Movie Description
Set on the French Riviera, Otto Preminger's film concerns a wealthy Frenchman (David Niven) who openly cavorts with his mistress, under the watchful eye of his 17-year-old daughter, Cecile. Cecile embarks on her own steamy summertime affair with a boy named Phillipe (Geoffrey Horne). But when Cecile's straight-laced godmother, Anne (Deborah Kerr), expresses disapproval toward the girl's fling with Phillipe, Cecile devises a scheme to drive her godmother away--which causes a tragic turn of events. Based on the novel by Francoise Sagan.

Industry Reviews
"Preminger, as always, treats his characters objectively, which is one reason his best films seem so grown-up for their time."
USA Today - Mike Clark (12/19/2003)
"Preminger fractures the story into a star black-and-white present and nostalgic Technicolor past -- a dramatically effective device that's bolstered by gorgeous tracking shots and splendid acting."
Entertainment Weekly - Tim Purtell (01/09/2004)
