Marva It is an exhilarating, distressing, funny and profound film, with one of the more memorable film scores in years,

vincentlynch-moonoi Back in 1984, when I was 35, I saw this movie and liked it very much. Watching it this time around, on cable, I almost turned it off after the first 20 minutes. And I began thinking...what was it that I liked about Gene Wilder? What is it about Gene Wilder that makes him seem so much more dated than actors from the 1940s? Ah well. But I didn't turn off the movie, and I was glad I didn't...with a few reservations. First, the reservations. Today we call Gene Wilder's actions in this film "stalking". We call some of the comments and actions by other male characters in the film "sexual harassment". And, Gilda Radner all but disappears halfway through the film. But worst of all, this film has to have one of the lousiest endings in cinema history. Does his marriage live or die? Very unsatisfactory.However, the movie also has its redeeming facets. A dignified gay character at a time when that was rare in American cinema. Some sentimental snippets about what friendship really is (along with some about what friendship isn't).The actors here are interesting, if not good. Gene Wilder was Gene Wilder; nothing new there; pleasant on screen. Kelly LeBrock as the super model; well, a rather short film career with little real depth. Gilda Radner was fun. Charles Grodin, whom I never saw as a "real" actor, comes off nicely here as the gay character that manages to hang onto straight friendships; Grodin was always a pleasant man to see on screen. Joseph Bologna...well, difficult to like the role, but he played it well. Judith Ivey as Wilder's wife...perhaps the best acting in the film.Dated, very imperfect, disappointing...but still worth a watch...one more time.

thomas196x2000 Of course I, at the time (along with everyone else), loved the Stevie Wonder song that permeated the airwaves at the time of this movie's release. That song had a sense of sweetness and poignancy to it that didn't match this movie. In fact, they played it as Wilder is calling home prior to (perhaps) cheating on his wife. Nothing like playing a nice song like that at that moment. Hey, I am going to cheat on you, but calling to tell you I love you! All that said, this is a disappointing 80s comedy that has really nothing going for it. A few days after seeing it, you'll likely not remember it. I would have forgotten completely about it save for the Wonder song that is in it.

RalphNumbers The fine line between comedy and tragedy is on display in this picture. This is a truly vile film. Comedy? Not even close. The message of this film is that everybody's a lying cheat and will never learn from their mistakes. A truly tragic pronouncement.Maybe the language barrier affected this adaptation of its French source material. The cultural insulation films receive by way of subtitles might have made this sad mess hysterical. Find a print in which the actors speak Mandarin with English subtitles and let me know whether it's zany, OK? Never knew an alleged comedy could be so depressing.

gcd70 "Pardon mon Affaire" is the French film which gets the re-make treatment in director/star Gene Wilder's "The Woman in Red". One is hard pressed to recall a memorable effort at this now common practice ("Three Fugitives" was perhaps the most enjoyable), and this 1984 movie is no exception.Wilder plays a happily married man who suddenly finds himself in mid-life crisis when he falls for a stunning young model whom he attempts to have an affair with. His naive pursuit of the woman (Kelly LeBrock) sees his once cosy family life and his safe existence soon rapidly unravelling.As a comedy the film is reasonably enjoyable, though most of the best moments are totally unrelated to the plot, which of course is rather weak. "The Woman in Red" doesn't work at all as either a romance nor as a serious drama about infidelity.Of course director Gene Wilder probably never meant for his movie to be taken very seriously at all, however the comedy alone is not enough to carry it, and none of the acting helps any either (Charles Grodin - with his uncanny ability to turn nothing into something - is the only exception). Not much to laugh at in this impotent show.Friday, June 10, 1994 - T.V.
