The Eternal Return (French: L'Éternel retour) is a 1943 French romantic drama film directed by Jean Delannoy and starring Madeleine Sologne and Jean Marais.[1] The screenplay was written by Jean Cocteau as a retelling of Tristan and Isolde set in contemporary France.[2][3] In the United Kingdom, the film was released in 1946 by Eagle-Lion Distributors under the alternative title Love Eternal.[4]
It was made at the Victorine Studios in Nice with sets designed by the art director Georges Wakhévitch. The film's costumes were by Georges Annenkov.

Well, that’s interesting to know that Psilotum nudum are known as whisk ferns. Psilotum nudum is the commoner species of the two. While the P. flaccidum is a rare species and is found in the tropical islands. Both the species are usually epiphytic in habit and grow upon tree ferns. These species may also be terrestrial and grow in humus or in the crevices of the rocks.
