Moving Pictures: The European Films of Max Ophüls

A witty adaptation of an Arthur Schnitzler play, "La ronde" is one of Ophüls’s most celebrated and imitated films. Initially banned in the United States for “immorality.” this film set in lavish 19th century Vienna chronicles a roundabout of fleeting romances, a prostitute loves a soldier who loves a chambermaid who loves a poet ...and on and on. In French with English subtitles. (France, 1950, 35mm, b/w, 110 min.)
