Rapture (French: La fleur de l'âge) is a 1965 drama film directed by John Guillermin, and starring Melvyn Douglas, Patricia Gozzi, and Dean Stockwell. It is reportedly Guillermin's own favorite among his films.[1] His widow Mary said it "was the only film he directed that wholly satisfied his vision as an artist."[2]
