Kitty and the Great Big World
1956 · Movie · 94 min. · Germany - West Germany (FRG)
Conference city Geneva: Conference city Geneva: Once again, the great figures of European political life are meeting in this hectic city. All of that, however, means nothing to Kitty Dupont. Contritely, she's standing before her boss, Monsieur Jeannot, the premier diva hairstylist of Geneva, and listening to the most bitter reprimands coming out of his mouth simply because she once again showed up to work late. But how can you expect her to show up on time, when she can't get the memories of the exciting adventure she had yesterday out of her mind? It all started rather harmlessly: She recommended a restaurant to an older gentleman and he, in turn, invited her to dine with him. Kitty was deeply impressed with the restaurant's grandeur, which she could only occasionally spy from outside the establishment's display windows. She was overwhelmed by the eatery's crabs, which she ate for the first time in her life and she was charmed by the man who invited her to all this. She couldn't know, however, that she was dining with the British Foreign Minister and she couldn't have imagined all the political implications this little dinner was going to have. The very next day, The "Basel National Newspaper" published a picture of the minister with the little manicurist from Geneva. The minister's secretary is horrified by the world sensation this "fling" is creating. The minister, Sir William, is forced to make a public statement to the assembled press, whch he does with the composure and dexterity of a great statesman. The explanation? Little Kitty's a flirty slut.
