Alors que Julie pense décrocher un CDI dans une fabrique d'escarpins de luxe, un plan social vient chambouler ses rêves de stabilité : entre lutter aux côtés d'ouvrières frondeuses ou bien faire profil bas, la jeune femme ne sait sur quel pied danser. Mais quand Samy, un camionneur aussi roublard que charmeur, vient prêter main forte au combat, ce n'est déjà plus la même chanson…
In Cecil B. DeMille’s 1920 comedy Why Change Your Wife? Gloria Swanson (DeMille’s regular leading lady of this period) as Beth, a respectable and rather prim wife who discovers that husbands don’t necessarily want their wives to be respectable and moral. It’s not that he doesn’t love her; he just wants a little romance in his marriage, and when another woman comes along who offers him the excitement he craves, he inevitably strays. And divorce inevitable follows.
Beth then has a sudden revelation – maybe it’s not only true that men like shameless hussies, but maybe it’s also true that shameless hussies have quite a lot of fun. So she decides to transform herself into a sexpot.
