LE ROUGE ET LE NOIR

(The Red & the Black)

Starring: Gérard Philipe, Danielle Darrieux, Antonella Lualdi

Stendhal's brilliant but difficult novel Le Rouge et le Noir all but defies transfer to film, but adaptor/director Claude Autant-Lara comes within shouting distance of full success. Stripped to essentials, the plot concerns Julien Sorel (Gerard Philipe), a carpenter's son who becomes a tutor. While his duties do not include the seduction of his employer's wife (Danielle Darrieux), Sorel offers this service free of charge. After this episode, Sorel becomes a priest...and the story isn't over yet...

Before a court of law, Julien Sorel confesses to the attempted murder of the woman he loved and asks that he be condemned to death.  As he awaits the verdict, he reflects on the events which led him to this tragic outcome.  The son of a carpenter, Julien was driven by an obsessive ambition to better himself and ascend the social ladder.  His first position was as a private tutor for the wealthy Monsieur Rénal, whom he repays by having a passionate love affair with his wife.  When he is forced to separate from Madame Rénal, Julien decides to enter a seminary to train to be a priest.  When this fails to meet his aspirations, he gets a job as personal secretary to the Marquis de la Mole in Paris – which ends in another amorous entanglement, this time with his employer’s daughter.  When he hears that Madame Rénal has written a condemning letter to the Marquis, Julien has no other course but to take his revenge...
