Lovers Marianne and Jean-Paul spend their vacation in a villa near St.-Tropez. The main feature of the villa is a swimming pool, stage for most of the action. After a visit Marianne invites former lover Harry and his teenage daughter Penelope to stay. Tension between the grown-ups rises especially when Jean-Paul seduces Penelope. The consequences are deadly. Written by Peter Zunneberg <p.zunneberg@tip.nl>
Not a bad film. I watched it dubbed from French. Harry, played by Maurice Ronet shows up at Alain Delon and Romy Schneiders place with his teenage daughter and invites himself to stay for awhile. Tensions mount as Harry slowing makes an annoyance of himself by complaining about Romy Schneiders rice dish as he piles it in his mouth ect. Eventually it becomes clear that his intent is to leave his daughter there so that he can cut out in his Porsche alone. Delons character, (quiet and reserved) makes the film worth while in the final scenes. Great Michel Legrand score!
