A Certain Smile (1958) Rossano Brazzi, Joan Fontaine, Bradford Dillman, Christine Carère CINEMASCOPE

[@ginamitembe8935]

Oh Joan Fontaine!! Who can resist her!!! So elegant,sad yet sophisticated Actress 😘 Simply love all her movies 💯👍💖

[@patricialivingston5349]

Those were the days. Real movies, no BS! Adore Rossano Brazzi! Fell in love with hm as a teenager when he did South Pacific with Mizzi Gaynor. He was 'The Bomb' not just then, but throughout his whole life along with John Kerr! Paris looks wonderful, it was filmed the year prior to my first trip to France at age 12. So many memories flooding back as I watch. How wonderful!

[@stj971]

👍

[@davidkharat1]

Yes Patricia, Brazzi and other actors and actresses were always chic and well spoken even in western movies. People always copy their dresses as a new fashion within a week A new hair design, skirt’ blouse would apear in the street. The only bad habit they introduced was heavy smoking the cigarets which I learned it at the age of 14 and stayed with me for next 40 years. It is true that they do not make any more movies like 50’s and 60’s. Thanks to youtube , we can watch them very nicely. Uncle David- Houston The female actresses

I love ❤️ hearing Johnny. Singing A certain smile 😊 😊

[@rosalindchu7588]

Was a teen when it came out in 1958, never saw the movie until now…But the song “ A certain Smile” remains alive in me for years.

[@anairenemartinez165]

I saw it, I was 10 years old in 1958, my Mom was a movie fan, my Dad wasn't so she took me with her to see many age innapropiated movies. I remember being fascinated with Rossano's gorgeousness. I think I got the plot somehow even as a young girl. The movie has no sexual scene. Imagine it filmed today!

[@kathyh4804]

An excellent movie of friendship, love and betrayal It did a great job of showing how ones reckless decisions can affect so many

Entertaining and enjoyable movie to watch. Paris was so different looking then. It was a city of love and being in love. So much has changed since then, even being in love!

It was an outstanding movie with great acting and music which leaves a great memory in my mind unlike the new music full of jumping, screaming, without any meaning. The location was ver romantic and Riviera was a show case. The story could happened to most of us. A young and nice looking girl who is interested in a better life , lush and nice trip vs. a penniless boyfriend could be true anytime of the life. The story is sweet and reminding.

I lost my brother and sister and my mother lives with their memory but I am still here, can't compete with the dead.

I knew a "Newman," Alfred in this case, HAD to be doing the music. The Newman's music pretty much dominated the movies of The Golden Age Of Hollywood. Their music was exquisite, and remains so, in our hearts and minds, today. Also, these foreign-filmed movies have some of the most beautiful scenery I have ever seen.

Typical French adultery histories. Francoise Sagan was an expert. It was her second book called in French “un certain sourire » she was 19 when she wrote that book. I preferred her first one « Bonjour tristesse » when she was only 17. Nice to see Paris of my enfancy. It has changed unfortunately like all beautiful European towns.

I knew it was the end of French tradition when my husband & I were travelling by car in France & wanted lunch. We entered a typical restaurant in a village but were told the kitchen had just closed & the chef was on break.
