In Search Of The Castaways
»rank: 10799
Chroniques et points de vue:From : ln Search of the Castaways was Hayley Mills's third feature for Disney, an agreeable adventure--loosely based on a Jules Verne story--with enough derring-do to make kids happy and with the right touch of self-conscious silliness to keep adults smiling. Mills plays Mary Grant, a missing freighter captain's daughter convinced her father is still alive somewhere in Earth's southern hemisphere. With the help of her brother (Keith Hamshire) and a veteran seaman (an extremely unlikely if charming Maurice Chevalier), Mary convinces a shipping magnate, Lord Glenarvan (Wilfrid Hyde-White), to ...

Gigi

Chroniques et points de vue:From Amazon.co.uk:Vincente Minnelli's 1958 adaptation of Colette's story about a girl (Leslie Caron) groomed as a courtesan--but desired as a wife by a Parisian playboy (Louis Jordan)--won a lot of 0scars, but it also has the unusual distinction of being an MGM musical shot on location in the City of Lights. What a musical it is (by Lerner and Loewe): Maurice Chevalier and Hermione Gingold crooning 'Ah, Yes, l Remember lt Well', plus the songs 'Thank Heaven for Little Girls', 'Gigi', 'l'm a Bore', and 'She's Not Thinking of Me'. ...

Love in the Afternoon
»rank: 3722
Chroniques et points de vue:From :Fairy-tale Paris doesn't get more enchanting than Billy Wilder's Love in the Afternoon, an ode to picnics on the grass and champagne at the Ritz. Audrey Hepburn (who had already made Sabrina with Wilder) is at her best as the inexperienced cellist with a fascination for millionaire American playboy Gary Cooper. Maurice Chevalier (who else?) is Hepburn's father, a private detective with ample evidence of Cooper's crowded history of l'amour. Alongside the sheen of the romance is Wilder's unerring sense of craftsmanship; watch how inanimate objects such as a ...

Fanny
»rank: 15061
Chroniques et points de vue: Essential Video:Marcel Pagnol's Marseilles Trilogy was adapted into a Broadway musical in the mid-'50s; a few years later, that show's producer, Joshua Logan, turned it into a film... without the songs. Although it pales in comparison to the French trilogy, Fanny captures the original's bittersweet mix of romance and regret. Curiously, it retains the slightly stagy quality of an adapted musical. Charles Boyer and Maurice Chevalier revel in their juicy autumnal roles, and--thanks to Logan's fondness for rapturous close-ups--Leslie Caron never looked more beautiful. Harold Rome's Broadway score plays ...
