Film Description

Taken from Arthur Schnitzler’s rather cynical play about sexual morals (or the lack of them) in turn of the century Vienna, Ophuls’ film recreates the scene more as nostalgia for a magical lost world of pleasure and romance.

Review by anonymous on 1st September 2000

A circular tale of love and seduction, set in Vienna of 1900. "Every major and minor legend of French acting stepped off his or her pedestal to foot it nimbly through Schnitzlers daisy-chain of encounters between the sexes..a triumph of wit and a miracle of inventive style" The Financial Times.

Review by GNS on

The opening shot, in which Anton Walbrook invites the audience to take part in this magic, is alone worth the price of the movie. Wonderful performances by a gallery of leading actors and actresses, with Danielle Darrieux, Gérard Philipe and Walbrook outstanding, make this an absolute must.
