Roger Ebert Chicago Sun-Times The Proprietor is an astoundingly bad movie. I could hardly believe my eyes. Or my ears, or my memory.

Audience Member The still gorgeous Jeanne Moreau. Only the screenplay wanted to deliver so much (even some political agenda) which made the flick diverse & unfocused. Rated 3 out of 5 stars 02/04/23 Full Review Read all reviews
