 (1967) Louis Jourdan, Senta Berger, Edmund O’Brien, Maurice Garrel. In this special 2-disc set, you get beautiful anamorphic editions of both the English language version as well as the original French-language version (with English subs).  Jourdan plays a poorly selling novelist-turned-unlucky-gambler in this engaging French spy movie.
