...very simple story, though told with needless complexity. Yet it does have a certain charm. Romy Schneider is extraordinarily attractive as the woman, and Victor Lanoux (of Cousin, Cousine) offers both stalwart charm and ideological reticence as the revolutionary. We are allowed to gather that what makes him more attractive than her husband, who is funnier and probably better company over the long haul, is that belief in something beyond oneself tends to make a fellow more exciting sexually.

...Crimson runners racked up a solid string of firsts in the distance events, as Bryan won the 800-meter race, co-captain Linsley outran the field in the 1500-meter run, and cross-country stalwart Kat Taylor copped the 3000-meter event...
