Goodbye Emmanuelle

French erotic drama Goodbye Emmanuelle, also known as Emmanuelle 3, was directed in 1977 by François Leterrier. It is the third entry in the series built around the character created by Emmanuelle Arsan and follows Emmanuelle 2 of 1975. It stayed the series' last French-language film until Emmanuelle 7 arrived in 1992; later entries were made in English. It did not match the success of the 1974 original and is best known for its score by Serge Gainsbourg.

In the story, Emmanuelle and her husband Jean settle in the Seychelles, where she ends up leaving him. Sylvia Kristel stars, joined by Umberto Orsini, Alexandra Stewart, Olga Georges-Picot, Jacques Doniol-Valcroze, Charlotte Alexandra, Greg Germain and Jean-Pierre Bouvier. The film was shot entirely in the Seychelles, Africa's smallest country, in the Indian Ocean. It was first conceived as the close of a Kristel trilogy with Emmanuelle (1974) and Emmanuelle 2.

Leterrier wrote the screenplay with Monique Lange, and the film runs 94 minutes. The series continued with Emmanuelle 4 in 1984; Kristel returned for that film and for the seventh in 1992. Goodbye Emmanuelle was released in 1977 through Parafrance and Warner Columbia and distributed in the United States by Miramax in 1980. Given its audience, the series later grew by four more sequels, up to 1992.
