Ingrid Bergman plays Paula Tessier, a 40ish interior decorator with a long-running relationship with a chronically unfaithful man, Roger Demarest (Yves Montand). The twenty-something son of one of her clients, Phillip (Anthony Perkins), falls in love with her and she turns the tables on Roger by having an affair of her own. Bergman gives a solid, heartfelt performance and Montand is so attractively world-weary, it's easy to see why she can't fall out of love with him. Perkins' Phillip is a spoiled mama's boy and it's hard to understand the Bergman character's attraction to him, outside of the fact that she feels so hurt and neglected. The film's cinematography is beautiful and Paris looks gorgeous and, by today's standards, remarkably free of traffic.
