Redwarmin This movie is the proof that the world is becoming a sick and dumb place

AshUnow This is a small, humorous movie in some ways, but it has a huge heart. What a nice experience.

Bumpy Chip It’s not bad or unwatchable but despite the amplitude of the spectacle, the end result is underwhelming.

Fleur Actress is magnificent and exudes a hypnotic screen presence in this affecting drama.

bkoganbing Once again I'm guessing that Rock Hudson signed on to make this film because of the trip to Vienna and Rome he was getting. Those fringe benefits are important especially when you know this caper film is going to be a Thanksgiving special.Rock and co-star Claudia Cardinale basically go through the motions with zero chemistry between them in A Fine Pair. Hudson did a pair of films in the Sixties with another Italian co-star Gina Lollobrigida and those two movies had a lot more going for them than this one. Hudson is ostensibly a police captain in New York who gets a visit in New York from the daughter of a colleague in Italy.Claudia's a rebellious child coming from a law enforcement family she's become a thief. But ostensibly she's had a change of heart and now wants Rock's help to return some swag she robbed over in Vienna.So Rock drops everything, career, marriage, etc., to go do a reverse caper in Vienna. Of course that's hardly all, but the film moved so slow I doubt you'll wait to find out.A Fine Pair will never be in anyone's list of top Rock Hudson films.

Wizard-8 Despite the two prominent stars in its cast, "A Fine Pair" has never been released on home video, and is seldom broadcast on television. It doesn't take long upon watching it to figure out why it's been banished to obscurity. Though Hudson and Cardinale have shown talent and charm elsewhere, you wouldn't know it with this movie. Cardinale is downright annoying, and Hudson's obvious bored demeanor makes it clear he is wishing he was elsewhere. Needless to say, the scenes where the two are paired up - which make up most of the movie - generate absolutely no chemistry. But the problems with the movie go beyond the stars. The movie has an often cheap feel, from the tacky sets to the wretched dubbing. The biggest problem is that while it's a caper movie, it moves along at a deadly slow pace and generates no excitement or suspense. The only redeeming feature is the musical score by Ennio Morricone, though even fans of his will probably admit that this music is far from his best work.

edwagreen Miserable film with Rock Hudson going from a straight laced police officer into aiding a young woman who stole jewelry and now shows remorse to return what she has taken.The problem here is that there are constant twists of deception in the plot. Hudson goes too straight into a lover boy ready to divorce his wife for the young lady. Each literally feeds off one another and the confusion persists.The end is supposed to show us that love shall conquer all situations but by that time you can't wait for the film to be over.Hudson and Cardinale walk away as if they have fooled everyone. In reality, they have fooled only themselves.

gridoon2018 A hard-to-find and little-seen caper movie, despite its glamorous star combo of Rock Hudson (as a by-the-book cop) and Claudia Cardinale (as a cheerful girl with a secret). Perhaps not the ultra-smooth and glossy film you'd expect from these two at the time, but that may actually be a point in its favor! It is refreshingly, but also lightly, amoral, and quite unpredictable right down to the final shot. It does slow down in the middle, but the two lively stars and the location filming in New York, Austria and Italy keep you watching even during those parts. It's a tribute to Claudia Cardinale's indescribable beauty that, although the film was shot in wintertime and she's mostly all bundled up, she's still extremely sexy! **1/2 out of 4.
