Deserves much higher than a 5.9 IMDB rating- I think the problem is with the source and not the material (very choppy to watch and poor sound)- a restored version of this movie would do it justice
Great Whodunit! Only needed a butler...just replace Henri Cassin with Hercule Poirot and you'd have one great Agatha Christie novel...and what's up with all the kyphosis in France?
Just to get this out of the way...1) Didn't the whistling in the first musical number sound an awful lot like 'Jingle Bells'? and 2) Isn't Mr. Ghosh (Rehman) the spitting image of Montgomery Clift?...ok, enough of the inane and mundane-what a FANTASTIC movie!!!! What didn't it have? More plot twists than the best film noir, enough laughs for any comedy (thank you Johnny Walker), musical numbers that could translate right into any Hollywood musical...sure some of it was corny and uncanny as if it were crafted into a can of corn but who cares? I'll tell you what this movie does have...a nice new comfy little spot right there in my all time top 10 favorite movies! ......don't worry 'To Kill A Mockingbird' I still love you best.....
The Doberman by far was the best actor in this film...but [SPOILER ALERT] why did they have to make the dog go over the cliff too?...would have been so much better if the new dog that Chick takes in at the end is the Doberman that killed Rand.
What a thought provoking movie.....such deep thoughts rumbling through my cranium like 'Doesn't Sigourney Weaver kind of look like Billy Joel from 'The Stranger' album? And why does Bill Paxton say 'man' after every line? Will the stereotypical black guy be the first one to die? Does that lady Vasquez actually have bigger arms than me? Shouldn't Paul Reiser be funny? Sorry but that's all I this movie provided me to think of to keep me distracted from the actual inane nonsensical farce that this movie has forever etched into my cinema canon...like the acid blood dripping from the alien decay, I am forever scarred.....
Just an addendum to MovingPictures comment: Notice the scene where Monty is beaten in the alley and has his ticket stolen, then suddenly Mellors and Blackie show up in the alley and find him SO- How did they know where he was and how did they get there so fast?!!!! You're right-I'm betting right there a scene was cut out in both versions we watched
Hmmm...middle-aged guy discovers he has a terminal illness and decides to break the law for a large amount of cash to set up his family for the future after he dies...can anyone say 'Breaking Bad'?
Also love the Dennis Hopper selfies taken on the pool table-so ahead of his time...
Be sure to watch the uncut blu-ray Criterion 2 hour and15 minute version and not the shortened 1 hour and 44 minute edited one- the longer version makes the movie far superior
