...Lola Montes. Famous for its tracking shots, this extravagantly baroque film by Max Ophuls (Marcel's father), was one of the most colossal financial failures in the history of the cinema, but its 1969 re-release led to much critical approval.

...when she sits, something she never does in public, there is a slight bulge around the middle. Still, she is a very good-looking 70, and her magnificently alluring voice is ageless. If she no longer looks like Cocteau's Lorelei, she still sounds like her-or the Lola Lola of The Blue Angel and the Frenchy of Destry Rides Again. That alone may be enough to make her special one of the brighter hours of the TV season...
