I overhead someone say "Count Renaleau" and knew the reference immediately. This was terribly overlooked in its time...and a great comedy!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3185294584889963228.post-25509983866363864202011-08-04T10:28:03.528-04:002011-08-04T10:28:03.528-04:00John: Well, at least we have this wonderful movie ...John: Well, at least we have this wonderful movie to remember them by in their prime. <br /><br />If you haven't seen this in a while, watch it again.

Last time I saw her she was a controlling, obnoxious mother on DEXTER.<br /><br />And Tom Conti, too. he sort of faded into the background once the 1990s come around. I think he shows up on BBC TV every now and then in character parts.<br /><br />I do remember this one. Kind of in the <i>Romancing the Stone</i> vein.J F Norrishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06473487417479127354noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3185294584889963228.post-86328895344293901352011-08-02T17:26:32.785-04:002011-08-02T17:26:32.785-04:00Todd: Oh, now I see what she meant.

Admittedly, it's been a while since I've seen AMERICAN DREAMER. Time to watch it again. :)<br /><br />If you're in the mood for a light-hearted, romantic, and very farcical spy thriller, then this is the film. Plus you have the city of Paris...sigh!Yvettehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08919246184376538331noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3185294584889963228.post-27524047768595589202011-08-02T17:18:08.362-04:002011-08-02T17:18:08.362-04:00If you're not joking in response to Kate...wel...If you're not joking in response to Kate...well, does someone recite Nietzche to someone else, or offhandedly to themselves? (That which doesn't kill me makes me stronger...). As you might gather, I've missed this one too...sounds like a good double-feature with THE LONG KISS GOODNIGHT, among others...Todd Masonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01815516018079824802noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3185294584889963228.post-21514803919881999342011-08-02T11:00:12.531-04:002011-08-02T11:00:12.531-04:00Naomi: He was not your typical leading man, but se...Naomi: He was not your typical leading man, but sexy just the same. <br /><br />I love the scenes when she goes on that dream shopping spree!<br /><br />And the last scene in that cozy, warm house in Paris.<br /><br />And the scene when she's under the table (literally) with a bunch of Russians at the ball.<br /><br />I also love the guy who played the Spanish Ambassador.

Coral Browne is just the way you want her to be and Williams is perfect as 'Rebecca Ryan' -- the person she really could be. Fun! <i>Was mich nicht umbringt, macht mich stärker!</i>C.
