Paul (Marlon Brando), a middle-aged American living in emotional exile, comes to Paris when his estranged wife commits suicide. After meeting a young French woman named Jeanne (Maria Schneider), Paul enters into an anonymous, sexual relationship with her.

Programming Note: Last Tango in Paris has a controversial history, particularly in the wake of actress Maria Schneider’s revelation that a sexually humiliating scene was conceived off-script by director Bernardo Bertolucci and actor Marlon Brando without her having been informed in advance.
