Summary
Based on Guy de Maupassant's classic novel, this tale of temptation and obsession chronicles Georges Duroy's rise to power from his meager beginnings as a penniless ex-soldier by using the city's most influential and wealthy women. Set in turn-of-the-century Paris, Duroy seduces Madame de Marelle then marries a former comrade's wife, Madeleine Forrestier. Fueled by his insatiable quest of lustful greed, Duroy conquers Madame Walter, only to learn that every conquest is marred by betrayal and true love eludes him
