One of the movies I enjoyed seeing again was "Les Amants", with
Jeanne Moreau. I had seen it back in the 1950s in an art theater
in Cleveland and the "hotter" scenes had been greyed out.
Unfortunately, by today's standards they were tepid, not hot. But
I rather doubt this movie of sophisticated characters was heavily
accented.

My, Moreau looked young......
