Eva

“They called her the 8th deadly sin!”

Tyvian Jones (Stanley Baker), a best-selling novelist living at his ease in Venice, wants one thing now, and it is Eva Olivier (Jeanne Moreau), a Frenchwoman he meets by chance. He is already engaged to Francesca Ferrara (Virna Lisi), but Eva cares about money more than she cares about him. Joseph Losey films Venice and its people slowly, in a cool, deliberate way, letting Tyvian's obsession tighten around him scene by scene.
