Otto Preminger (Bunny Lake Is Missing) directs Bonjour Tristesse, a stylish adaptation of Françoise Sagan's novel, starring Deborah Kerr (The Chalk Garden), David Niven (Bluebeard's Eighth Wife), and Jean Seberg (Lilith). Holidaying on the French Riviera, widower and playboy Raymond (Niven) begins to develop a relationship with staid Anne (Kerr). His manipulative daughter Cécile (Seberg), fearing her behaviour will be curtailed, conspires to come between them, with tragic results... Shot on location by Georges Périnal (The Life and Death of Colonel Blimp) in an innovative mixture of colour and black-and-white photography, Bonjour Tristesse was a favourite film of nouvelle vague filmmakers François Truffaut and Jean-Luc Godard, with the latter casting Seberg in his debut feature, Breathless.
