Ophüls’s evocatively photographed and stylishly if occasionally flashily directed film consists of three short tales, adapted from Guy de Maupassant stories, revolving around sex, love, and passion, which provide good, solid entertainment for an adult audience (but not, unfortunately, much more than that).
