Taking advantage of its four lead actors’ multilingual abilities, LA PISCINE was shot simultaneously in French and English near Saint-Tropez, France, from August to October 1968. Presented here is the slightly shorter English-language version of the film, THE SWIMMING POOL: “FIRST LOVE NEVER DIES”—released outside of France in 1969. For it, director Jacques Deray made his edits based on performances, rather than doing a shot-by-shot re-creation of the French version.
