5.0 out of 5 stars At last -a copy of Autant-Lara's masterpiece., February 22, 2008

This review is from: Devil In The Flesh: 1946 (France) (DVD)

I have been looking for a copy of this movie since VHS and DVDs were invented!It is a nice copy in a reasonable transfer. Only fly in the ointment is that it is dubbed-HOWEVER it is one of the most sympathetic examples of this "process" and was supervised by the director himself with Micheline Presle dubbing her own performance into English.Fans of Tati be warned--he was a friend of the director and played a tiny "guest" role---but don't let that stop you from buying this wonderful film-Presle and Gerard Phillipe give career-best performances.Take my advice and take advantage of this rarity--if you love great films ,you wont regret it!Oh and don't bother with the recent soft-porn version of this title.

I am still looking for a DVD or even video of the original French version of this wonderful film that I first saw in 1947(when I was 18) at the Continental cinema in London. I do have a video of it but to my disappointment it is a copy and dubbed in English with American accents. It did not completely ruin the film for me but I find myself anxious to see the original before my time is up (I did say I saw it in 1947 ... )

This review is from: Devil In The Flesh: 1946 (France) (DVD)

This is one of the great romantic films, easily comparable with other forties classics like "Brief Encounter" and "Letter from an Unknown Woman". The great Gérard Philipe was never more memorable than here, conveying the first love of a 17-year old schoolboy to perfection - all the emotions fresh, uncalculated and sometimes terrifyingly violent. Micheline Presle is equally perfect as the young woman, marrying the wrong man for the best reasons, caught in an impossible situation as heady romance traps the lovers in more and more lies. The film producers deserve credit for not compromising the final bleak reality too much.
