The Swimming Pool

A couple's sun-soaked summer at a St Tropez villa curdles into jealousy and danger when her ex-lover and his teenage daughter come to stay.

Jacques Deray's 1969 drama-thriller unfolds over a languid summer at a villa near St Tropez, where a couple's idyllic break is disturbed by the arrival of her former lover and his teenage daughter. As jealousy and desire simmer among the four, the holiday slides into a dangerous game of attraction and suspicion. Alain Delon and Romy Schneider lead the cast, joined by Maurice Ronet and Jane Birkin.
