 Rating:  - Tense and intriguing drama!If Z was the champion movie dealing with the Authoritarian regimes, there were another two: Battle of Algiers and this one. Powerful political drama focused on the repressive regime of Doc Duvalier. The script is intense and realistic; the cast is glorious; Elizabeth Taylor, Richard Burton, Peter Ustinov and Alec Guiness. A team very difficult to get in those times. Rating: - ProcessingAmazon.com made it very easy to order through their website. Thank you Rating: - THE COMEDIANSI LOVED THIS FILM BECAUSE IT IS PERHAPS THE ONLY ONE WITH A PORTRAL OF THE BRUTALITY OF THE "PAPA DOC" ERA IN HAITI.

Shocker was I thought Taylor was imitating a FRENCH accent and turns out she is GERMAN!Didn't sound German at all OK movie if you lived thru that era which I did.

Taylor's lack of depth gave him nothing to play off of, assuming he was ready to try. She was so carefully made up and coiffed that one was always aware that it was a star turn for Taylor. And the movie is long. What would have been interesting, and might have made an effective movie although ... Read More |
