The Lady in the Car with Glasses and a Gun (French: La Dame dans l'auto avec des lunettes et un fusil) is a 2015 French-Belgian mystery thriller film directed by Joann Sfar and starring Freya Mavor, Benjamin Biolay, Elio Germano, and Stacy Martin.
It is based on the 1966 novel by Sébastien Japrisot[3][4] and a remake of the 1970 film about a woman who is implicated in a crime she knows nothing about and must find out about to prove she is innocent.
Dany, a secretary, accepts an offer from her boss, Michel Caravaille, to stay overnight at his house and complete a project.
In the morning, Michel requests Dany accompany him and Anita to the airport to drive their expensive car back home.
After treating herself to a shopping spree, a woman who owns a nearby café stops Dany and asks if she is feeling better.
Several men come running when they hear her cries, but a mechanic is skeptical of her story, as he claims that she had already visited his station last night with an existing injury to her wrist.
Confused and starting to doubt her own sanity, Dany exits the hotel and encounters a man who introduces himself as Georges.
Upset but unwilling to divorce his wife, Michel devised a plan in which she would dress as Dany and make herself conspicuous with a wounded wrist and luxury car.
