Madame Bovary (1949)

A romantic country girl sacrifices her marriage when she thinks she's found true love.

Dir: Vincente Minnelli Cast:  Jennifer Jones , Van Heflin , Louis Jourdan .
114 min, TV-PG , CC
CLOSE LEONARD MALTIN REVIEW:

D: Vincente Minnelli. Jennifer Jones, James Mason, Van Heflin, Louis Jourdan, Christopher Kent (Alf Kjellin), Gene Lockhart, Gladys Cooper, George Zucco, Henry (Harry) Morgan. Gustave Flaubert's 19th- century heroine sacrifices her husband and their security for love, meets a horrible end. Once-controversial adaptation looks better every year, despite an odd "framing'' device involving Flaubert's morals trial. Justifiably celebrated ball sequence is among the greatest set pieces of Minnelli's--or anyone else's--career. Screenplay by Robert Ardrey. Previously filmed in 1932 (as UNHOLY LOVE) and 1934 (in France, by Jean Renoir); remade in France in 1991.

Happy Time, The (1952)

A Quebec patriarch fights to keep his wayward son from leading his grandson astray.

Dir: Richard Fleischer Cast:  Charles Boyer , Louis Jourdan , Marsha Hunt .
94 min, TV-G
CLOSE LEONARD MALTIN REVIEW:

D: Richard Fleischer. Charles Boyer, Louis Jourdan, Bobby Driscoll, Marsha Hunt, Kurt Kasznar, Linda Christian, Marcel Dalio, Jeanette Nolan, Richard Erdman. Charming film about a boy's coming of age in 1920s Ottawa, Canada, amidst a colorful and eccentric family. Driscoll is the adolescent who develops a crush on pretty magician's assistant Christian. Boyer is his understanding father, eternally forgiving of his two wayward brothers (Jourdan and Kasznar, recreating his Broadway role). Earl Felton adapted Samuel A. Taylor's play, based in turn on Robert Fontaine's autobiographical stories.

CLOSE LEONARD MALTIN REVIEW:

D: Charles Vidor. Grace Kelly, Alec Guinness, Louis Jourdan, Agnes Moorehead, Jessie Royce Landis, Brian Aherne, Leo G. Carroll, Estelle Winwood. Mild Molnar comedy of manners has attractive cast but not much sparkle. Jourdan good as Kelly's suitor, but she's promised to prince Guinness. Filmed before in 1925 and (as ONE ROMANTIC NIGHT) in 1930. CinemaScope.

Spartacus (1960)

An heroic slave leads a revolt against the corrupt Roman Empire.

Dir: Stanley Kubrick Cast:  Kirk Douglas , Laurence Olivier , Jean Simmons .
C- 197 min, TV-PG , CC
CLOSE LEONARD MALTIN REVIEW:

D: Stanley Kubrick. Kirk Douglas, Laurence Olivier, Jean Simmons, Tony Curtis, Charles Laughton, Peter Ustinov, John Gavin, Nina Foch, Herbert Lom, John Ireland, Charles McGraw, Woody Strode, Joanna Barnes. Epic-scale saga with Douglas as a rebellious slave who leads a crusade for freedom against the forces of the Roman Empire. Over-length (particularly in fully restored version released in 1991) and some dramatic weaknesses are offset by Alex North's magnificent score, staggering battle scenes, and the delicious performances of Olivier, Laughton, and especially Ustinov, who won a Best Supporting Actor Oscar for his scene-stealing work. Oscars also went to Art Direction, Costume Design, and Russell Metty's Cinematography. Screenplay by Dalton Trumbo from the Howard Fast novel. Cut for 1967 reissue. In restored print, Anthony Hopkins dubbed Olivier's voice for notorious bathing scene with Curtis. Super Technirama 70.
