La Vérité si je mens ! (French pronunciation: [la.ve.ʁi.te.siʒ.mɑ̃] ; English title: Would I Lie to You?) is a 1997 French film, directed by Thomas Gilou. It was followed by a sequel, La Vérité si je mens ! 2, and a third movie La Vérité si je mens ! 3.
In Paris, Eddie Vuibert (Richard Anconina) is an unemployed man in financial difficulty. A rich Jewish cloth manufacturer takes Eddie into his corporation out of pity because he mistakenly believes him to be Jewish as well. Eddie rapidly integrates in the Parisian Jewish community and rises as a sales manager. He continues his masquerade of pretending to be Ashkenazi Jew in order to woo his boss's daughter (played by Amira Casar).
