The Golden Coach
Jean Renoir actually made three versions of this film simultaneously, with dialogue in English, French and Italian respectively. He claimed he liked the English-language version best.,Aubergiste: How do you like the New World?
Don Antonio: It will be nice when it's finished.,Featured in Histoire(s) du cinéma: Toutes les histoires (1989),This film is really a masterpiece. This was also French director François Truffaut's opinion, and he named his film company "Les Films du Carrosse" as a tribute to it. I once read a review in which the critic expressed the opinion that Anna Magnani's looks couldn't make it likely that the male characters of the plot fell in love with her. But this is a complete misunderstanding of the story, it is not because of her beauty they love her, but because she makes them laugh, she brings them to that other world which theater creates. For aren't we all made of the same stuff dreams are made of, as the great Will once wrote?... If you haven't seen this film, don't wait if you get a chance to watch it. In France, where I live, it's not available in DVD yet, but since it recently came out in the US, and in Japan, I am looking forward to soon finding it here.,
