Five Day Lover
Five Day Lover (1961)

Best of Jean Seberg's films
16 January 2004
Described as a comedy this film is really a "comedie" in the French meaning. It is drama with a smile on its face. The final scene is moving and hauntingly etched in memory forever. Never was Jean Seberg so lovely in spite of portraying a woman approaching middle age. One of the greats!

A fogotten New Wave masterpiece
16 January 2004
Why is this moving and provoking movie never seen? It never seems to get any notice or mention when discussing or reviewing New Wave films. Better than the "400 Blows" and most of the rest of the genre. Could the score have something to do with this. Does Wagner have such an effect on viewers?

Unforgettable Movie
16 January 2004
I saw this film in 1958 on the old 42nd Street in New York. It affected me greatly then and I can still recall its vivid B&W images today. It was my first experience with a foreign film. Sonja Zieman was beautiful!

A Shakespearian Love Story
16 January 2004
Don't be fooled for a minute. This film is a love story of star-crossed lovers. Cotton (Martins) falls for Valli (Anna) who loves Wells (Lime) who loves himself. Billed as a thriller and film noir it is really comparable to Romeo and Juliette. The final scene proves love is the message.
