Movie Reviews of Countess From Hong Kong
Movie Review: Goodbye Charlie
Summary: 2 Stars
This is the final motion picture written and directed by Charlie Chaplin. He was 78 years old when it was released and had been in political exile from the United States for the past 15 years. Although the movie features two of the biggest stars of its time, Marlon Brando and Sophia Loren, and was written as an old-fashioned comedy, it is rather slow and "talky." It has plenty of curiosity value, but I'm sorry to report, not a great deal of entertainment value. The once mighty Chaplin, had simply run out of gas. Working with Brando (who openly made fun of Chaplin during filming) and a script he had first drafted in the 30s for Paulette Goddard, Chaplin was out of his element.
Movie Review: disappointed
Summary: 2 Stars
i was attracted by HongKong set ,the cast and the director.
HongKong setting lasts two frames at the beginning of the film and then disappeared. Sophia loren plays modestly . Chaplin directs this movie as Charlot's movie . Boring .
Movie Review: Chaplin's Sad Finale
Summary: 1 Stars
"A Countess From Hong Kong" (1967) is painfully unfunny and depressing to sit through, particularly since it was Charlie Chaplin's cinematic swan song. At age 77, he was out of touch as a filmmaker and no longer enjoyed the creative autonomy of his own studio - hence the overall static quality. Marlon Brando and Sophia Loren are expected to do little more than Chaplin imitations and both appear ill-at-ease with the weak romantic-comedy material. One wishes that Chaplin had permitted a documentary to be filmed on the "Countess" set - it would have been more enjoyable than this leaden farce.Movie Review: DEFECTIVE ITEM
Summary: 1 Stars
I am VERY UNHAPPY with spending the money on the CD. It is defective and just stops in several places, each time for a few minutes. And some of the best scenes have been edited out. WHAT A WASTE OF MY MONEY. I will tell everyone I know that if they are thinking of ordering anything from AMAZON, to be careful.Movie Review: All of the classic elements of farce--minus the humor, timing and chemistry.
Summary: 1 Stars
What is lost via the clumsiness of the production is made up by the obvious antipathy of the participants.
