The weird thing about Ophuls is that because of his background, he started making films in Germany, then went to America, then ended up in France, so you have examples from all three phases that are probably equally good.

That's very neat. Also—

His stuff is very interior and psychological, too, comparatively; he's less interested in the corruption of the system than in the ways people lie to themselves and others.

—sounds great. The three films you mention are the ones I was already interested in for various reasons (stone classic status, presence of James Mason), so I shall let you know what I think when I get to them!
