Rijndri Load of rubbish!!

Sexyloutak Absolutely the worst movie.

Merolliv I really wanted to like this movie. I feel terribly cynical trashing it, and that's why I'm giving it a middling 5. Actually, I'm giving it a 5 because there were some superb performances.

Siflutter It's easily one of the freshest, sharpest and most enjoyable films of this year.

gridoon2018 "Fanfan La Tulipe" has a lot of things in its favor: handsome production, beautiful photography (by the way, I saw a colorized version on DVD, which also included a black & white trailer: the color is much more inviting to the eye and it's probably the biggest asset of the film), daring stunts, and two perfectly cast leads (the curvaceous Gina Lollobrigida made a movie a few years later called "The Most Beautiful Woman In The World" - and her appearance here helps her make a strong claim for that title!). It only lacks one thing....however it is an important thing: a compelling story. While the dialogue has its fair share of humor, the story itself is downright dull - to the point where I can't imagine ever watching this movie a second time without frequent use of the fast forward button. **1/2 out of 4.

Lars Gorzelak Pedersen I had two reasons for watching this swashbuckler when it aired on Danish television yesterday. First of all, I wanted to see Gina Lollobrigida - and here I wasn't disappointed. She looked gorgeous. Second of all, through reading about the film I had gotten the impression that it featured absurd humor not unlike that which can be found in Philippe de Broca's films. On this account, however, I was sadly disappointed. I found the jokes predictable (apart from a few witty remarks on the topic of war) and the characters completely one-dimensional. Also, the action scenes were done in a strangely mechanical and uninspired fashion, with no sense of drama at all. I kept watching until the end, but I got bored very quickly and just sat there, waiting for the scenes with Lollobrigida.

mckasklep It was released in France on dvd several years ago--I wish it would be re-released with English subtitles. Do not confuse this with a remake with Penelope Cruz which gets poor reviews. Gerard Phillippe is a peasant who is told by a fortune teller that he will marry the daughter of the king. He sets off to join the army and goes to war. His love, however, is Gina Lollabrigida in an early movie for her. I won't spoil the end. Gerard Phillippe died a few years later at a young age, a great loss to moviedom.

I.A. Gerard Phillipe is absolutely perfect in this movie, funny, tender, brave and lover.He gives a superior dimension to a movie which is even a masterpiece, as much by the other actors (Gina Lollobrigida:miaoooou!!) as by the story or the rhythm. Never boring, always creating new emotions: for me, the best french movie of all time.
