This will probably be one of a flood. The story depicted is the legend of Orpheus and Euridice (both of which I've seen spelled a zillion different ways) and I'm almost certain that the Cocteau film was simply named "Orpheus". If you liked the story you should have a look at the intriguing retelling of it, "Black Orpheus" which has since shown up in a couple of "10 Favorite/Best" lists. As it is, I've never had a chance to see the Cocteau film - it's always been on my "must see" list but showings have always conflicted with other things I've had to do. Judging from other Cocteau work, I can well believe it would have a place on a "10 Best" list. Greg Paley Olivetti ATC, Cupertino, Ca.
