Amazing that Noelle Page (Marie France Pissier) had it all, and managed to lose everything-including her life in this interesting 1977 film.
John Beck is no leading actor and he proved that in this film. Not one to have good looks, Beck is miscast as the pilot who believes in impregnating women and then dumping them.
Raf Vallone plays an Aristotle Onassis like-character with vengeance in his heart.
The real solid performance here is by Susan Sarandon, who starts off as a meek secretary, who falls under the spell of Beck and even marries him.
This is definitely a story of lust, greed, hate and vengeance, nicely done. Beginning in 1939, surprisingly it really doesn't deal with the war, but with people caught up in lust and ultimate misery.
The ironic ending must serve as a reminder to all that the wealthy have unbelievable power in society.
