Maybe my love of opera makes me forgive an overblown plot. Also, I don't see Marguerite as torn between two men. I think she had definitely picked Gaumont and then sacrificed her own happiness when his father made her see that it would be his son's ruin.<br /><br />Well, different strokes for different folks!marie_dresslerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06334550550983418668noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2746502363551524682.post-17701838740062711052013-08-20T07:38:25.579+03:002013-08-20T07:38:25.579+03:00I have not seen that version of Camille, but I am ...I have not seen that version of Camille, but I am not surprised. There was a period where tv movies reached a standard comparable with big screen movies and certainly this old version is easy to top. I am not sure however I would go out of my way to look it up, but thanks for the tip.<br />TSorensenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12208153011927807857noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2746502363551524682.post-54513531686933860392013-08-20T07:35:37.966+03:002013-08-20T07:35:37.966+03:00I took a glance at your review of Camille and real...I took a glance at your review of Camille and realized that we discussed exactly at the time I started my blog. A very special time for me.<br />Well, I am relieved that there are not too many of these films. This one has filled the quota for quite some time.TSorensenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12208153011927807857noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2746502363551524682.post-19115356419411157402013-08-19T22:07:14.391+03:002013-08-19T22:07:14.391+03:00Back in the early 80s I saw a TV movie of the Cami...Back in the early 80s I saw a TV movie of the Camille story. It was the first thing I had ever seen Greta Scacchi in (she played Camille.) I remember being moved by it. Many years later I saw this Camille movie and I didn't feel it was even as good as that TV movie. Of course, I was decades older, which might have changed my perception. And even though the other was a TV movie, it was at a period of time when the networks were fighting back against loss of ratings by putting out high quality original movies. Yes, that's a far cry from today when throwing a lowest common denominator "reality" show on the air is their current strategy to get ratings.Chip Laryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00787403805554027107noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2746502363551524682.post-81353636237946760772013-08-19T16:45:09.358+03:002013-08-19T16:45:09.358+03:00You'll run into this basic plot again a few ti...You'll run into this basic plot again a few times. Fortunately for you, you'll have a long time between this stinkburger and the next time you see someone torn between two men while wasting away tragically and beautifully. Camille spends the film dying, but she always manages to look a hell of a lot like Garbo.<br /><br />Then again, you and I have discussed this at length already.SJHoneywellhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13550007053995112090noreply@blogger.com
