1.Tales of Manhattan starring: Charles Boyer, Rita Hayworth, Ginger Rogers, Henry Fonda, Charles Laughton directed by: Julien Duvivier May 07, 1996
Average Rating: >>More Details		Used Price: $13.99
I first saw this movie years ago on AMC - I'd never heard of it but there wasn't anything else on, so I settled in to watch. After all, with the cast of stars including Rita Hayworth, Ginger Rogers, Henry Fonda, Charles Laughton and Edward G. Robinson, I figured it couldn't be too bad. I was wrong - it was GREAT! The story involves a tailcoat which is passed from one story to the next and affects the lives of each person who receives it. Some of the stories were pure 40's fluff and that's okay - I like fluff. But two of the "tales" especially touched my heart - so much so that here I sit, years later, writing a review that I hope will inspire someone else to watch this hidden gem. You'll see other people talk about the vignette with the great Edward G. and I agree - it's absolutely one ... Read More

2.Great Waltz, The (1938) starring: Luise Rainer, Fernand Gravey, Miliza Korjus, Hugh Herbert, Lionel Atwill directed by: Victor Fleming, Josef von Sternberg, Julien Duvivier September 01, 1998
Average Rating: >>More Details		Used Price: $4.24
I throughly enjoyed this movie and would recommend it to any one who enjoys good music. The plot was entertaining and you were hoping that his wife would win out in the end. A good way to spend a couple of hours.

3.Anna Karenina starring: Vivien Leigh, Ralph Richardson, Kieron Moore, Hugh Dempster, Mary Kerridge directed by: Julien Duvivier April 22, 1997
Average Rating: >>More Details		Used Price: $0.99
I have never read the book, and all I know of the story is what I saw in this movie. I don't think the story was developed very well. There was little dialogue and little to show that Anna was interested in Vronsky until all of sudden she's crazy about him. It's surprising also when she says his love for her has faded and thinks he is going to marry someone else -- We hadn't really seen anything to lead us to that conclusion. So the end is especially tragic because watching this movie you can't even tell if she was right in her suspicions. Also, I agree with the other reviewer that the quality of the picture and audio was poor.

5.Pepe Le Moko starring: Jean Gabin, Gabriel Gabrio, Saturnin Fabre, Fernand Charpin, Lucas Gridoux directed by: Julien Duvivier July 15, 1994
Average Rating: >>More Details		Off The Bookshelf's Price: $14.99 Prices subject to change. Used Price: $6.92
This trademark role, along with "Grand Illusion", contributes to French actor Gabin's legacy what "The Maltese Falcon" and "Casablanca" did for Bogart. Duvivier's dark film is one our most atmospheric mysteries, exuding an almost paranoic tension. Gabin (like younger countryman Gerard Depardieu), is not classically handsome, but possessed of a rugged allure that women find unable to resist. At the same time, Balin is pretty irresistible herself, definitely a woman worth taking chances for. See Gabin's charisma at its height in the incomparable "Pepe".

6.Lydia starring: Merle Oberon, Joseph Cotten, Edna May Oliver, Alan Marshal, Hans Jaray directed by: Julien Duvivier January 31, 1995

7.La Bandera (B&W Sub) starring: Annabella, Jean Gabin, Robert Le Vigan, Raymond Aimos, Pierre Renoir directed by: Julien Duvivier March 25, 2003
Average Rating: >>More Details		Used Price: $9.39
La Bandera is an earlier pairing of actor Jean Gabin and director Julien Duvivier prior to their much-imitated classic, Pepe le Moko. In La Bandera, both Duvivier and Gabin show flashes of their later brilliance in Pepe, but never quite hit the same level. Bandera tells the story of Pierre Gilieth (Gabin). The film opens with Gilieth killing a man in Paris. The scene quickly shifts to a cheap boarding house in Barcelona, where Gilieth is hiding from the law... He is robbed one night and joins the Spanish Foreign Legion just to eat. His Legion unit is stationed in North Africa, and this is where the film shines. The African scenes were all filmed on location at actual Spanish Foreign Legion forts and towns. Locals and tribesmen are constantly sniping at the soldiers, but Duvivier makes these seem larger than life by never actually ... Read More

10.The Little World of Don Camillo starring: Fernandel, Gino Cervi, Vera Talchi, Franco Interlenghi, Sylvie directed by: Julien Duvivier 1990
Average Rating: >>More Details		Used Price: $24.30
The Little World of Don Camillo video was ordered at the request of a very dear friend of mine.. I must admit I had not heard of the film for over 20 years and thought it was out of print. The Story is both humorous and enlightening. Don Camillo is a village priest who manages to misunderstand and be misunderstood at various time by both his Church and his flock. It is very funny.
