Core2Duoノートレビュー 's review (Not for Deneuve admirers) 『Deneuve is in a subdued role in this film. She's also in a supporting role so the film cover is a bit misleading. The story is not as strong as others that she's chosen.
Daniel Auteuil is great as the cop who is entangled in the life of a trouble-making young woman. Extremely sexy in this role, he plays the role of a strong yet conflicted law enforcer well.
The film is a bit weak in its flow. It's not the worst film but it's also not extremely good either.』
(The best French Deconstructivist Film) 『Les Voleurs is an excellently acted, directed, and written film. This is Auteuil's finest acting to date. Furthermore, the film is the best example of the use of deconstructivism in film making. Les Voleurs is the reason why I believe the French are still the best film makers today. Just a warning to younger viewers. Some scenes can be disturbing.』
(Auteuil-Deneuve combine in fascinating cop story.) 『Daniel Auteuil never ceases to amaze. This versatile actor ("Jean de Florette,""Un Coeur en Hiver") is never the same character more than once, it seems, which is what acting is about, I suppose. In"Thieves"he is a tough cop who is estranged from his family, a group of dedicated organized criminals. He is the black sheep. His brother is killed in an attempted heist, and this incident is the core of the story. He has fallen in love with Juliette (Laurence Côté), whose brother is a member of the family gang, and his life is torn apart. Catherine Deneuve actually has a small part in the story, but carries it off with her usual panache. An excellent cop story, French style.』 『Catherine Deneuve, Daniel Auteuil, and director André Téchiné collaborate for the second time (following their outstandingMy Favorite Season) in a powerful story about a Paris cop (Auteuil) who comes from a criminal family. When his father and brother are murdered, suspicion shifts to his lover (actress Laurence Côté), who then disappears. Auteuil's character reluctantly teams up with her lesbian girlfriend (Catherine Deneuve) both to find her and clear her name. The gripping story is told in a nonlinear series of overlapping chapters taking place before, during, and after the killing. Time bends and shifts, forcing the action to ripple through an ever-widening pool of neuroses and tragedy. The best part of the film, however, is the always- mesmerizing cold-fusion chemistry between Deneuve and Auteuil, two great actors who never wear their hearts on their sleeves.--Tom Keogh』

When Beth's good looking boyfriend suggests she get some experience and sleep with someone ugly-the uglier the better-Beth comes to the realization that her life is probably going to be one of continual disenchantment. She seeks solace in a man who might be like her idealized Rimbaud-a heart broken writer living in a sparse apartment-to no avail. She dumps her indifferent boyfriend who has now become incensed that his sexual object has spurned him. At her mother's insistence,"I've done worse things for you", Beth sleeps with Sugardad, a 65 year old "doctor" and her mother's lover-for the money to leave her existence behind. As her mother prosaicilly puts it before Beth leaves the apartment to go to the doctor's house, "You're no longer a child". One doubts Beth ever was.
Typical of French films, the story arc here is not strong and the references are subtle, so know what you are getting. This is not a loud American film. As Beth enters Sugardads apartment, she goes into his examination room and adjusts the examination table to prone position to suggest the sexual encounter that is about to happen. And though everyone says Beth is no longer a child, we watch as Beth dances on the carpet while waiting for Sugardad to answer a call, placing her feet toe to heel as if balancing on a curb she's trying not to fall off of. Sugardad's examination room is covered in cobwebs, but his phone is ringing off the hook-an allusion to the fact that her mother is a morphine addict and Sugardad her dealer.
The acting here is wonderful and the story charming. I enjoyed this film, but it isn't uplifting. However, it is a lighter and more beatiful version of the completely gutting "Lilya 4-Ever".』
(Bad Movie!) 『 This move was a complete waste of time and money! Talk about a build up to a let down ending... This movie is not erotic. In fact, it's not even entertaining. I thought the French were better at making this kind of movie... I guess not though.』
(AVOID THIS MOVIE) 『EROTIC NOT IN MY LIFE TIME, NUFF SAID』
(Parisian girl leaves adolescence behind) 『This is a charming little film made in the agreeable French tradition of Vadim, Techine, Kieslowski, et al, in which the film itself reflects the director's adoration for its pretty young star. In this case we have Director Benoît Jacquot adoring Judith Godrèche, who plays a poor but principled 17-year-old Parisian girl disenchanted with her life, in particular with the choices she has in males. Her boyfriend tells her she should sleep with somebody ugly. Just why isn't clear. He is referred to as "whatshisname."She meets an interesting man, Alphonse, played by Marchel Bozonnet, but he is too old for her and, at any rate, still enamored of another. And certainly she doesn't want her mother's lover, referred to as "Sugardad," who is in his sixties.
Godrèche herself is as natural and unself-conscience as a child. Dressed mostly in thin house dresses that cling lightly to her body, she displays the clear eyes, the clean jaw line and sculptured arms of youthful innocence. The camera adores her face and stays with her throughout. Clearly she is good and good to look at, but I would not say she is as enchanting as Krzysztof Kieslowski's Irène Jacob (La Double vie de Véronique (1991); Trois Couleurs: Rouge (1994)) nor as talented as Juliette Binoche in Andre Techine's Rendez-Vous (1985). And of course not nearly as sexy as BrigitteBardot in Roger Vadim's And God Created Woman (1957).
But comparisons are odious. This is a good film in its own right. The treatment suggests a short story from a literary journal, original, with quiet, unexpected tableaux of daily life leaving one to ponder. The climax appears without one's knowing it until the film begins the closing credits and then one understands what happened. There is a dark symbolic element throughout suggesting the bondage to the material world that comes when a girl is no longer a child.
Vietnamese-French actor Hai Truhong Tu is excellent in a small part as Godrèche's Chinese friend.』
『Judith Godreche (The Man In The Iron Mask, Ridicule) stars as Beth, an enchanting young Parisian girl whose boyfriend, in the middle of a petty argument, dares her to bed the ugliest man she can find, to test her love for him. What follows is more than a test of love; it is also one of courage and will. Three men cross her path: an older man whose mistress is Beth's invalid mother; a young, inexperienced boy her own age; and, finally, 40 year-old Alphonse, a handsome, mysterious stranger.
Taking a simple premise and a beautiful young woman, Benoit Jacquot has created a masterpiece of French cinema, capturing in full the talents of the young actress Judith Godreche and displaying beautifully his own innovative style.』

(The excellent night) 『Beautiful and cute Elke, I enjoyed the movies very much. But I am greatly disappointed to see that the most inportant scene of strip tease cut off,the picture on the movie's package. 』
(moderately interesting; less revealing than promised, but...) 『This performance, the last by Ms. Elke Sommer, supposedly before she did films outside of Europe, has a moderately interesting story, where Ms. Sommer plays a fashion model caught up in a murder and some intrigue in Europe. It has one brief, all too brief, scene, of some topless women and a brief bit of breast, and some bottom, shown by Ms. Sommer, which, I guess, for 1962, was pretty revealing, but less than promised. (...) She's cute, but not worth more than what I payed for it (...).』
(Not tonight...) 『The opening title sequence is cut in half--enough said. Not a good transfer. In my opinion, this is one of the worst film transfers my eyes have ever seen. Wait for another transfer of Daniella By Night to come out at some point, and then purchase it.』
(Daniella By Night) 『Stay Aaway from this movie!』 『Starring the original sex kitten Elke Sommer, DANIELLA BY NIGHT is Elke's last French film before beginning her American career. Daniella (Elke Sommer), a beautiful young French model, leaves for Rome with a contract from its leading fashion house. In no time she meets the finest of Roman society... and becomes embroiled in a murderous spy plot. DANIELLA BY NIGHT is notable for its famous nude scene of Elke, its climax atop the roof of the Musee d'Orsay, and a scintillating score by music great Charles Aznavour.』

Usually ships in 24 hours Core2Duoノートレビュー 's review (Bizarre, but passable thriller) 『Amazon says the film is in colour - I don't know whether this is a mistake, since this was filmed in black-and-white, or whether someone had the bright idea to colourize it.
This is a rather bizarre film, shot in Germany in English, but then redubbed (badly) by American actors. Oddly, then, Hammer horror stalwarts Christopher Lee and Thorley Walters, as Holmes and a very Nigel-Bruceian Watson, are seen but never heard. It has an incongruous, but extremely catchy jazz score by bandleader Martin Slavin.
The film has the look and feel of a 1930s picture, a Charlie Chan or Universal horror - perhaps not surprising, since the screenwriter was Universal veteran Curt Siodmak (The Wolf Man).
It is not what you would expect of Terence Fisher, one of the alltime greatest horror directors, and it is certainly no classic. I must confess, however, I actually enjoyed it, and would watch it again.
It did make me pine for what might have been if Lee had been given the chance to play Holmes in a better film.』
(Deadly "Necklace") 『Horror maestro Christopher Lee played Mycroft Holmes and Sir Henry Baskerville, but was hardly ever seen as the great Sherlock. That was in "Sherlock Holmes and the Deadly Necklace," a solid enough mystery with some very nice acting, beautiful sets... and really wretched dub work.
An informant of Sherlock Holms (Lee) totters up to his doorstep, and dies after gasping a cryptic message. Holmes and Watson (Thorley Walters) follow his message to the pub where Professor Moriarty (Hans Söhnker) is staying, and overhear Moriarty plotting a murder and a theft -- of an astounding necklace found in the tomb of Cleopatra.
They rush to a country estate to save the paranoid lord-of-the-manor, only to arrive too late -- the necklace is gone, and the man himself is dead. Now Holmes must infiltrate Moriarty's home to steal back the necklace, and get it to the auction before Moriarty can steal it back.
"Deadly Necklace" is definitely a mixed bag, as a Sherlock Holmes movie goes -- we have the basics of a Holmes movie, and some of them are really amazing. But often, it feels like Terence Fisher is directing on autopilot, leaving it to Christopher Lee to keep the movie afloat.
There are some wonderfully quick-moving subplots, such as the question of who shot the guy in the castle, buried clothes, and bloody footprints. Alas, many other parts of the movie are either plodding or confusing, which can be fatal to a mystery story. The park-bench scene with Moriarty and Holmes is a perfect example -- it feels like it was crammed in to take up some extra time. It really has nothing to do with the plot, and could have been cut without any effect.
Lee is a simply magnificent Holmes, and perhaps the best "one off" Holmes I've ever seen. He comes across as intelligent without having to work at it, and still tough enough to kick through an oak door. Thorley Walters makes a likably bumbly Watson, and provides a good thought-bouncer for Lee, but Söhnker makes a very hammy Moriarty. Not an ounce of menace, and the scene where he runs from Holmes is unintentionally funny.
And what about the infamous dubbing? Well, it's really bad. Lee's rich baritone is covered by someone who sounds like he's doing a Christopher Lee impersonation, sometimes sounding American (and when undercover, swishy). Even stranger, there's a hollow echo effect whenever anyone speaks. It sounds like the dubbing was done in a giant bathroom. As the final indignifty, they tack on a fluffy jazz soundtrack that doesn't match the setting.
There are some deep, intense flaws in "Sherlock Holmes and the Deadly Necklace," but even with a dubbed voice Christopher Lee carries the film with rare style. Watch for his performance, if no other reason.』
(defies explanation) 『i bought this based on the sherlock holmes interest i have had since a kid and also because christopher lee was in it..but its a real stinker,dubbed awfully,to the point that even christopher lee admitted that it wasnt his voice used in the end product! a total waste of money and time,save your pennies,badly done all round...even christopher lee's later tv reincarnation of sherlock holmes was much better,incident at victoria falls and another..』 『Legendary Baker Street sleuth Sherlock Holmes (Christopher Lee) takes on the evil Moriarty again when the mad doctor goes after a priceless necklace which once belonged to Cleopatra. Director Terence Fisher and star Lee had previously worked together in』
