Another Man, Another Chance (Un autre homme, une autre chance, UK title: Another Man, Another Woman) is a 1977 French western film directed by Claude Lelouch.
Plot
France in 1870: Napoleon III has just lost the war against Prussia and left the country in poverty.
Young Jeanne (Geneviève Bujold) falls in love with photographer Francis (Francis Huster), who soon takes her with him when he emigrates to The United States. In a small town in the still Wild West, they build up a small photo shop. Meanwhile animal doctor David (James Caan) lives on his lonesome farm with his wife.
It takes two years and two tragic accidents until Jeanne and David meet. Alone with a child, Jeanne has decided to return to France and is about to leave but then she and David silently and carefully fall in love for the second time in their lives and hope returns.

Reception
Filmink said "it’s a little McCabe and Mrs Miller-ish with its usual, semi-lyrical look at an old West interspersed with shocking scenes of violence. It was shot (mostly) in English with a name co-star Genevieve Bujold, but no one saw it. More’s the pity."
