Le Signe du lion (The Sign of Leo) is a 1959 French film directed by Éric Rohmer, his feature debut. Along with Le Beau Serge, directed by Claude Chabrol (who produced The Sign of Leo), it was one of the first films of the French New Wave. The title refers to the Zodiac sign Leo, under which the protagonist says he was born. Much of the film's plot is concerned with notions of luck and fate. The film was not a commercial success and Rohmer didn't make another feature for 8 years, instead concentrating on short films and his position at the influential film magazine Cahiers du cinéma.
It stars Jess Hahn, Michèle Girardon, and Van Doude.
