Storyline
Did you know
- TriviaOriginally, this subject was offered by the Hakim brothers, who produced it, to Jean-Luc Godard to direct. Godard was anxious to sign Richard Burton for the leading role, but failed and then dropped out of the project. The Hakims instead obtained the services of another Welsh actor, Stanley Baker, who insisted on them hiring his friend Joseph Losey to direct.

Featured review
transitional genre, looking more back than forward
The humiliation of a vain playboy at the hands of Eva (or Eve as he
will call her), played by Jeanne Moreau occurs with too much
predictability & haste, and must in the end drag. The film should
have been cast with Burton and Moreau, & the Stanley Baker left in
a more British genre - for though Baker plays with great
intelligence, nicely turning our sympathies away as the character
receives his come-uppance, there is a curious implausibility about
the combination. Two incommensurate worlds, sexes, as a
theme to be sure, but neither can be appreciated from the other,
and so neither is enhanced.
