Is Paris Burning?/Paris brûle-t-il? (1966)
What happens when you put Leslie Caron, Charles Boyer, George Chakiris, Kirk Douglas, Glenn Ford, Yves Montand, Anthony Perkins, Simone Signoret, Robert Stack, and Orson Welles all in the same film? Unfortunately, you don’t get a very good movie.
Is Paris Burning? is a black-and-white French film with lots of French stars and a few American ones, about Paris’s liberation in WWII. While Gert Froebe has been ordered by Hitler to burn the city of Paris if Allied forces approach, the French resistance tries to liberate the city from the inside out. The subplots and countless characters were pretty confusing, and while I understood the stark directing style, it didn’t do much to keep me from falling asleep. Unless you’re particularly interested in watching a movie about this part of the war, you’re better off choosing something else from the abundance of WW2 films out there.
