Barry Lyndon

Redmond Barry is a rogue Irishman who is forced to leave England when he mistakenly believes he has killed the fiance of his paramour in a duel. Robbed of all his money, he enlists in the British army to fight in the Seven Years War in Europe. Eventually he deserts only to be discovered as a charlatan by the Prussian Captain Potzdorf, and forced to serve in the much harsher Prussian army. At the end of the war, the Prussian police minister gives Barry a position in the household of the Chevalier de Balibari, a conman and gambler, so that Barry can spy on him. Barry and the Chevalier get on famously, as both are Irish, and Barry becomes the pupil of the conman. In this company, Barry is admitted to the highest social circles in Europe. Directed by Stanley Kubrick and stars Ryan O'Neal, Marisa Berenson, Patrick Magee and Hardy Kruger.
