Two Women

Two Women (1960) more movies like this

directed by Vittorio De Sica
featuring Sophia Loren, Eleanora Brown, Jean-Paul Belmondo, Raf Vallone, Renato Salvatori

Normally, an actor or actress in a foreign-language film was not the ideal candidate for an Academy Award, inasmuch as his or her English-language "performance" was often dubbed in by an anonymous third party. Such was not the case of Sophia Loren in Two Women (La Ciociara), who did her own English dubbing. Adapted by director Vittorio De Sica and ...

directed by François Truffaut
featuring Jean-Paul Belmondo, Catherine Deneuve, Michel Bouquet, Nelly Borgeaud

A rare mid-career flop for director François Truffaut when it was released, Mississippi Mermaid has become a cult favorite, thanks in part to the availability of the original French version, which added 13 minutes to the U.S. release running time.

Le Cerveau

Le Cerveau (1969) more movies like this

directed by Gérard Oury
featuring Bourvil, David Niven, Jean-Paul Belmondo, Eli Wallach

The Brain (Le Cerveau) is a tongue-in-cheek caper film with more twists and turns than a rural Oregon highway.
