LA RONDE

Mas Ophuls’ 1950 all-star French film of the Arthur Schnitzler play takes us back to an elegant and melancholy turn-of the-century Vienna as our narrator (Anton Walbrook) tells us of a merry-go-round of romance, which begins and ends with the picking up of Simone Signoret’s young and slim streetwalker. Much bemused acceptance of the human foibles of infidelity and self-deception. Also stars Simone and Serge Reggiani (pictured).
