If you still think someone could not be invested by the modernity of this captivating gem from Lubitsch and his famous touch I have the Final proof.I showed this movie last week to my mother who came at my place without anyone inviting (eheh..I'm kidding..as well as she pays..she can come!!:P),she is reportedly ignorant about movies (especially GOOD movies) but she completely fell in love with this one.She stole my DVD and she told me she's gonna show it to all her friends,and I'm so angry that I'm not gonna see this scene cause I bet it's gonna be awfully funny."high-bourgeoisie housewives" vs Lubitsch,oh men,I wanna be there...:)))If they're gonna like it too,This movie could be definitely considered as a miracle:))))
This movie is really something.That could be just a scene to explain it:when Lermontov invites her at the castle where all the producers are to tell her the role is hers.It's such an exaggerated way to tell it!and then,why in the night?and in a castle?but the incredible elegance and the colors(that strange kinda of blue of the first Technicolor)make it so believable,it's not the dream that becomes true,but the opposite.Nothing to do with the usually musical,also because this is not a musical!All the dance number(2 maybe three)are all filled on a context(in the theater)so you don't feel like "what the hell are they doing now?"and they are directed in such a modern way(there's a relent too!)that makes you says like "Wow".It's wrong to call it a musical or a ballet movie,the ballet has here the role which usually as "the other man" in the romantic comedies.And what about the end?I'm not talking about the fall,but of the wax)any "Dramatic" plot will pay for that.
when someone can pass from "Sunset Boulevard" to "Sabrina" like that,he's not someone,he's Billy Wilder!Holden is Marvellous (how come no nomination?)his co star/lover Hepburn even more,Bogey is OK but once you know that his role was thought for Cary Grant can't make you stop thinking "what if.." But the result is anyway brilliant,definitely.I was very skeptic about love comedy but this movie made me understand how smart can a romantic movie be and how can easily be compared,in quality and in memorable quotes,with every movie,if it's well-done,as this one. Gossip corner:Holden left Audrey 'cause she told him she couldn't have baby.Bad move Bill,bad move.
