There's no question that these DVDs are bootlegs, most likely from a poor 
telecine of a 16mm print. QUATRE NUITS D'UN REVEUR has never been released 
officially released on video anywhere in the world. Together with UNE FEMME 
DOUCE, it's one of the two Bresson films which is completely MIA on DVD. But at 
least UNE FEMME DOUCE saw a decent VHS release by New Yorker; QUATRE NUITS 
didn't even get that.

Good to know that it's undergoing a restoration in Italy!

Dear Rhonda,

Right now, I believe those are all bootleg. The film was being restored in
Italy last I heard.

Wrong title. It is Mr. & Mrs. LOVING. I think it may have been released.
Kind of big TV movie.

Ok checked Amazon. Released on VHS . Out of print but used legit copies are
not that expensive. Hopefully you still have some VHS players left.
