About Famous Love Affairs
An anthology of four historical love affairs: at Versailles, Louis XIV shares his mistress with one of his subjects; a courtesan tries to disfigure her lover with acid; a medieval wife faces the wrath of her husband's father, who has her condemned to death; and a stage actress provides advice on life and love to her young colleague.
Directed by Michel Boisrond, Famous Love Affairs leans on a strong ensemble — Jean-Paul Belmondo, Philippe Noiret, Dany Robin — to carry a story that balances spectacle with character.
The film landed with audiences for its craft and performances, and remains one of the most talked-about history titles of 1961.
