comment
Christine is a 1958 French period drama, directed by Pierre Gaspard-Huit and starring Romy Schneider, Alain Delon, Micheline Presle and Jean-Claude Brialy. It is an adaptation of Liebelei, a 1894 play by Arthur Schnitzler, which was already adapted into two films by Max Ophuls in 1933 (Liebelei and A Love Story).The story is set in Vienna in 1906. Franz (Delon) is a young sub-lieutenant who has a liaison with Lena (Presle), a married woman. He would like to break up with her, but does not dare to tell her. He meets Christine (Schneider), a young woman from a modest background and falls in love with her. He starts a relationship with her, but does not tell her about his affair with Lena.No relation with the novel of the same name by Stephen King, its film adaptation by John Carpenter (1983) or an unrelated 2016 film.
