      Audience Member This very enjoyable early 70's classic had very spotty & inconsistent releases...maybe the fact that the titles are different. One poster is entitled "A Drama of Jealousy" another "Pizza Triangle." Rarely has a director found such humor in such a dark story of human suffering. I loved the way the actors would turn to the camera & give us insights into the characters & story. Never beautiful except for the lush romantic soundtrack - this relatively unknown film deserves to be released on a scale that allows all film lovers to be able to get their hands on it. It's all prime pickings for a remake. Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 02/10/23 Full Review Audience Member Mi-conte, mi-drame de moeurs. Une histoire drôle et touchante (oui, vous avez bien lu) sur un triangle amoureux. En fait, l'histoire ratisse encore plus large, c'est un peu difficile à expliquer...
