Anthology film with adaptations of three stories by Guy de Maupassant (Le Masque, La Maison Tellier and Le Modèle).
Max Ophüls' cinematic virtuosity is well on display in this work, the stories themselves, however are of differing depth - and interest.
Halliwell*: "Stylish but rather subdued compendium, with no highlights to stay in the memory."
Maltin***1/2: "The joy and heartache of l'amour and the pursuit of pleasure is explored with subtlety and sophistication...Brilliantly acted by a superb cast and directed with customary virtuosity and a dazzlingly fluid style."
