The Lovers in Time magazine
In their "5 Things You Should Know About" feature, Time magazine reviews Louis Malle's The Lovers: "This 1958 drama about a bored middle-aged wife's affair established Malle's reputation and made Jeanne Moreau an international icon of erotic wisdom. The sex scenes, tame by today's standards, triggered a legal fight decided in the movie's favor by the U.S. Supreme Court. It's still an elegant study of urgent amour in bed, bath and beyond."
