Adorable Liar (French: Adorable Menteuse) is a 1962 French romantic comedy film directed by Michel Deville, starring Marina Vlady, Macha Méril and Jean-Marc Bory.

Premise

Juliette and Sophie are sisters: Juliette lies out of boredom, while Sophie has problems because of her excessive frankness. When Juliette falls in love with an older man, her past catches up with her: no matter how much she tries to convince him of her genuine feelings, he refuses to believe her. Thus love teaches her how important sincerity is; meanwhile, Sophie learns that a lie can be salutary.
