La chamade (1968)
(Heartbeat)
Country: FR/IT
Technical: Eastmancolor 103m
Director: Alain Cavalier
Cast: Michel Piccoli, Catherine Deneuve, Roger Van Hool, Jacques Sereys
Synopsis:
A businessman's mistress begins to despise her life of comfort and falls in love with a younger, and poorer, man. Being in a couple, however, soon turns out not to be a bed of roses.
Review:
Humdrum Françoise Sagan adaptation, a typically French antidote to happily-ever-afters. Its cast perform smoothly enough, with its director doing a fair imitation of Douglas Sirk, but it is all too gossamer light.
