A stately, elegant and seductive tale of ideals and compromise. Fritz Lang wants to make a film of The Odyssey, his American producer wants naked sirens and the scriptwriter invites the contempt of his wife by falling for the chequebook instead of remaining true to his art. Movie jokes, magnificent camerawork and a memorable score complement the commanding screen presences of Bardot and Piccoli, Palance and Lang.
