| Brief Description: | Highly suggestive of Albert Camus' The Plague, Yves Allegret's grim
adaptation of Sartre's novel L'Amour Redempteur was virtually unknown
in this country until Martin Scorsese "discovered" the work, and
organized its re-release. Michele Morgan plays an aristocratic French
woman traveling through Mexico whose husband dies from a mysterious
disease. Stranded in a decaying Mexican coastal town, Morgan falls for
a local doctor (Gerard Philipe) who is distraught over his wife's
death. With Carlos Moctezuma, Victor Mendoza andMichele Cardone.
French with English subtitles. |
