Many virtues . The first - maybe the accuracy to Stendhal message. The admirable chemistry between Gerard Philipe and Danielle Darrieux. And, not the less, the new Julien Sorel. Impressive for the nuances of a character escaping from the perspective about one side. Seductive for few scenes giving the essence of period. Serving profound humanism. A film with so many virtues ! One of them - the first steps of Antonela Lualdi. Not the best performance of her but a nice work .
