Cecile, decadent young girl who lives with her rich playboy father Raymond. When Anne, Raymond's old love interest, comes to Raymond's villa, Cecile is afraid for her way of life.
Otto Preminger's 1958 adaptation of François Sagan's novel seems now both of its time and ahead of it.
The story is piercingly good and the central "revelation" scene, in which Preminger shows only Kerr's horrified face, is outstanding.
Much more to it than initially meets the eye.
