Un Amour de Poche on AllMovie

Amour de Poche (Vest Pocket Love) was based on a novel by Wlademar Kaemffert. Jean Marais stars as an eccentric scientist who stumbles across a formula enabling him to shrink animals and humans and transform them into statues. While romancing the girl of his dreams, played by Agnes Laurent, Marais is interrupted by his harpy fiancee Genevieve Page. Hoping to elude Page, Laurent drinks the magic potion, at which point she is miniaturized and "petrified." The rest of the film finds Marais carrying his lady friend around in his pocket, while Page tags along, intending to grab both the formula and the human statue for her own financial gain. Amour de Poche was released in the US in 1962 as Nude in His Pocket.
