I understand all that is said here, the era and the fact that this was his first film but I found the film to be rather heavy-handed and too styistic, too New Wave, to accurately represent the book (in my opinion). The second film, if 2004, erred a bit more towards romance so so missed accurately representing the humanity of the book, I think it was more accurate than the first by focusing on human beings, which, to me, the first film did not.
If words could hurt, silence is express their feeling...I wacthed this wonderful love story movie version 2004
The story was wonderful.
I watched this film over and over again, something appealing to me. Melville is a stylist.
Where did you see it?
Thank you so much for this wonderful analysis and back story of the Melville version.
Am still trying to find it online.🙏

Très intéressant. Je vous remercier pour partager.
Très intéressant.Merci .
Great book. Great movie;
Vincendeau’s book about Melville is a stimulating read too.
The performance of HOWard Vernon as the nazi officer is astonishingly Is one of my favorite movies
I love the later version in color. I don’t know if the BW version has English subtitles.
Es maravillosa y Melville alucinante
Wow

But what is the meaning of the very last scene ? The captain came back to France to be with her, but the relationship had to be secret ?
The first film was made by a Résistance member, based on a book of another Résistance member. The topic is not about a romance. It is about dignity.

Fighting the writer is why almost always studios buy book rights outright. The writer has to take the money and disappear.
