The April Fools (1969)
Directed by Stuart Rosenberg
Newly-promoted if none too happily married Howard Brubaker leaves a rowdy company party early with the stunning Catherine, whom it turns out is herself unhappily married — to the boss. They spend an innocent night in New York becoming more and more attracted to each other, so that when Catherine announces she intends to leave her husband and return to Paris, Howard asks to go along too.

What critics compared The April Fools to
For another thing, while skipping school is exhilarating, I'd have much rather seen the same situation applied to an adult, the way Yves Robert did in ''A Very Happy Alexander" (1969), which had Phillipe Noiret shocking his neighbors by taking to bed after his wife dies and staying there, and as Stuart Rosenberg did in "The April Fools" (also '69), in which Jack Lemmon forsakes his suburban home and family and flies off to Paris with Catherine Deneuve.
