Movie Reviews of The Woman in Red
Movie Review: Don't get caught cheating!
Summary: 3 Stars
Here is a Romantic Comedy which centers around the un-Romantic Comedy subject of adultery. Kelly Le Brock portrays the stunning, goddess-like woman who is denied to most of we mere mortals. Gene Wilder plays the sort of creepy guy whom creepy guys like me aspire to be like!
Theodore (Wilder), is a normal, happily married man who lives an average life. That is, until he happens to see a breath-taking woman in red (Le Brock). His encounter with her makes him study his life and ask the age-old question: "Is this all that there is?" He decides to pursue the woman in red, but he has two problems. (1): He has a very jealous wife, and has seen the disastrous consequences of his friends getting caught cheating 1st hand. (2): As we've already said, mere mortals typically don't stand a chance to get the time-of-day from Supermodels.
The film has a few "flat" spots, but also has a handful of classic scenes. The late Gilda Radner is great as the poor innocent girl who gets caught in-the-middle of Theodore's gambit. Still, this is certainly not the funniest or most-entertaining RC film I've ever seen.
Perhaps the most important aspect of the film is Kelly Le Brock. I've always been dismayed that she didn't do more films. She "nails" the part of the model who is a coveted object-of-desire. Yes, there are plenty of beautiful women in Hollywood. However, only a small percentage of them could pull off this part. Merely being gorgeous was not good enough for this part; a certain "mystery" was required as well. Le Brock certainly has that mystery about her that always mesmerizes creepy guys like me - and she always has had it. Without Le Brock, this movie would barely make 1 star.
Summary of The Woman in Red
Seduction is a powerful force, and in the form of The Woman in Red, it's certain to lead to unbridled passion and unlimited laughs! Featuring a first-rate cast that includes Gene Wilder, Charles Grodin, Joseph Bologna, Judith Ivey, Kelly Le Brock and Emmy-winner Gilda Radner, this comedy bombshell scores a perfect 10! Businessman Teddy Pierce (Wilder) has always played by the rules... until he meets the woman in red. With killer legs and a knock out style, sexy Charlotte (Le Brock) is the ultimate fantasy woman. Now Teddy's headed straight for trouble. Deciding just this once 'to give in to temptation, he's looking forward to the most romantic experience of his life. But Teddy's amorous affections soon lead to hilarious consequences when his friends, his secretary and Charlotte's husband get involved!For a few years in the mid-1970s, thanks mostly to his collaboration with Mel Brooks, Gene Wilder was the hottest name in comedy. His films with Richard Pryor made him such a star that he was given the chance to write and direct--a big mistake. The nadir was this slow-moving, self-conscious Americanization of the French bedroom comedy Pardon Mon Affaire. Wilder plays an American executive who glimpses a gorgeous woman and turns his life and his marriage upside down in his misguided pursuit of an unattainable ideal. Heavy-handed sex farce doesn't get much help from Wilder, who does himself no favors as a director; LeBrock is a worthy object of obsession, but she deserves a better movie. --Marshall Fine
