Une femme coquette (A Flirtatious Woman) (1955) was the first of four short fiction films made by French filmmaker Jean-Luc Godard preceding his work in feature-length narrative film.
The short film is based on the story Le Signe (The Signal) by Guy de Maupassant.
It is a nine-minute story of a woman who decides to copy the gesture she has seen a prostitute make to passing men.
In Maupassant's original tale the scene takes place indoors, the woman having signaled from her window, but in Godard's revision the characters meet by a bench on the Ile Rousseau in Geneva.
