The American Beauty 1961
Marcel, a well‑meaning factory worker, is persuaded by a widow to purchase an expensive American convertible so the vehicle never ends up with her late husband’s secret lover and secretary. After acquiring the car, Marcel endures a string of mishaps: it guzzles fuel, his wife repeatedly tries to resell it, he becomes trapped in endless traffic jams, and he even drives through a car wash with the roof down, among other comic setbacks.
