View MoreTruly Dreadful Film
It is not only a funny movie, but it allows a great amount of joy for anyone who watches it.
View MoreIt's an amazing and heartbreaking story.
Karen Allen is the only reason to watch this otherwise awful movie. With the exception of "Eye of the Needle", Director Richard Marquand seemed unable to make good movies. I don't know why; he apparently was intelligent and well-educated. In spite of romantic fantasy, beautiful locations, and attention to details, the film builds from cliché. It never develops its narrative. This is not even a good soap opera.The French actor Thierry Lhermitte seems particularly wooden here, which is strange because he was excellent in "An American Werewolf in Paris", an excellent film. He cannot carry the role of a leading man. You keep waiting for someone worthy of Ms. Allen to show up. No one does.The score by John Barry sounds almost copied from classic French films. The score has a nostalgic sense that makes one think of good French cinema. The cinematography looks imitative of good French movies. Some of the images make you want to shout for something to emerge from the narrative. Even if Mr. Marquand ought to have been able to make an intelligent film, there is nothing intelligent or engaging about this mess. The only reason to watch this movie is to enjoy looking at Karen Allen's adorable smile. The high 2 I give this movie is because I had a crush on Ms. Allen back when she made this movie.
View MoreTrue, the setting in Paris is great. The actors are fine. The story is a twisted morality play. Is it supposed to say that if you want someone badly enough, it's OK to hurt everyone else along the way? In a real romance, you sort of want less cliché than the man who has become bored with his wife and is willing to dump his family, and the woman who is OK with encouraging him to do this. So what if they are decent looking and if Karen Allen shows off her body? The characters are still self-absorbed and reprehensible. Maybe the moral of the story is "you get what you deserve". I give it a 4, only for the fast scan potential through the "male interest" bits.
View MoreWhy this title is no long in print is beyond me. This is one of the great love stories. It was truly wonderful, with great direction and acting. So much so that you really feel you know the characters...and how often does that happen in a movie now-a-days. Although some may no have liked it due to the sex scene, I think the sex scene was well done and very real. But the best part was when Thierry Lhermitte was trying to find Karen Allen at the airport...I was right on the edge of my seat! I really what them to find each other. If anyone from MGM/UA ever reads this please bring the film out in DVD...PLEASE.
View MoreKaren Allen should have been a star. This film is proof. She handles an incredible range of material and emotions, from light soap opera to deeply passionate scenes. She also displays that beautiful body in some exquisite fully nude scenes (happy sigh).
