Between Sheets. The story, which made Sidney Sheldon's novel a roaring bestseller in paperback, traces the fortunes of a French girl (Marie-France Pisier), who is seduced and abandoned by an American pilot (John Beck) while she is pregnant. She goes on to sleep her way to the top of the French film industry and become the mistress of an Onassis-like Greek magnate (Raf Vallone), all the while nursing a scheme of vengeance against Beck. Sarandon plays the perky Washington public relations girl whom Beck marries before Pisier finally gets him under her thumb and between...
...COUPLE meets at a wedding reception, abandoned by their respective spouses, Marie-France Pisier and Guy Marchand, who are off making love. This latest infidelity is only one more in a long line of similar abuses both Barrault and Lanoux have suffered over the course of their decade-long marriages.

We do root for Barrault and Lanoux as their affair escalates, as they begin to take a mischievous delight in flaunting their romance in front of a chagrined Pisier...

There is some excellent photography and a surprise-on-surprise ending that confuses even Robbe-Grillet...
Love at Twenty. It happens to almost everyone. To Antoine (Jean-Pierre Léaud) it happens at a concert for young people. Just across the aisle he sees a lovely young thing (Marie-France Pisier) with big dark eyes and a flood of thick dark hair. When the concert is over he tries to follow her home, but the subway swallows her up. At the next concert she smiles absently in his direction-Antoine reels with bliss. At the next she actually speaks to him-Antoine has found his Cléopâtre. Colette, on the other hand...
