Christine Carère is a law student at the Sorbonne. She is engaged to fellow student Bradford Dillman. She has an affair with professor Rosssano Brazzi, which ends badly.
Jean Negulescu's lush version of Francoise Sagan's novel shows his painterly eye for landscapes and scenes, as Mlle Carère spouts existentialism as it is better to do than to be, and fouls things up completely. I have never read the book, so I can't tell if that is the mesae there, or if screenwriters Frances Goodrich and Albert Hackett added that. I have a lot more sympathy for Joan Fontaine as Brazzi's wife.
Johnny Mathis gargles the Oscar-nominated title song.
