Vintage Movie Wallpaper of the Day
Tuesday, November 11, 2008

One of the all-time great Weird Wednesdays screenings I’ve been to was for this film. Absolutely loved it. I often wonder just how much of a cult following this film has as many cinephiles I meet also note it as one of their favorites. Also known in the UK as The Love Cage.

Caption:
Jane Fonda, returning to her villa with empty baskets after taking food to a mission for down-and-outs, is followed by the new chauffeur, Alain Delon.

Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer’s “THE LOVE CAGE” stars Jane Fonda, Alain Delon and Lola Albright in the suspenseful drama of a young professional card shark who is pursued by American gangsters and escapes to the French Riviera. When he becomes the chauffeur of a rich widow and her beautiful young cousin, he finds himself involved in a web of mystery and intrigue. The Cipra Production was produced by Jacques Bar and directed by Rene Clement.

This is one of those films I’m in eternal debt to Weird Wednesday at the Alamo Drafthouse. All praise to Lars for screening this eclectic and resonating rare film.
