Mark Loring is madly jealous of his wife, Mary, former American cabaret singer. Due to an automobile accident, she loses her unborn child, and Mark becomes sterile. His father, Brit-stuffy Sir John Loring, has never approved of the marriage and, again, tries to break it up. Believing that a child will hold the marriage together, Mary suggests artificial insemination to Mark, who finally agrees to accompany her to a clinic in Switzerland. However, when she is again pregnant, Mark finds it impossible to reconcile himself to the situation and leaves her. Prompted by his father, Mark sues for divorce, accusing her of adultery. She contests the divorce and a trial concerns itself with whether or not artificial insemination is a question of adultery. The Catholic Church's National League of Decency placed this film on its Condemned" list.

O Urso
Poucos filmes conseguiram captar tão bem a verdadeira essência da vida selvagem como O Urso de Jean-Jacques Annaud. Foram quase quatro anos de filmagens, para obter o que o diretor chama de ponto de vista dos animais. O personagem central da história chama-se Youk, um precoce ursinho que, ao ficar órfão, tem de aprender a sobreviver num mundo hostil. Dois caçadores, Tom(Tchéky Karyo) e Bill (Jack Wallace), matam a mãe do pequeno Youk e fazem o animal suportar as agruras da floresta e a fazer face aos perigos que o rodeiam. Mas ele também encontra Kaar, um grande urso solitário que, contra todas a expectativas, ajuda Youk a enfrentar seus piores e mais mortíferos inimigos: os dois caçadores. O Urso ganhou o César de Melhor Filme Francês em 1988 e foi indicado para o Oscar de Melhor Montagem.
