Curapedi I cannot think of one single thing that I would change about this film. The acting is incomparable, the directing deft, and the writing poignantly brilliant.

Fairaher The film makes a home in your brain and the only cure is to see it again.

FirstWitch A movie that not only functions as a solid scarefest but a razor-sharp satire.

Bob This is one of the best movies I’ve seen in a very long time. You have to go and see this on the big screen.

Claudio Carvalho After seducing the wife of a powerful mobster in New York, the bon- vivant wolf Marc (Alain Delon) travels to the French Riviera. However the mobster orders his gangsters to travel to France and bring Marc's head to him. They kidnap Marc but he succeeds to flee. Without any money, he hides in a mission for poor people. While donating food and supplies to the mission, the wealthy widow Barbara (Lola Albright) and her niece and housemaid Melinda (Jane Fonda) meet Marc and she hires him to be her chauffeur. He moves to a castle-like mansion and believes Barbara has hired him to have sex with her while Melinda falls for him. But Marc decides to investigate the death of Barbara's wife and discloses a hidden secret and that his life is in danger. What will Marc do?"Les félins" is a suspenseful neo-noir film by the fantastic French director René Clément. The screenplay has many twists and two femme fatale with a great story. The only but is the adorable and irresistible Jane Fonda in the role of Melina. Marc (Alain Delon) is a handsome man but how could he resist to the sexy Melinda (Jane Fonda) in the top of her beauty? Better of a less sexy and beautiful actress in this role. My vote is seven.Title (Brazil): "Jaula Amorosa" ("Love Cage")

row333au Les Felins is a very advance for it's time with uniqueness, the modern theme and twisting multi-plots. It's been so very underrated but in a way this protected it from being commercially spoilt, which had kept it's class and intelligence.The film is a marriage of french elegant dark film and new wave raw but done in a so stylish but not too arty, in a very balance cinematic intrigue and pleasure. With the surprising humours, quirky action and thriller drama between characters.Almost all the characters have great presence, acting and perfectly cast. Even the mafia gang (like the 60's rat pack) hunting down Marc have such an appeal to suave henchmen.Example the main ones are Alain Delon as Marc (gigolo, living off women, fugitive from American mafia, while in hiding he is being a seducer chauffeur)- Delon himself cannot be refuted to be perfect epitomize of magnetic don juan. Lola Albright as Barbara (philanthropist, cougar, millionaires, mistress of the estate)- Albright even at middle age can rival hotness in class, elegance and beauty any top vogue models. Jane Fonda as Melinda (charity worker, niece of Barbara, playing the maid, love struck of Marc)- Fonda is such a great pleasing to the eyes of any male seeing her at this age and her very alluring attractive female hotness. Overall the three of them have such appeal of sexiness that it actually transpire into cinematic pleasure, on top of their top acting abilities.Rene Clements have really captured a great almost perfect flow of how this story evolve. He had few modern for it's time elements (not to mention objects)that created distinct actions, dialogue, close interactions and developments of suspense to antithesis to demise of thriller story.The critic to this is that you will wish it was also released dubbed in English, the film was in colour and added more scenes.

dbdumonteil ...only "Plein Soleil" ("Purple noon" -the talented M.Ripley first version- ,a first Delon/Clement collaboration ,is superior.The director's other thrillers were marred by unbearable metaphysical pretensions ("La Maison Sous les Arbres" " la Course du Lièvre à Travers Champs" "Babysitter" ...)which the use of American actors did not help.A black and white film ,a strange choice for a story which takes place in a luxury mansion on the Cote d'Azur ,the cinematography is in direct contrast to that of "Plein Soleil" .Whereas the former work was often filmed in open air ,at sea,in "les felins " ,we almost never go out of the Fonda/Albright's place.The screenplay is absorbing ,a la Boileau-Narcejac (who wrote "Diabolique" and "Vertigo" ) and the suspense is sustained throughout the story. (I particularly dig the scenes with the car at the end).It was actually René Clément's last good movie.All that follows is virtually disposable.

Benoît A. Racine (benoit-3) I never saw the English dubbing of this film, but I saw the French original and it is superlative. The music by Lalo Shiffrin is absolutely groundbreaking and a promise of "missions impossible" to come. The photography and editing only give Godard's "Breathless" a knowing passing reference but are way ahead of anything the so-called New Wave (with its stuttering scripts, faulty story-telling, amateur production values and intellectual pretensions) could ever come up with. You'll think you're watching outtakes of "A Hard Day's Night" and the film would still be better than most of today's US suspense-actioners if it hadn't been for the invention of the steadycam. You haven't truly lived until you have experienced Jane Fonda's French-speaking virginal sex kitten act. A taut thriller, extremely modern, from a filmmaker who was always synonymous with the principle of "quality first". Like many French film classics, it is inspired by those oh-so-exotic British/US "romans noirs" (crime novels). And it is a statement on the cold fact that women are about to take over the world and that those lovely little menzipoos can only be relied on for violence and sex.
