- Synopsis:
- Arriving in Egypt, Darley (Michael York), a young Irish schoolmaster finds himself in the beautiful city of Alexandria, with massive houses, masked balls, extreme opulence, incredible poverty and adolescent prostitution. The society into which Darley naively enters is dominated by Justine (Anouk Aimée), an enchantingly beautiful Jew. Among Justine's numerous friends and lovers are Pursewarden (Dirk Bogarde), a British official obsessed with his blind sister Liza; Narouz, Justine's fanatic brother-in-law, and Toto, a homosexual. So begins a chain of interlocking relationships at the heart of which lies a treacherous conspiracy.

unimpressive format - Justine review by IM
The film is large and aspires to "epic" effect, but it's viewed with in a small square frame.
The story of the femme fatal stuck in an exotic location seemed cliched (how about Michael
York in "Cabaret" (based on Christopher isherwood as a naive English writer stranded in berlin with Sally Bowles and the Nazis
and that has a much stronger impact.
I'm afraid I didn't make it to the end, so I do'nt know how useful this is to you!
