When the young cinephiles who would later  spawn the French New Wave attended screenings of Hollywood films at the  Cinémathèque Française, they often found themselves watching prints lacking  French subtitles.  Not all of these men  understood English, but they stuck it out anyway.  After all, you can still learn from a film  even if you can&#8217;t quite follow the dialogue; [...]]]></description>

Ralph Richardson in The Fallen Idol

THE FALLEN IDOL Review: Part I
Things are cleared up before the end, after a number of plot contrivances &#8212; not the least of which is the mediocre police investigation. Compounding matters, The Fallen Idol offers subpar acting (Henrey and Morgan phone in their performances), stereotyped characters (e.g., the cops and a Cockney prostitute), and some bad cinematography by Georges Périnal. Again, it&#8217;s not that the images are in themselves bad; it&#8217;s just that they are inaptly applied to the situations in which the characters find themselves. For instance, angles are skewed in an attempt to add tension to banal scenes, an approach made worse by William Alwyn&#8217;s melodramatic musical score, which stands in stark contrast [...]]]></description>

Edouard Dhermitte, Jean Cocteau in The Testament of Orpheus

Oh my, how poets suffer! It seems that the Orpheus characters, Death (Maria Casarès &#8212; who did not age well; she actually resembles Vampira from Plan 9 from Outer Space) and Heurtebise (François Périer), resent being conjured by the magic of a poet, and want to try Cocteau for his sins. Of course, his sin is not sinning, and his sentence is being condemned to live &#8212; a wistful thought for the then seventy-year-old Cocteau, whose own real life son Edouard Dhermitte reprises his role as the poet Cégeste from Orpheus.
