Probably, it was just the cool thong to do. I think it's time to turn a more appreciative and discerning eye towards them once more. Your post is inspiring me to re-visit this film. Your article is thoughtful and insightful.FlickChickhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17351624749230610755noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5344878851139332715.post-2249910313265545942019-08-27T08:08:29.711-04:002019-08-27T08:08:29.711-04:00I must see this film.

And of course Jeanne Moreau is such an outstanding actress.Thank you for selecting this film for the Vive la France blogathon and thank you for participating!Christian Esquevinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04442827724576856379noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5344878851139332715.post-27531318384059905152019-08-26T15:16:09.185-04:002019-08-26T15:16:09.185-04:00It took me two viewings to appreciate this.

Never their pastry or wine, just their darker movies.Caftan Womanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05936895555808823221noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5344878851139332715.post-86268988333729599362019-08-26T14:56:23.755-04:002019-08-26T14:56:23.755-04:00I liked The Bride Wore Black very much on first vi...I liked The Bride Wore Black very much on first viewing - many eons ago, it seems - its emulation of Hitchcock, Jeanne Moreau in a fits-like-a-glove role. So when I watched it a second time and wasn't as taken with it I was a bit surprised. In the end, it is Day for Night that I return to most often.<br /><br />Wonderful write-up, Rick, and thank you for joining in on the blogathon.The Lady Evehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11963115499930520653noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5344878851139332715.post-13909966450585077862019-08-26T14:27:28.343-04:002019-08-26T14:27:28.343-04:00I would rank this as my favorite FT film also.
