		Released in Paris in 1950, LA RONDE, though quickly hailed as one of Max Ophuls' greatest achievements, was kept from US shores for four years thanks to a judgment of "immoral" by the New York State censorship board.
		One of four masterworks Ophuls dashed off in the 1950s before his untimely death, LA RONDE explores his recurrent obsession with circles to dizzying effect.
		Originally Ophuls had planned to adapt a novel by Balzac with Greta Garbo in a lead role, but instead he turned his attentions to the heralded Arthur Schnitzler play, which in his hands emphasized the follies of love over the concerns about syphillis the play explored.

	Thornton, Graham red hot in the Blue Room - theage.com.au
		This David Hare adaption of a banned 19th-century play, and a 1950 movie version (La Ronde), focuses the attention on the nature of desire, the longing for intimacy, the search for love and the uses of sex.
		For all the genuine power of their acting performances I suspect Thornton and Graham will be forever remembered as starring in "the sex play".
		We actually see much more of Marcus Graham sans clothes and he's as easy on the eyes as Sigrid Thornton.

	Self-referential movies: La Ronde
		The presence of this world-wise director-surrogate, along with numerous other endistancing devices, reminds us that this movie is not a "filming" of Schnitzler's "La Ronde" (which would be an absurd project in a ruined, post-Hitler Europe).
		The movie, like the play, follows a series of couples as they meet, make love, and separate.
		Ophuls has unearthed a relic of vanished Vienna and presents it to us an artifact-with-commentary, the central exhibit in his own, quite non-Schnitzlerian meditation on romance, disillusionment, and the passage of time.

		Ophüls had plans, in 1950, to do a film based on a Balzac novel and starring Greta Garbo, but was distracted from that project by the notion of adapting an acclaimed play by Arthur Schnitzler, La Ronde.

	Hippodrome State Theatre: The Blue Room: Reviews
		In "La Ronde," Schnitzler lays bare a circular series of sexual sketches which brings characters together in a tangled web.
		Today's "Blue Room" is David Hare's sex-charged adaptation of Arthur Schnitzler's "La Ronde," which scandalized the public in its original 1921 version.
		I was bloody randy before the show even started the show being "The Blue Room," David Hare's sexy, modern-day adaptation of Arthur Schnitzler's "La Ronde," an 1896 commentary on sexual relations behind closed doors.

	Sidewalks of New York Movie Review at Hollywood Video
		The film's immodest production notes liken it to La Ronde, Max Ophuls' elegant, episodic 1950 costume comedy of interconnected lovers.
		Tommy works for the sleazy Carpo (an exuberant Dennis Farina, in the movie's best performance), who bucks up his recently heartbroken protégé with exhortations like, "Do you want to sit up on the porch with the pup, or play around in the yard with the big dog?"
		Instead, there he is, front and center, as Tommy Riley, producer of an Entertainment Tonight-like TV show.

		La Ronde is about love and sex, partly bitter and partly sweet, partly an affair of individual feelings and partly a public dance, a ronde, or round dance.
		Max Ophuls, in La Ronde, has created a film that is the essence of this point of view.
		A play shows it to you live, before your very eyes, in real time.

	The Austin Chronicle Arts: Long Fringe @ the Off Center
		In La Ronde, playwright Arthur Schnitzler captured the sexual dance of couples, jumping from partner to partner, in a form that has entranced and entertained audiences for decades.
		David Hare spawned a Broadway sensation last year with his modern variation on Arthur Schnitzler's La Ronde, and while most of that may have owed to the spectacle of Nicole Kidman in the buff, Hare still managed to prove that there's a lot of dramatic fire left in the sexual dance of couples.
		Director Maria Aladren (Pegasus51/Theatre) sets the play in Buenos Aires and uses the tango to interlace the daisy chain of sexual liaisons.

	Amazon.com: Video: La Ronde (1954)
		Set in half-lit, turn-of-the-century Viennese interiors, La Ronde is an elaborate satire on sexual behavior, a panoramic display of illicit love in old Vienna that comments on the futility of transitory relationships in which the deceivers are always deceived.
		The exquisite circularity of the roundelay has always been an attractive cinematic device, but never has it been used with more delicacy and canny insight than in La Ronde, Max Ophüls's adaptation of the Arthur Schnitzler play Reigen.
		"La Ronde" is replete with camera angles reminiscent of "Citizen Kane." There is a fantastic overhead shot of a young courtesan whose head is in the center of hanging light fixture-or chandelier.

	Voltage flickers in 'Power Failure'
		This 1990 comedy from the co-creator of the television series MASH is itself an update on Arthur Schnitzler's 1900 play* La Ronde - which was notorious for its time.
		While the themes of the play are probably as relevant today as ever, there are early '90s references (William Casey, King Hussein, Ferdinand Marcos) that date it - a danger for satire.
		In New Edgecliff Theatre's production of Power Failure, director Elizabeth A. Harris and her cast understand Gelbart's emphasis on the corrupting nature of power in our society and how sex can be viewed as both an outlet and a metaphor for this corruption.

	Japan Times: Going full circle for sex and romance
		It wasn't until 1950 that the play finally broke the chains of censorship, when French director Max Ophls made it into the hit movie "La Ronde" -- so called because it depicts a game of sexual roundelay, in which a single pair of actors in changing roles play out a sequence of encounters.
		Several decades later, renowned British dramatist David Hare duly took up the challenge, embroidering Schnitzler's rich cloth to create "The Blue Room." With Sam Mendes (yet to win his directorial Oscar for "American Beauty") at the helm, and starring Nicole Kidman, this version became a box-office sensation during its short season in London in 1998.
		When, in 1921, Schnitzler finally decided to go ahead with a staging, the premiere in Vienna ended prematurely when police brought down the curtain.

		Margaret Schaefer and Jonathan Bank have written the new translation of the work, which premiered in 1904, seven years before Far and Wide, and four years after Schnitzler's most famous play, La Ronde.
		According to the Mint, the play has never been seen in New York and was only produced once in the U.S., a 1931 Theater Guild production which tried out in Baltimore and Washington, but stalled when the leading man broke his leg.
		"Schnitzler is a playwright who deserves the attention of anyone serious about the modern theater."

	The Blue Room starring Tracy Shaw and Jason Connery
		When Arthur Schnitzler’s La Ronde, from which this play was adapted, premiered in Vienna in 1921 the play was closed down by the police, and the actors in its first Berlin production the same year had to endure a six-day trial on charges of obscenity.
		The Blue Room follows a chain of sexual encounters between an intriguingly diverse selection of characters – a prostitute and a cab driver, a politician and a model, an actress and an aristocrat – and the journey that they take, individually and collectively, in their relationships, whether relationships of love or lust.
		The Blue Room caused a sensation when it opened to great critical acclaim at the Donmar in 1998, where it starred Nicole Kidman and was directed by Sam Mendes.
