This is the first version of The Postman Always Rings Twice -- no, not
Ossessione; this version was made in France in 1939. No subtitles, but
it was interesting comparing this scene (the three together for the
first time) with the other versions.

Another scene:

Note the attempt to recreate the look of California's coast.

The male lead -- who doesn't come across quite right in the part to me
-- had earlier made a Hollywood comedy written by Norman Krasna... and
Groucho Marx!
