It's routine but smooth and elegant, thanks to the perfect casting of the icy Delon. There's some smart dialog and some honest interaction going on here, but modern multiplexers will probably find it tedious and much too lifelike for their tastes. Still, for the sophisticated, it's worth a look.

Alain Delon and Sydne Rome (as Creezy) star in this film. You also have Jeanne Moreau in a supporting role. Because of this stellar cast, you'd expect more from this film. Instead, however, the film is amazingly unmoving and uninteresting.

Delon plays a famous French politician who has aspirations of a cabinet appointment. He has a mistress named 'Creezy' and they have a VERY active sex life (and you see a lot of the gorgeous Rome). She poses a bit of a problem, however, as Delon is so devoted to his work that he really doesn't have time for her. Another problem is that his image is of a family man--but he really doesn't have time for them either. Again and again throughout the film, they make love and then fight because he doesn't have time to stay. Eventually, she's had enough.

The main problem with the movie is that it's hard to like the characters. Delon is a cold and selfish man. Creezy is sleeping with a married man. And, to top it all off, their characters really have no depth at all and you know very, very little about them--especially Creezy. Other than loving him, looking hot and being a model, you really know very little more about her. All in all a curiously unengaging film--one that left me feeling quite flat.

"Creezy" - or should I say, "L'arrivista", "La race des seigneurs", or whatever else they decided to call this marketing disaster has a mess of a plot, where Alain Delon plays Julien Dandieu, a politician so dripping in cynicism that you almost expect him to twirl a mustache while plotting his rise to power. And, of course, what's a powerful man without a predictable dalliance with a model? Enter Creezy, a character whose name alone might make you want to double-check if this is a political drama or a bizarre horror flick.

Sydne Rome gives a performance that can best be described as "barely adequate," which is a bit like calling a house fire "slightly warm." If you're watching the Italian version, you get the added bonus of her being dubbed with a voice so nasal and childlike that you'll be wondering if the casting director lost a bet.

The movie had all the potential to be a saucy, scandalous political drama, but the editors decided to grace us with a choppy mess that's about as thrilling as watching paint dry. The film flits between Julien's "busy" day, where he meets an endless parade of political players and his constant, tedious obsession with the titular Creezy. This obsession is expressed through approximately a billion flashbacks that do nothing to make you care about their lust-driven, originality-free "love" story. By the tenth flashback, you might start rooting for the fast-forward button.

And don't get your hopes up when you see Jeanne Moreau in the credits. Yes, the legendary Jeanne Moreau is in this film, but her role is so secondary and irrelevant that you'll forget she's even there. Remember, even the greatest actors occasionally have bills to pay, which explains her unfortunate presence in this cinematic misfire.

Now, for the pièce de résistance: the flashbacks. If you've ever dreamed of watching Alain Delon and Sydne Rome listen to a tour guide drone on about Roman ruins, or maybe you're dying to hear about wage and pension claims in the middle of your political drama, well, have I got the movie for you!

Finally, a side note: who, in their infinite wisdom, thought naming a character "Creezy" was a stroke of genius? And why were Paris's streets plastered with Creezy posters in varying states of undress? Was every other model in France on holiday?

So, if you're eager to explore Alain Delon's filmography, do yourself a favor - skip this one.

I watched "Creezy" to see Alain Delon, whom I love. I am so disappointed in this movie.

Delon plays Julien Dandieu, leader of a socialist political party in France called PRU. He is asked to become Minister of Foreign Affairs for the new government.

Dandieu is very ambitious, but he has a few personal problems. His entire life has consisted of him climbing the ladder to success, and it's all set up for him to make it to the top. He is married to a wealthy woman and has a teenage son.

But Julien is in love with a model named Creezy (Sydne Rome), who is nude during a good part of the movie. He's somewhat obsessed with her, but she feels neglected due to his political duties. Nor does he have time for his wife and child.

His political adviser is played by Jeanne Moreau. She tells him that Creezy is going to ruin his reputation and his political ambitions. His choice comes down to career or running off with Creezy.

What a bore. I was completely uninvolved with this movie, and I didn't like the characters. I didn't care what either one of them did. Since the novel didn't get great reviews, I'm surprised this was made into a film.

I'll watch Alain Delon read a phone book. The fact that I didn't even want to finish this film says something. It says bad movie, total detachment from the characters, and a bad script.
