A man in a movie was seeking to bring about a revival of love with his wife, the couple living in a routine where feelings were on the fall. He made her Believe another man was interested in her, without himself to know anything of this. He soon discovered himself, as being the author of Anonymous letters and flowers.
The movie is humoristic.
Nevertheless, do you find the procedure moral or immoral, please?

I don't think deceiving one's wife in that regard would ever have a good result in real life, and the deception itself is wrong.

Moreover, writing the letters to his wife directly (and following through with their sentiments) would have the desired effect.

immoral - deceptive in nature - could have a happy ending - could have a bad ending ... depends on the "movie".

I'd call it potentially risky and stupid.

And yes, potentially tempting her to sin would fall under "causing another person to sin." God judges that harshly.

I agree with this. Looking at the situation it seems to me that the man in question had eyes set on worldly things. Thus bringing about his deceiving of his wife and the potential of causing his wife to sin. It makes me think of Adam and Eve at the beginning where Eve caused Adam to sin. What did God do?
To answer your question directly, it was immoral.

I'ld say that I would have to know more of where it went from there, to be able to answer the question.

Context and more detail seems required.

Just a movie! Done to be humoristic..Doesn't give more precision. Thank you

Sure, but I'm guessing the movie lasted more then then the 2 minutes to explain the overall plot... :)

So my answer at this point is that it can be moral, immoral and amoral, depending on where it went from there. :)

The movie is "Le zèbre", with the french comic actor Thierry Lhermite, but i Don't know whether any English translation has been done, if you're interested in watching it.
