	La Ronde(Criterion Collection)     Written and Directed by Max Ophüls France-Italy 1950 / Comedy / Comedy of Manners / Sex Comedy / 93 min / Black & White / Monaural / 1.33:1 Aspect Ratio / NTSC /  In French With Optional English Subtitles Anton Walbrook, Simone Signoret, Serge Reggiani , Simone Simon, Daniel Gélin, Danielle Darrieux . Simone Signoret, Anton Walbrook, and Simone Simon lead a roundelay of French stars in Max Ophuls's delightful, acerbic adaptation of Arthur Schnitzler's controversial turn-of-the-century play Reigen. Soldiers, chambermaids, poets, prostitutes, aristocrats—all are on equal footing in this multicharacter merry-go-round of love and infidelity, directed with a sweeping gaiety as knowingly frivolous as it is enchanting, and shot with Ophuls's trademark mellifluous cinematography.
