French Kiss (1995)

Meg Ryan stars as Kate opposite Kevin Kline as the French con man Luc, with Timothy Hutton playing her straying fiancé Charlie. The film was directed by Lawrence Kasdan from a screenplay by Adam Brooks.

Kate, who is terrified of flying, forces herself onto a plane to France to win back her fiancé after he falls for another woman. On the journey she meets Luc, a French thief who secretly hides a stolen diamond necklace in her luggage, entangling them in each other's plans.

No, Kline is an American actor performing Luc with a French accent; he is well known for playing classic French roles, having won an Oscar for A Fish Called Wanda. His character, Luc Teyssier, dreams of his own vineyard and even smuggles a grapevine cutting during the story.

The production filmed in Paris and the south of France, giving the comedy its postcard views of the capital and the Côte d'Azur region. The French settings are central to the film's romantic appeal.
