The film has never been the most commercial successful for Romy or Alain, but it is beautiful enough (not only the two actors). And memorable chemistry between the screen couple is awesome.

Another version of Romeo & Juliet? I don't think so, the story is more negative and depress, since the young lieutenant (Alain Delon) wants to quit the affair with the married baroness. In the end, his death shows people have to pay for your past. The true love, which may be once in your lifetime, also is paid. And, even your life.

As Christine Weiring Romy's performance is sensitive, especially when she knows Franz Lobheiner's death, sorrow in her eyes is remarkable. By contrast, Alain's character limited by script, but intelligent he is, he fulfill each scene with his personality.
