Review :
a lovely, haunting film. The first french film I saw.
Living in Australia at the time, it was unusual to see a French film as they were not often shown. I was a young boy at the time and was very impressed by both story and actors.As I remember an old single man wants to have a child of his own and therefore makes a young girl pregnant in the understanding that there are no further strings attached as he is doing this to spite his relatives who are waiting for him to die. He can leave what he owns to his child. I know I was young but the way he starts to love his mistress and than goes and marries her out of love touched me very much and after all these years I still think of this film with regard. Michael Simon was a leading French actor pretty highly regarded and Genevieve Page managed to get an international career.
