Yes, that French Roast brew must have been too strong for him.

Dinner at the Ritz (1937) Paris and the French Riviera serve as the backdrop for this very elegant whodunit, starring the effervescent Annabella, along with David Niven and Paul Lukas.

A Tale of Springtime (1990)

Next: Great depiction of summer weather

Next: luxury liner

Katherine Hepburn

Next: played sidekick or best friend

My Night at Maud’s (1969) If I had to recommend a starting point for understanding the French New Wave, this would be my choice, perhaps not as popular a choice as Breathless , or The 400 Blows . Like all of Eric Rohmer’s work, My Night at Maud’s has a narrative structure based on talk. The three m...

Darkest Hour (2017)
