The Suitor (French: Le Soupirant) is a 1962 French comedy film directed by and starring Pierre Étaix. It was entered into the 13th Berlin International Film Festival and the 3rd Moscow International Film Festival.
The film is a slapstick farce that reworks the storyline of Buster Keaton's 1925 comedy Seven Chances, about a young man who is required to find a wife quickly.
