Oct. '62 Three famous French crime tales, tied together with a fictional fourth incident, ore enacted by four of France's top screen stars, Danielle Dorrieux, Michele Morgan, Annie Girordot and Edwige Feuillere, to make a fascinating, if over-long, art house film. Lavishly produced by Gilbert Bokanowski against elegant period settings, the picture has a strong marquee draw, with the cast also including the British Richard Todd and Christian Morquand (currently in "The Longest Day"), Gabriele Ferzetti, Pierre Brosseur, Gino Cervi and others familiar to devotees of foreign fare. Directed by Gerard Oury, from his own screenplay in collaboration with Jeon Charles Tacohella and Paul Gordeoux, the picture opens intriguingly as a man goes to a movie theatre to see a three-port "Crime Does Not Pay" and ends with him leaving to become a victim of a fourth murder. "The Mask," based on a Stendhal classic, is a rambling period drama of murder and fiendish revenge, with an appropriately stylized portrayal by the matronly Miss Feuillere; the second, "The Hugues Case," is cm interminably draggy, politically tinted murder case which even the handsome Miss Morgan is unable to bring to life, but the third, "The Fenayrou Case," is by for the most intriguing, as well as the most censoroble, and is delightfully acted by Miss Girordot, as a scheming wife, who maneuvers to have her husband and lover kill each other v/hile she dallies with a handsome doctor. The personable Christian Morqucmd and Paul Guers are also in this episode. The final episode is a mcxdern one, in which the British Todd manages to save the life of Danielle DorrieUx, who is more attractive than ever as a charming alcoholic. Todd mingles English and his inadequate French to fine effect. Scenery, costumes and productions are lavish. Danielle Dorrieux, Richard Todd, Michele Morgan, Christian Morquand, Annie Girordot, Pierre Brasseur, Edwige Feuillere, Jean Servais, Rosanna Schiaffino, Gabriele Ferzetti, Gino Cervi, Paul Guers. Passion of Slow Fire A Trans-Lux 91 Minutes Rel. Oct. '62 A well-thought-out murder mystery more concerned with talk than action, this French-language drama will intrigue class patrons in the art spots even if many will find it slow-moving and lacking suspense. While value is mild, the names of George Simenon, who wrote the original novel, "La Mort de Belle," and lean Anouilh, the famed French playwright, who did the script adaptation and dialog, will attract the literati set. As directed by Edduiard Molinaro, the film opens with the violent death of an American girl (played briefly but effectively by Alexandra Stewart, who was featured in "Exodus") and the rest of the footage is devoted to evidence piling up against the mild-mannered college professor at whose home she boarded. Even his devoted wife is shaken by the circumstantial evidence but audience sympathy is with the man throughout. Ironically, the professor commits a murder at the very moment when the police get a confession from the girl's actual killer. Jeon DeSoilly gives a quietly persuasive performance as the suspected professor and Monique Melinand is equally fine as his sexually frigid wife. However, the picture is strangely lacking in excitemehit. Although the original title, translated as "The Death of Belle,” best suits the story, the new title is a more sensational and exploitable one. A Cinephonic Production.
