Francois Truffaut Season: Anne and Muriel

BBC Two
on BBC Two England

Starring Jean-Pierre Leaud, Kika Markham, Stacey Tendeter

Truffaut's romantic portrait of two English sisters who love the same Frenchman for 20 years was based on the second novel by Henri-Pierre Roche, author of Jules et Jim. It is a haunting, bittersweet story set at the turn of the century in Paris and Wales. Anne, in Paris to study sculpture, meets Claude and, thinking that he will be the ideal husband for her sister Muriel, invites him to stay with her family in Wales.
Films: p 27 (First showing on British television)
