One of the most wonderful - and expensive - places I have had the pleasure to visit.Oh, "La Bonne Anne'e" was the first film in a double-billed showing. The principle film was a Bruce Lee film which is generally called "Fists of Fury." It's a good martial arts film but hardly the same quality as the far superior "La Bonne Anne'e." I must admit I found it rather funny to see the Bruce Lee film screened in Cantonese with French and English subtitles. Thankfully it was not dubbed but the subtitles were really too large and distracting.
I watch "The Attack of the Clones" in French. It somehow makes the stilted dialogue easier to take. It's still bad but it is easier on the ears.
Yes, Ms. Mattieu is not on a par with the great Edith Piaf but I do enjoyed her for what she is. I have seen her perform and she is quite good, if a bit derivative. She was fairly popular in the United States in the late 1960s and was a frequent television performer. I saw her in Cannes and later, I believe, in Toulone and then Genoa.
