I have bought six copies ( I liked this film so much) and the quality is excellent. Correction to the two previous reviews....Natalie Delon's character is the racing driver's 25 year old girl friend not his wife! Secondly Renaud Verley has had a good career look him up and see how he looks today. he deserved to succeed.he film has been slightly censored for japan, and Robert Hossein seems to have had his teeth done! What a great actor he became, after this and Angelique! Nathalie Delon has never looked better and her acting is just what the role demanded. her autobiography , very honest came out a couple of years ago, and prove her to be very independent. (Is that a mark of a good french actress? viz Brigitte Bardot, Catherine Deneuve. Incidentally Verley was born 9th November 1945 and Nathalie Delon,1st August 1941 she is playing 25 and he 18- 7 years difference, not four, so he was a young looking 23 year old! This film needs to be discovered by a new generation, who might appreciate how morals have changed, and the pang of a great love affair. the ending surprises, i think.
