That was a theatrical release with two people whose faces i can see but no names come to mind. Nor does the title of it. the main actor's first name is tom. The woman gets a bump on her head and wakes up believing she is a character in a series of mystery novels who lives at the Ritz in Paris. She somehow gets involved with the writer of the novels, a man using a pen name, and spies who think she is real, not realizing she's playing a character.
There's a great scene where she goes shopping and tells the clerk to send the bill to the hotel, the clerk phones the hotel and the manager says (in that snooty french accent) of course, blank lives here. everyone knows that.
Sigourney Weaver. She played the lead. (and maybe Tom Stoppard. definitely Tom. cool british accent) The code phrase was nietsche's What doesnt destroy me, makes me stronger. Was mir nicht something, machts mir sterker. or something like that. i dont speak german
It also has the scene that mike myers spoofed in the spy who shagged me, where at the crucial moment, the mystery character says, "Because this is not a woman" as she rips off the criminal's wig "this is a man."
Yes, ive seen it several times. I liked it. You'd think i would remember the title. Imdb won't load for me. The writer's pen name was Evelyn something.
I wonder how much of this will turn out to be right. I know the plot is right but the names. lol
Edited to add, not tom stoppard, he's a writer, and not sigourney weaver. _sigh_ I need to go to bed. I will figure this out. At least you know you didn't imagine this movie. lol
Edited again to add FOUND IT
