Steve D absolutely embarrassing. Rated 0.5/5 Stars •  Rated 0.5 out of 5 stars 01/01/24 Full Review Celtic R A great story about greed and fossil fuel. It's needed in the 21st century. In 1969, the Hollywood crowd bungled the production and the result was a dull movie. Maybe a group college or community actors will rediscover the play. Hope for the best. Rated 2.5/5 Stars •  Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars 09/06/23 Full Review Audience Member The outdoor cafe scene with Yul Brynner is the most memorable of this movie. Katharine Hepburn shines as the star, though this movie is mostly built on talky dialogue. Has a ton of big names in this movie, but if you sit through the whole thing, it’s actually a good movie. It just needs to be given a fair chance! Rated 3/5 Stars •  Rated 3 out of 5 stars 01/22/23 Full Review Frances H I saw this film many years ago, and did not really understand it, while finding it too like Theater of the Absurd. Viewing it now, I can appreciate its witty style and a message that is more apropos today than ever before. The star-studded cast is wonderful in this film that could probably not been written at any other time period, but is so relevant to what is going on in the United States today. I couldn't have picked a better time to re-view this flick. Danny Kaye in his last role alone is worth the watch. Rated 4.5/5 Stars •  Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars 06/15/17 Full Review Audience Member If you need to clean out a sewer you need to get your hands dirty. Countess Aurelia is rich and has a loyal following. She resides in Paris and is disturbed by the corrupt and evil behavior that plagues her people. She stands up against evil in her own way using her power, money, and influence. Will she be able to bring down the corrupt and evil men that plague her country or will she be seen as senile by her own people? "Say it before the song ends." Bryan Forbes, director of Better Late than Never, King Rat, The Wrong Box, The Naked Face, The Stepford Wives (1975), The L-Shaped Room, and Séance on a Wet Afternoon, delivers The Manwoman of Chaillot. The storyline for this picture is very interesting and has some worthwhile characters and interactions. The acting is awesome and the cast includes Katherine Hepburn, Yul Brynner, Donald Pleasence, John Gavin, Edith Evans, and Paul Henreid. "When you let someone go you never see them again." I came across this on cable and had to DVR it since it starred Katherine Hepburn (I'm a fan of hers). This was a great character for Hepburn to play (especially at her age in this movie, she delivered this character perfectly). Overall, this isn't a classic masterpiece, but it is worth seeing once. "I can assure you God is not a woman." Grade: B- Rated 3.5/5 Stars •  Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 01/19/23 Full Review s r Quite the cheesy buildup to get to the point of the all systems of government, religion and economy, that being greed. The talented cast puts the rulers on trial, finding them guilty of taking advantage of and choking the world. She then carries out the judgment. Danny Kaye surprised with his defense of the greedy. "the world is run by pimps! Not even a cabbage can't be sold without a pimp." (paraphrase) Rated 3/5 Stars •  Rated 3 out of 5 stars 03/31/23 Full Review Read all reviews
