I can vividly recall aspects of the two films which I saw 35-36 years ago. I often think of the films and the unique approach the director, André Cayatte took in showing a relationship from the viewpoint of each partner. I recall how utterly convinced I was after seeing the man's version that I knew the woman was lying as she told her story, for I had already seen what actually happened! It wasn't until I had viewed more than half the second film that I began to think that maybe I had made a miss judgment. By the end of the second film I knew that the man had totally lied throughout the first film. It would be great to see the films again, and this time I'd like to see them in reverse. If they are equally compelling, I would recommend making them required viewing before any divorce proceeding. They certainly makes you look at both sides
