Notorious womanizer and oil baron Paul Chadwick (Rock Hudson) wins a legal case in Paris by charming the female judge, which infuriates the opposing lawyer, Michel Boullard (Charles Boyer). Boullard then asks Chadwick for a favor in exchange for not exposing his shenanigans. Chadwick is to seduce Boullard's estranged daughter, Lauren (Leslie Caron), a domineering Freudian psychologist, in order to break her engagement to a milquetoast suitor. Things soon spin out of control.

The basic plot is nasty enough, but the dialogue is even nastier. As usual, all this escapes censorship under false pretences, not the least of which is that A Very Special Favor is funny. Go to Full Review Read all reviews

08/29/2013 A somewhat funny, somewhat creepy sex farce that revolves around Charles Boyer trying to get his daughter, Leslie Caron, laid by Rock Hudson. They torture the poor girl for the better part of an hour before she finally gets her revenge. The whole affair is so filthy that it's no wonder Doris Day turned it down. See more 01/01/2012 It's not very good...not to mention unfunny, contrived, and misogynistic. See more Read all reviews
