An interracial Cinderella story about a hefty black cleaning lady -- and single mother of five -- whose alertness and fortitude help clear the name of a disgraced yogurt executive, and who earns more than just his gratitude. A softly feminist comedy virtually devoid of mirth, but bubbling over with adulation for the heroine ("a fountain of goodness, a courageous woman"). Retitled from Mama, There's a Man in Your Bed; with Daniel Auteuil and Firmine Richard; directed by Coline Serreau. (1988) — Duncan Shepherd
