Le Beau Mariage (lit. 'The Good Marriage') is a 1982 French romantic comedy-drama film written and directed by Éric Rohmer, starring Béatrice Romand, André Dussollier, Arielle Dombasle and Féodor Atkine. It follows a young art history student (Romand) who swears off affairs with married men in favor of finding a husband, and soon pursues a successful and single lawyer (Dussollier).
The film is the second instalment in Rohmer's "Comedies & Proverbs" (Comédies et Proverbes) series. It opens with a proverb by Jean de La Fontaine: "Quel esprit ne bat la campagne? Qui ne fait château en Espagne?" ("Who doesn't daydream? Who doesn't build castles in the air?").
