#Iwatched #BonjourTristesse (1958) and it was a mixed experience. #DavidNiven and #MylèneDemongeot are obviously seasoned actors but the main role is #JeanSeberg and she's tense and controlled, even when she's having fun. Not her fault, but still. The best part is how her close companionship with her father is portrayed. The book is an Electra fantasy for hedonists and watching Niven and Seberg recklessly pursue their pleasures is charming and hilarious. The moralistic ending is best ignored.

#Movies #Asian #Chinese #China
I'm watching #55DaysInPeking (again) after a long hiatus & it's just as annoying now as when I 1st watched it.
While it has it's moments, it's reflective of the patronizing & racist way in which the #US film industry has depicted China & the Chinese people for nearly 100 years.
It was a blockbuster movie when it was released in 1963 & stars #CharlestonHeston, #AvaGardner & #DavidNiven & is set during the #BoxerRebellion in China during 1899-1901 which was a grass roots attempt to oust foreign "invaders" from China.
While it failed, the Boxer Rebellion is believed to have contributed to the fall of the Manchu (Ching) Dynasty & the formation of the Kuomingtang (Chinese Nationalist Party) that later fell to the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) which then led to the formation of the #RepublicOfChina in Taiwan, which (of course) the CCP does NOT recognize & is just waiting to invade & retake in the name of China.
Worth watching in an historical film context but not otherwise.

3 things about Otto Preminger’s BONJOUR TRISTESSE [1958]
1. Deborah Kerr’s cashmere (?) car dress in ivory.
2. The patio at twilight. On the right, the group tanks up prior to their trip to the casino; on the left, the housemaid swigs a beer while standing behind the bar.
3. Subterranean powder room with an asymmetrical mirror.#3things #davidniven #deborahkerr #France #jeanseberg #movies #OttoPreminger #cinema

#tavoleseparate di #delbertmann L’inglese #TerenceRattigan (1911-1977) nel 1954 firma la commedia teatrale intimista #SeparateTables che riscuote subito un ottimo successo, anche nei teatri d’oltreoceano. Hollywood se ne interessa, visto poi il forte legame fra Rattigan e il cinema che lo ha portato a firmare già varie sceneggiature e non solo di adattamenti di sue... #unofilm #unocinema #film #cinema #burtlancaster #ritaheyworth #davidniven #deborahkerr #wendyhiller

Blake Edwards, Peter Sellers – Der rosarote Panther (1963)
Liebe GenX-Y-Z, ihr müsst jetzt stark sein. Denn über diesen Film, auch weil er noch älter ist, als ich selbst, haben viele Boomer:innen schon ihr ganzes Leben lachen können. Das erschließt sich heute nicht mehr allen. Ist der Film deshalb schlecht gealtert, oder haben wir einfach nur vergessen, wie und wo das, was wir heute modern „Comedy“ nennen, […]

this evening's viewing, a delightfully silly 1970s horror-comedy, Vampira (aka Old Dracula in the US).
It is *very* 70s, the racial elements (probably well meant then) have not aged well, but David Niven carries it along, there's a brace of well-known names from Fredie Jones to Bernard Breslaw, cheesy humour & music, but still has a certain daft charm, somehow
