Six Moral Tales is a cycle of films by Eric Rohmer.
The first, La boulangère de Monceau lasts 23 minutes, the second, La Carrière de Suzanne 55 minutes, and the rest are feature-length. Each tale follows the same basic story, inspired by F. W. Murnau's Sunrise — a man, married or otherwise committed to a woman, is tempted by a second woman, but resists the temptation. It was the third in the series (but the fourth to be filmed), Ma nuit chez Maud (1969) that brought international recognition. The following film, Le genou de Claire, secured that recognition.
