It's full of misty romps in the meadows, rain-soaked windshields, assorted puppies and lambs, and a 'bittersweet' theme song that drones incessantly on the sound track.

Reviews for A Man and a Woman
Anouk Aimee has a mature beauty and an ability to project an inner quality that helps stave off the obvious banality of her character, and this goes too for the perceptive Jean-Louis Trintignant as the man.
Style is everything in Lelouch's romantic melodrama, one of the 1960s most popular international hits and the best date movie ever made, largely due to the music and chemistry between the glamorous Anouk Aimee and the sexy Trintignant, both at their peak
They seem two dimly sentient beings moved by memories of conventional affections and the compulsions of ordinary love.
Although bits of it will look hackneyed to current viewers, at the time it was sensationally sexy (and was a global smash hit) and it has retained an enjoyable sensuality and charm.
It gift-wraps the agonies and ecstasies of impish, beautiful people with kooky jobs and private pains in the shiny paper of gorgeously superficial imagery.
an interesting piece of film history... that's lost much of its luster
