The Man Who Loved Women (1977): Bertrand Morane is a ladies' man like no other. Wholly obsessed with the female species, he goes to outrageous lengths for the prospect of a fleeting romantic encounter. But when he documents all his passionate flings in a racy autobiography, he piques the interest, both personally and professionally, of a beautiful and provocative editor.
The Wild Child (1970): At the National Institute For The Deaf and Dumb in Paris, a barely clothed and dirty young boy is admitted. Found in a forest, the child is unable to speak, communicate or function in society. Christened Victor by the hospital staff, his case is taken up by Doctor Itard, a lone physician who has an unyielding dedication to re-integrating the lad into society. But the road to tame the beast is a rocky one and Itard will have to work tirelessly to teach Victor how to reclaim his place in the world... even if it means staking his reputation on it!
Mississippi Mermaid (1969): Louis Mahe, a tobacco planter of Reunion Island, desires to marry the mail-order bride he has grown to love through her love letters, only when he meets her for the first time she does not look like the girl in the picture she had sent of herself. After he marries her despite being misled, she turns out to be someone else and runs off with his money. He pursues her and so begins their passionate love story...
The Story Of Adele H (1969): Like her father Victor Hugo, Adele had a gift for writing. However, she wrote in code, creating a secret diary. Only in modern times was the diary deciphered, revealing the true-life story of her obsessive love.
The Bride Wore Black (1968): Julie (Jeanne Moreau), a beautiful young bride, has just married her childhood sweetheart and love of her life. But just moments after the ceremony, her beloved is murdered on the steps of the church. Emotionally distraught, Julie becomes obsessed with her bridegroom's death and begins a descent into madness as she relentlessly pursues the men responsible. One by one, Julie sees to their demises, and, with each murder more bone-chilling and diabolically clever than the last, the question is not who will be next - but rather how they will meet their ghastly end.
