Brief Plot
Paula Tessier (Ingrid Bergman) is a beautiful and highly successful 40-year-old interior designer who for the past five years has been the mistress of Roger Demarest (Yves Montand), a very charming "philandering business executive" who loves Paula but is too selfish to give up his freedom to be promiscuous. He refuses to stop seeing other women. When Paula meets Philip (Anthony Perkins), the 24-year-old immature lawyer son of one of her wealthy clients, he falls hopelessly in love with her and insists that the age difference will not matter. Paula resists the young man's advances, but finally succumbs when Roger initiates yet another affair with one of his young Maisies. While she is initially happy with Philip, her friends and business associates disapprove of the romance.

'Say No More It's Goodbye' Lyrics:
Sung by Dalida (Yolanda Cristina Gigliotti)
Another version sung by Diahann Carroll - here.
Say no more it's goodbye
As before it's goodbye
Every move, every sigh
Seems to prove it's goodbye again.
Say no more it's goodbye
As before it's goodbye.
I can tell, save the lie
It's farewell and goodbye again my love.
So why deny you will leave me
You have in the past
If it isn't the first time
It won't be the last.
Say no more it's goodbye
As before it's goodbye
Every move, every sigh
Seems to prove it's goodbye again.
Say no more it's goodbye
As before it's goodbye
It's my fate, this I know
I must wait 'til you say hello again.
