This film would have to rank up there as one of Bunel's best, along with La Charme Discret de la Bourgeoisie. In this film he again uses actor Fernando Rey and a relative newcomer to Cinema, the ever beautiful Carole Bouquet.
The film uses a very unique film device, which is the female lead is actually played by two actresses: One actress for her placid nature and another actress for her tempremental side. This makes the film fascinating viewing even more so that the women don't even look the slightest bit alike. The film also has those beautiful European situations such as Fernando Rey telling his story to a train carriage full of freaks and oddities.
Just one of those exceptional movies.
