My Night at Maud's, also known as My Night with Maud (UK), is a 1969 French New Wave drama film by Éric Rohmer. It is the third film in his series of Six Moral Tales.

Production

By 1967, Rohmer had the necessary funding for the third part of his Six Moral Tales cycle, My Night at Maud's, to be filmed in 35 mm. Because actor Jean-Louis Trintignant was not available at the time, however, filming had to be delayed, and the film was ultimately released after the fourth part of the cycle, La Collectionneuse. My Night at Maud's was produced by Les Films du Losange, the production company of Rohmer and Barbet Schroeder.
