It's full of misty romps in the meadows, rain-soaked windshields, assorted puppies and lambs, and a 'bittersweet' theme song that drones incessantly on the sound track.

Anouk Aimee has a mature beauty and an ability to project an inner quality that helps stave off the obvious banality of her character, and this goes too for the perceptive Jean-Louis Trintignant as the man.

They seem two dimly sentient beings moved by memories of conventional affections and the compulsions of ordinary love.

Bosley Crowther, New York Times

Notoriously schmaltzy but still undeniably eye-catching.
