1962, NR, 120 min.
Directed by Joseph Losey, Narrated by , Voices by , Starring Jeanne Moreau, Stanley Baker, Virna Lisi, Nona Medici.

In its review, Variety described this little-seen Losey work as “a sleek, mannered look at an affair between a cold, almost psychotic, call girl and a writer, who is fraught with overtones of masochism.” Filmed in Venice but presented in English, the film stars French beauty Jeanne Moreau as the cold-hearted prostitute, who messes with the head of Stanley Baker’s so-called writer. This screening is a rare opportunity to see the film and certainly as presented in this director’s cut. See www.austinfilm.org for more on the series.
