Trivia:
After screening this film, Nico Jacobellis, manager of a motion picture theater in Cleveland Heights, Ohio, was charged with and convicted of possessing and exhibiting an obscene film. He appealed all the way to the US Supreme Court, which overturned the convictions, ruling that the film was not obscene. In a concurring opinion, Justice Potter Stewart made his famous pronouncement concerning what was pornography: "I know it when I see it, and the motion picture involved in this case is not that." Jacobellis v. Ohio, 378 U.S. 184, 197 (1964) (Stewart, J., concurring). moreSoundtrack:

I was never a Jeanne Moreau fan before this film. This is one of her best performances. She plays the bored wife looking for love with dignity, honesty and passion. The music by Brahms during the evening love scenes adds additional emotion to this film. I found the story line simple, yet compelling and refreshing.
