Film Synopsis
Des Grieux, one of Europe's top journalists, is spellbound by the vision of a beautiful young woman at Tokyo airport. He can hardly believe his good fortune when, arriving in Paris, the same alluring woman, Manon, abandons her travelling companion and jumps into a taxi with him. In no time, Des Grieux and Manon become lovers. This is not something that pleases Manon's wealthy brother, who intends using all his resources to protect his sister from such unsuitable admirers...© James Travers
