A VERY PRIVATE AFFAIR


Does anyone know if this movie is available on DVD for Region 1, USA? and, has anyone ever seen the original version with subtitles? Sadly, the voices used on most every dubbed foreign movie are HORRIBLE...where do they get these people!!??

To me this is one of the films that shows BB's real beauty.....really good cinematography!

HOWEVER the best two movies she ever did were "La Parisienne" and "Come Dance with Me".........

Any other BB fans out there? What are your favorites??

reply

I think that the best B.B. movie ever are:

La Verite (1960)
En cas de malheur (1958)
Boulevard du Rhum (1971)
L'ours et la poupee (1969)
Voulez-vous danser avec moi? (1959)

they're brilliant!

My French was never that good, so I'm not sure what "Boulevard du Rhum" is???
.I liked "La Verite" very much but have not seen it since it first came out, I believe n 1960!!! WHY aren't these films on DVD? I think some of it is due to copyrights, etc.,,,,or, the 'business end' of who owns the rights to these films, etc.,,,

What is 'Boulevard du Rhum'?
The others I know; Woman & the Puppet, and another of my big favorites, "Come Dance with Me"....

I would be hard-pressed to pick just one, but my biggest favorites are:

La Parisienne
Come Dance with Me
Very Private Affair

So good to hear from another BB fan!!! and isn't almost funny that "And God Created Woman" (which I did not like!!) caused such a stir in 1956, and now, seen today, we wonder what the heck all the fuss as about???!
I don't know, though, if that's such a good thing that we have become so jaded by sexuality in movies and even everyday life....
Your thoughts?

There are few names for 'Boulevard du Rhum', so I'll give you the link to it:

http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0066857/

Also, I didn't mention 'Woman And Satan', since I don't like it that much.

You can read about other titles I mentioned here:

La Verite - http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0054452/
En cas de malheur - http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0051579/
L'ours et la poupee - http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0064779/
Voulez-vous danser avec moi? - http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0053428/

Both 'La verite' and 'En cas de malheur' are masterpieces for me, the only two of Brigitte's! I really love and enjoy the other titles too, but none of them is that good like these two!

Yes, I think that's because of the fact that it's not that easy to get the rights for it, that these films are not available on DVDs yet. Of course most of them is released in France, but they hardly have English subtitles as far as I know.

But you can always try to download them from the net, like from eMule or PirateBay. English subtitles are available to download in the Internet, too.
