Go in from here and this film is already out on the counter, with more like it waiting on the shelf next to it.

What happens
La Piscine (The Swimming Pool) is a 1969 psychological thriller film directed by Jacques Deray and starring Alain Delon, Romy Schneider, Maurice Ronet and Jane Birkin. Set in summertime on the French Riviera, it is a drama of sexual jealousy and possessiveness. Both French and English-language versions of the film were made, with the actors filmed speaking English for the international release, which was unusual at a time when films were always either dubbed or subtitled. The 114-minute international release, shorter than the French version, also had slightly different editing. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
