directed by Louis
Malle
France / Italy 1965
|
Director Louis Malle and co-writer Jean-Claude Carriere satirizes everything from American westerns to revolutions, dictators, the Church, priesthood and even sex itself! When two women – both named Maria – unwittingly invent the striptease circa 1910, they become such a hit that enthusiastic audiences strip along with them! But when one of the Marias falls for a handsome revolutionary (George Hamilton), she finds that she has unwittingly embroiled the two of them in an armed peasant revolt! |

NOTE: These Blu-ray captures were taken directly from the Blu-ray disc.
ADDITION: Kino Lorber - Region 'A' - Blu-ray (November 14'): Everything seems superior - to varying degrees - over the old DVD. There is a shade more information visible in the top of the frame and the HD shows some pleasing depth. This is single-layered with a modest bitrate but the 1080P looked quite good in-motion. Audio gets the lossless treatment and generally advances sounding crisper and tighter. There are optional English subtitles (the dialogue IS French) and the disc is region 'A'-locked. Only a trailer as an extra. This is a very entertaining film. I really enjoyed revisiting it and the brighter colors and better resolution helped with my appreciation.***
ON THE DVD: A little better
than average fare from lackluster MGM.
Sharpness is not
bad, skin tones seem a trifle red, contrast is acceptable. Original
audio and pleasant subtitles make for a decent buy at around $12. Quite
an interesting film, if the comedy is somewhat dated. Yes, we endorse as
a decent buy. Many will love the Brigitte Bardot and Jeanne Moreau
team-up.
