Max & James & Danielle...

Legendary Director Max Ophuls and his Actors

This film concerns legendary director Max Ophuls, and two of his favorite actors, James Mason, and Danielle Darrieux. Mason and Darrieux were each in several Ophuls projects but were never together in an Ophuls movie, although they should have been. What might that movie have been like? It's anybody's guess-- but cinephiles can dream, can't they? This short film is somewhere between a historical essay and a speculative one.
