마침내 총사가 된 달타냥(마이클 요크 분)은 삼총사인 아토스(올리버 리드 분)와 아라미스(리처드 챔벌레인, 분), 프로토스(프랭크 핀리 분)와 함께 사총사가 되어 국왕인 루이 13세의 명령으로 반란군들에게 사로잡힌 리슐리외(찰턴 헤스턴 분)의 심복 로쉬포르 백작을 구출한다. 밀라디(페이 더너웨이 분)는 콘스탄스를 납치한 뒤 달타냥을 유혹하는데... 밀라디는 원래 아토스가 예전에 사랑하던 여인이었으나, 사냥을 하던 날 우연히 밀라디의 왼쪽 어깨에 찍힌 죄인의 낙인인 백합 문신을 보고 밀라디를 죽였다고 믿고, 아토스는 줄곧 밀라디가 죽은 줄로만 알고 있었다. 달타냥을 유혹하려다 달타냥에게 백합 문신을 들킨 밀라디는 그때부터 달타냥을 죽이려 한다. 한편 리슐리외 추기경은 달타냥에게 자신의 근위대가 되어달라는 부탁을 하지만 달타냥은 추기경의 청을 거절하고, 그때부터 여러 번 살해될 위험에 처한다. 삼총사는 납치된 콘스탄스를 구출해서 안전한 수녀원으로 데려가고, 리슐리외 추기경은 밀라디에게 버킹엄 공작을 만나 반란군들을 돕기 위해 함대를 보내지 말라고 경고하고, 공작이 말을 듣지 않으면 살해하라고 지시한다. 추기경의 명령을 받은 밀라디는 대신 콘스탄스와 달타냥을 제거해달라고 부탁한 뒤 추기경의 서명이 담긴 편지를 받는다. 그러나 밀라디와 리슐리외 추기경의 대화를 엿들은 아토스는 밀라디에게 가서 추기경의 편지를 빼앗고 달타냥을 건드리지 말라고 경고한다. 영국으로 건너간 밀라디는 버킹엄 공작이 추기경의 경고를 무시하자, 공작을 암살하려다가 잡혀서 감옥에 갇히지만, 버킹엄 공작의 부하인 펠튼을 유혹해서 버킹엄 공작을 살해하게 만들고 펠튼의 도움으로 프랑스로 무사히 빠져 나와 달타냥과 콘스탄스를 죽일 계획을 세우는데....

Louis XIII
프랑스 루이 13세 시대, 추기경 리슐리외의 권세가 하늘을 찌르고 궁궐 안팎에서는 국왕의 친위대인 총사들과 리슐리외의 근위대 사이에 싸움이 끊이질 않았다. 작은 시골 마을에서 자란 달타냥은 어려서부터 아버지에게 검술을 배워 매우 민첩하고 용감하고 모험심이 강했지만 인내심이 부족해서 하루가 멀다 하고 실수를 저지르는 사고뭉치 젊은이였다. 달타냥은 20세가 되던 해에 총사대에 들어가기 위해 총사대의 트레빌 대장을 만나러 파리로 가서 삼총사인 포르토스와 아라미스, 아토스를 만나고, 여관 주인의 아내인 콘스탄스에게 첫눈에 반한다. 한편 왕비를 사랑하던 버킹엄 공작은 몰래 궁전으로 잠입해서 왕비를 만나 사랑의 증표로 12개의 다이아몬드가 달린 목걸이를 받아간다. 이 사실을 알게 된 리슐리외 추기경은 밀레이디 드 윈터에게 버킹엄 공작을 유혹해서 12개의 다이아몬드 중에서 2개를 훔쳐 오라고 지시한다. 게다가 루이 13세는 왕비에게 자신이 선물로 준 다이아몬드 목걸이를 하고 무도회 때 함께 춤을 추자고 한다. 곧, 왕비의 하녀인 콘스탄스는 달타냥에게 왕비의 친서를 가지고 영국의 버킹엄 공작에게 가서 다이아몬드 목걸이를 받아오라고 부탁한다. 달타냥은 삼총사와 함께 왕비의 친서를 가지고 영국으로 길을 떠나지만, 곳곳에서 잠복 중인 리슐리외 추기경의 부하들을 만나 삼총사들 모두 부상을 입어 달타냥 혼자 버킹엄 공작을 찾아간다. 추기경의 스파이인 밀레이디 드윈터 부인이 이미 다이아몬드 2개를 훔쳐간 사실을 안 버킹엄 공작은 급히 똑같은 다이아몬드를 만들어서 달타냥에게 준다. 다이아몬드 목걸이와 함께 칼을 선물로 받은 달타냥은 무사히 프랑스로 돌아오고, 삼총사의 도움으로 추기경의 부하들을 물리친 뒤, 애타게 기다리던 왕비에게 목걸이를 전해준다. 그리고 왕비를 위기에서 구해준 달타냥은 삼총사의 축하를 받으며 국왕의 친위대인 총사가 된다.

French Colonel
Satire about the First World War based on a stage musical of the same name, portraying the "Game of War" and focusing mainly on the members of one family (last name Smith) who go off to war. Much of the action in the movie revolves around the words of the marching songs of the soldiers, and many scenes portray some of the more famous (and infamous) incidents of the war, including the assassination of Duke Ferdinand, the Christmas meeting between British and German soldiers in no-mans-land, and the wiping out by their own side of a force of Irish soldiers newly arrived at the front, after successfully capturing a ridge that had been contested for some time.

Narrator (French version) (voice)
French director Frederic Rossif presents this historical documentary that coincided with the 50th anniversary of the Russian Revolution. Stock footage from both World Wars are included with 30 minutes of new scenes filmed especially for the project. The historical timeline is traced from the time Czar Nicholas II is crowned. The emergence of Lenin, his death in 1924, and the later contributions of Trotsky and Stalin give the viewer a sense of death, betrayal, and ideological devotion to the communist agenda. Rossif effectively uses scenes from the landmark 1929 film The Man With A Movie Camera by celebrated director Dziga Vertov. Rossif researched the film archives from several countries in his meticulous gathering of materials for this timely historical feature.

Will Gérard prevent François from becoming the worthy successor to their father or will the two young men decide to join forces? That is the question.
Caporal
2차 대전 중 독일의 포로수용소에 수감된 프랑스 군인의 탈출을 다룬 영화. 전쟁포로의 탈출이라는 소재가 "위대한 환상"과 비슷하지만 영화의 주제는 억압에 대한 저항에 초점을 맞추고 있다. 르누아르는 영화의 배경보다 인물을 중요하게 생각했기 때문에 수용소에 갇힌 각 인물들의 개성과 내면의 표현에 세심하게 신경을 썼다. 뉴스릴 필름이 포함된 흑백 촬영은 ‘탈출기’라는 맥락을 강조하며 영화에 사실성을 더한다. 브레송의 조감독 출신인 기 르프랑이 각색과 감독에 공동 참여하였다.
Raymond

Raymond (segment "L'avarice")
Seven directors each dramatize one of the seven deadly sins in a short film. In "Anger," a domestic argument over a fly in the Sunday soup escalates into nuclear war. In "Sloth," a movie star would rather pay someone to tie his shoe than bend over to do it himself, and he can't be bothered to accept a starlet's sexual favors. In "Gluttony," a peasant family on its way to the funeral of a relative who died from indigestion stops regularly to eat and drink en route, arriving in time to eat some more. In "Greed," a high-class prostitute refunds the price of a cadet's lottery ticket. In "Pride," an unfaithful wife finds reason to reform. And so on through lust and envy.

"Le Tambourin", a Montmartre nightclub, is on its way down. Although it can boast great performances by the alluring Les Bluebell Girls and by Jacques Hélian's lively Big Band the venue does not attract people anymore.

This year his main income comes from arranging 'marriages of convenience' ("when was marriage ever convenient??" - Alphonse) to help new immigrants fast-track to Australian residency and citizenship.
