Product Description

Product description

When a famous French aviator is unable to attend a social gathering, his business partners hire an entertainer who closely resembles him to take his place.
Genre: Musicals
Rating: NR
Release Date: 22-MAY-2007
Media Type: DVD

Just as Love Affair inspired An Affair to Remember and Sleepless in Seattle, Folies Bergère inspired That Night in Rio and On the Riviera. In Walter Lang's Technicolor version, Danny Kaye takes on a dual role previously assumed by Maurice Chevalier and Don Ameche. A master of mistaken identity, Kaye makes it his own. His Jack Martin is an American song and dance man based in Monte Carlo. When playboy aviator Henri Duran (Kaye with French accent) returns from his latest adventure, Martin notices a resemblance. He also notices Duran's neglected wife, Lili (Gene Tierney). After Duran is called away on business, Martin is enlisted to impersonate him for an important function. That gives him the chance to cozy up to Lili--and infuriate dance partner Colette (Corinne Calvet). Duran pays him back with an impersonation of his own. It isn't Twelfth Night, but On the Riviera is an enjoyable diversion. It also represents a family affair, since designer Oleg Cassini outfitted wife Tierney and Sylvia Fine penned tunes for husband Kaye (except for the standard "Ballin' the Jack"). Though considered a minor effort in the canons of Lang and Kaye--the musical was more of an audience favorite than a critical darling--Fox has done right by this long-unavailable title with an interactive press book, featurettes, lobby cards, and a pristine print (heavy on the brilliant blues). Look sharp for future Fosse hoofer (and wife) Gwen Verdon as a dancer and Tierney's famous Laura portrait above Duran's fireplace. --Kathleen C. Fennessy

On the Riviera 20th Centry Fox DVD

Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on October 29, 2013

Verified Purchase

What more can be said about Danny Kaye? So many reviewers have stated that he is one the most underrated actors of all time. I had no idea that he was so underrated until I started looking for his films on DVD. WHAT'S THE DAEL? REALLY? They're either out of print or not available, I don't get it. I grew up watching his old films on TV and have a lot of them still on VHS, and decided it was time to start getting the DVDs. He's one of (if not thee) greatest talents in film history. I read an article this year that stated his daughter was excited about all of his films being released... where are they? "On The Riviera" is top-notch, some have said that it is uneven, I disagree, it's great all the way through. Gene Tierney is excellent and beautiful as she always is (look for her portrait from "Laura" hanging in the house) and the whole cast is strong and funny. Danny is absolutely suave in this double-role and his timing is as always perfect. This DVD has a clear picture and the sound is clean (I'm not a print quality maniac, but it looks very good to me.) The extras are really awesome and worth watching, pick this DVD up before they discontinue it as well!

Excellent performances!

Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on December 18, 2019

I loved this movie! Gorgeous costumes and the scenery was beautiful. I gave it 4 stars because the storyline was not as interesting as it should have been. Still worth seeing though. Danny Kaye really went all out playing dual roles. Gene Tierney, as always looked fabulous and gave a great performance. But, performers can be only as good as the storyline. The writers should have put more effort into this.

A subtle comic turn from Danny Kaye

Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on November 12, 2011

Verified Purchase

1951's "On The Riviera" is a classy affair for the talented Danny Kaye, albeit, a slightly more somber one. Filmed twice before (with Maurice Chevalier and Don Ameche in the lead), Kaye does a fine job as a nightclub entertainer who bares a strong resemblance to a dashing French aviator (also Kaye, of course), and is eventually tapped to impersonate him for an important function. This gives the entertainer the chance to get to know the cavalier aviator's rather neglected wife (Gene Tierney).
As usual, there are some pleasing musical moments from Kaye (his wife Sylvia Fine composed once again). However, being more sophisticated & subtle, Kaye has to play it semi-serious, so this one might not appeal to all viewers, although it's still an extremely pleasant film.
The DVD transfer preserves the movie's splashy scenery, filled with plenty of lush "eye candy" Riviera shots. But seeing how this film's been out of circulation for a long time, it's worth adding to your Kaye collection!

Sun and fun on the Cote d'Azur

Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on May 29, 2020

I just loved this film, in bright and splashy technicolor. Danny Kaye is just wonderful in dual roles. Watch his cool rendition of "Ballin' le Jack". Gene Tierney is pure elegance and chic ( I understand her gowns were designed by her then husband Oleg Cassini). The whole film is pure Southern French fun (and some laughs) in the sun.

On the Riviera

Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on June 12, 2007

Verified Purchase

This is probably one of the most underrated movies of all time.

Alright, some of the musical sequences are dated - especially the "Rhythm of a new romance"-number - but the dialogue and the story are still extremely witty and funny. And it's Danny Kaye at his best. Not as brilliant as in "The Court Jester" three years later, but more mature and refined than in "The secret Life of Walther Mitty" (which is a great movie, too!), Kaye gives a wonderful performance as nightclub entertainer Jack Martin ("Ballin' the Jack" and "Happy Ending" are just wonderful). And he plays rich aviator Henri Duran who neglects his wife and only comes to his senses when he thinks that she's betraying him with Martin. Kaye is believeable in both parts.

"On the Riviera" is a very entertaining musical comedy and it makes fun of every glamour cliché ever used in Hollywood.

Highly recommended!

One of His Best

Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on October 12, 2008

Verified Purchase

On the Riviera thoroughly displays the amazing talent of Danny Kaye as he doubles most convincingly as an entertainer and the flirtatious fellow the actor is paid to emulate, since they look so very alike. Danny Kaye is one of the very few that acted from the heart and can carry you unabashedly to tears at the moment of painful truth with him or clown around and behave so absolutely slapstick silly you cannot stop roaring! Few actors have ever been so gifted with talent in all areas as this man and to see him in action is a great privilege, even from the movie screen. I love this movie, it is clean, quality family entertainment that will keep you simultaneously riveted and charmed. Danny Kaye is fascinating in every performance and Riviera is dinner and dessert all in one.

troisième,et à ce jour dernière adaptation d'une pièce de théâtre des années 30 "On the Riviera" suit là aussi assez fidèlement la première où le double rôle est tenu par Maurice Chevalier ;après Don Ameche Danny Kaye s'en tire ma foi fort bien (si l'on passe sur le numéro popo the puppet) et l'on peut dire que ,ainsi les 3 versions sont jubilatoires et vous feront passer un excellent moment ,avec pour la dernière un "plus" : Gene Tierney!

Bonne musique pour l'époque où le film fut tourné laquelle pouvait laisser augurer plus de dynamisme et d'action. On dirait une pièce de théâtre portée à l'écran qu'on aurait émaillée de quelques numéros musicaux... Reste qu'il s'agit quand même de Danny Kaye aussi ne vous en privez pas si vous êtes de ceux qui affectionnez encore aujourd'hui celui qui fut un amuseur public de renommée internationale!
