Alain Delon - Five Film Collection (The Widow Couderc / Diabolically Yours / La Piscine / Le Gitan / Notre Histoire) [DVD]

Good titles and good movies that star Delon. NOTRE HISTOIRE is funny and I never knew Delon could do comedy. And he is very good in it too. A good price for five features through Amazon. All are subtitled but you get used to that. Alain had a recent heart attack, but is fully recovered. I have his email address.

Impressive collection. Wonderful to see Signoret and Delon together.

This collection of Alain Delon is good because it has several films not very popular starred by this French actor. The quality of DVDs is good in general with a good presentation. All DVDs are spoken in French and subtitled in English and Spanish. However, the DVD with the film "The swimming pool" (La piscine) has a shortcoming, you must see it with both subtitles on, i.e. English and Spanish together something that does not happen in the other two DVDs. This inconvenience should be avoided in similar collections, e.g. Catherine Deneuve.

I bought this set because one of my favourite Delon films, Le Piscine is included. Of the five films it seems the least dated, and still conveys an imagined idyllic existence for anyone who cannot spend the summer in a large house with a pool high above the coast of the French Riviera, with or without Romy Schneider but any other icon of the era. Widow Couderc is well acted by Simone Signoret and Delon and the atmosphere of hard working farm life well established. Le Gitan is interesting, but not a film to want to watch again. Notre Histoire has an intriguing idea of presenting the lives and loves being established as stories told by the cast which may or not be as lived but as wished. Diaboliqument Votre is the flm that has dated the most. It's intriguing concept of the Delon character being brainwashed in his sleep by Senta Berger and Sergio Fantoni has less coviction than it should and the outcome is not any surprise. This spoils the involvement of the spectator unfortunately. All in all a good selection of Delon's lesser famous films from the years 1967 to 1984. One can see him mature, and develop an interest in stories that present an ambiguous moral denouement. My only disappointment is that the disc of Le Piscine arrived badly scratched as it had slipped inside the cover during shipment.

C'est magnifique!

The last time I saw a French movie with Alain Delon in it was 27 years ago at CSU where I took French classes. I'm so glad that I could find this DVD from Amazon which includes several films from my favorite actor. I really enjoy it.

Here is the most beautiful man on earth. And the film collection is very tasty indeed. Highly recommended!

This has a great set of movies with Alain Delon, and if you are a fan of his, then you will really enjoy it.

All excellent and delivered in very good time.

Alain was always one of my favored actors since the love story with my country mate Romy Schneider. He made a true actressout of her.

Thanks al lot!
