Storyline
| Plot Summary |
Having previously been filmed under the same title by Max Ophüls, Arthur Schnitzler's once-controversial play "Reigen" got an appropriately scintillating update courtesy of swinging-sixties eroticist Roger Vadim. Jane Fonda, Anna Karina, and Jean-Claude Brialy are among the bed-hopping coterie of soldiers, prostitutes, maids, actors, and aristocrats who swap lovers amid the opulence of pre-World War I Europe, captured in sumptuous color by celebrated New Wave cinematographer Henri Decaë. |

Did You Know?
| Trivia | Roger Vadim had a massive eight-story billboard put up on the side of the De Mille Theater in New York City to promote the movie premiere. It featured a nude Jane Fonda laying on a bed with her bare butt visible. Fonda had no knowledge he was going to do it and was shocked when she saw her naked body towering above the city. Her father, actor Henry Fonda, was furious. See more » |
