Chirphymium It's entirely possible that sending the audience out feeling lousy was intentional

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

Kien Navarro Exactly the movie you think it is, but not the movie you want it to be.

Hattie I didn’t really have many expectations going into the movie (good or bad), but I actually really enjoyed it. I really liked the characters and the banter between them.

Steve O'Rourke 'Avec-Avec'...aka "Duffy" is one of the lost films of the late 20th century ..for some reason this film has been shunned by the consumer worlds of VHS and DVD...and now Netflix.... but make no mistake it is a tight cool, heist flick with subtle twists that make it worth tracking down...take a trip back to the late '60s and enjoy the essence of what film making should be all about....escapism.....why was the film shunned?? my guess is because of the sexuality of it...the female lead is deep, evocative and sleeps with both the son....and the father... the jazzy soundtrack, the cinematography..and the classy style of all the actors will make you reach for that Bombay Gin...;-D

robert_fager-200-64760 This is a very cool, very hip caper film, with sexy James Coburn in the title role. He plays a rogue and conman who…no spoilers, here, It set in Tangier and throughout the Mediterranean, has gorgeous photography, has more twists and turns than any film I can think of, and an ending that is perfect and hilarious and brilliant. It's one of those who is conning who films, and this is one of the very best. It's perfectly cast, James Coburn is awesome, as is James Mason, James Fox, James Alderton, and Susannah York. And the soundtrack is very intense jazz, and Lou Rawls sings the opening song.This is a great film.

bkoganbing Duffy is one of those films that's a chicken/egg film. Is the fact that James Mason treats his two sons Edward Fox and James Alderton like dirt make them hate him. Or is it the fact that they apparently are worthless and he let's them know it. Whatever it is, these two have made up there mind to show dear old dad a thing or two. Businessman Mason is shipping a large lot of money from Tangier to Marseille on a ship and they plan to rob it. That'll show dad.So Alderton like the sons in House Of Strangers and Broken Lance works for wages and this film bears some resemblance to those two. Fox is just a worthless playboy starting to look a little too old for those Carnaby Street fashions that swinging London made popular in the Sixties. These two and Fox's girlfriend Susannah York do realize that they don't have the talent for this caper. So they call in an exiled American professional criminal, the guy who plays the title role in this film, James Coburn.Knowing a bit about Coburn I can see why he gravitated to this movie. Duffy is a whole lot like the real James Coburn, a rather free spirited hedonist who saw acting as a way to make sure he had his pleasures just like Duffy is into criminality. He knows his business and gives the trio proper guidance. But York has an agenda all her own.Duffy doesn't quite get off the ground, most of the time you're wishing he'd just smack these two Calvert twits, James Mason's idiot sons. And these two are truly not worthy of anyone's rooting interest.But Coburn and Mason cut a pair of interesting characters and the cinematography of the blue Mediterranean is nice. Fans of Mason and Coburn will like it.

M. Corten Right from the beginning in swinging London this film epitomizes the coolness of the sixties. Excellent performances by James to the power 3: Coburn, Fox and Mason. Especially Coburn appears to be not acting at all in his tailor-made dropout role, he is just being his natural self. The atmosphere, the images, the music and the plot each contribute to the overwhelmingly positive feeling this picture leaves me with every time I see it. Why can't they make movies like this anymore (sigh, sob)? Another thing that strikes me about this film is that there is no other film (at least that I know of) which bears only the faintest resemblance to this flick. It stands out, on its own. Incredibly, it is available neither on video nor on DVD. Please help, Mr. Duffy-owner!
