Synopsis: Get Out Your Handkerchiefs (1979)
Synopis: When Raoul's wife, Solange, falls into a state of perpetual despondency, he tries anything to cure her -- including asking a total stranger to make love to her. But even with a new lover, her sadness remains. The two men are utterly baffled, until a neighbor offers an invaluable insight: might Solange want a baby? It turns out that she does, but after numerous attempts, neither husband nor lover succeeds in impregnating her. Then, one afternoon, the three head off on a field trip and Solange meets Christian, a precocious 13-year-old whiz kid who manages to get her into bed. Finally, with this boy, Solange finds contentment. But Christian's horrified parents immediately attempt to ship him off to boarding school. Solange, however, has no intention of losing her new-found happiness -- even if she has to resort to kidnapping to keep it.Features: Get Out Your Handkerchiefs (1979)

Pros: funny in an adult, melancholy way
Cons: sad in an adult, melancholy way
I haven't seen this movie in 20 years, but remember it would be well worth seeing again. Whether the movie is funny or sad depends on who you identify with. The husband is protagonist, and confused throughout, because he can't figure out why his wife is melancholy. If you distance yourself, you can see he is funny. I would have to see it again to give more detail. Well worth seeing! ...
