La Poupée (film)

La Poupée ("The Doll") is a 1962 French-Italian science fiction film directed by Jacques Baratier. It was entered into the 12th Berlin International Film Festival. It was Baratier's final film. La Poupée is a surrealistic work, "part theater of the absurd, part musical with Greek chorus". Grand Guignol

In La Poupée, a rebel impersonates the leader of a fictional country, loosely modeled off Latin American dictators. His "wife" Marion (played by the crossdressing actor Sonne Teal) is in fact also a robot imposter, the Poupée.
