What in the world is Serge Gainsbourg doing in "Samson Contre Hercule?" The movie poster in my room is so much more gay..."Les Parapluies De Cherbourg."
ReplyDeleteBruno, I love that movie. I watch it at least once a year, at no set time, just when the mood hits me. The colors, Catherine Deneuve, Nino Castelnuovo, "Je vais attendre pour vous," "Recit de Cassard," and that bittersweet Yuletide ending will make anyone just a wee bit gayer.
ReplyDeleteBard: "Samson Contre Hercule" was both an Italian and a French production. Since songwriter Gainsbourg had done a number of films and was immensely popular, he was hired to dubb the voice of the evil warlord Warkalla. He isn't actually an actor in the film, but putting his name on the credits could hurt in France.
ReplyDeleteThe English version of the film was released as merely "Samson,"if I recall.
