The political issues raised in Greece in 1936 under Metaxas set in motion the meeting of Margot and Boutros but this is not primarily a film about politics. The complaint that the political side is skimmed over seems misplaced here. At the same time Margot is not insensitive and her final scene with Rico is very moving. The passionate love affair is heartfelt and completely believable.

But with great charm and courage he protects both his wife and Boutros. She is married to Rico, Italian diplomat, who has somehow lost interest in her. Romy Schneider plays Margot and she has never been more beautiful. The script is quite brilliant and allows the radical Boutros (Victor Lanoux) to have great verbal political skirmishes with Raoul Malfosse (Philippe Noiret) that are very engaging. A Woman at Her Window is I believe one of the greatest films of all time.īoring? Hardly. I am stimulated to write this review because the review of May 16, 2012, expresses opinions exactly opposite to mine. Reviewed by Richard Hobby 10 / 10 a truly great film The film briefly jumps to 1945 when Rico and Raoul (who assisted her out of love) meet in France to talk about her fate, and then jumps 30 years to Margot's daughter's visit to Greece to find out about her father. Margot is bored and without purpose: aiding Boutros's escape invigorates her, and soon she is in love. Boutros narrowly escapes and, early the next morning, jumps through the window of Marchese Margot Santorini, the wealthy Austrian-born wife of Rico, a penniless Italian diplomat and playboy. A union leader using the name Boutros is sought in Athens by Primoukis, a ruthless police leader.

On August 4, 1936, General Metaxas declared martial law in Greece.
