Loulou, belle fille capricieuse et insouciante, est entretenue par Peter Schoen, un homme très riche qui organise les revues de music hall où elle apparaît. Elle réussit à se faire épouser par son amant, qu’elle ne tarde pas à tromper ! Elle multiplie les conquêtes masculines pour finir par sombrer dans la déchéance.

Interprétation  Siegfried Courteau (percussions), Éric Boffel (guitare) et Julien Reyboz (sonorisation)

Just the thing for MON ANNIVERSAIRE!

I wonder how often a Lulu & The Ripper image is chosen to illustrate showings of the movie. For me, Lulu lifting her widow's veil is the quintessential image ... but that was picked in Paris in '55, non?

Give my regards to the Castro Theatre tonight, tomorrow, and always! I got hooked on Preston Sturges when a retrospective of his movies was held at that palace about a quarter-century ago. Forget "laugh out loud" funny; is the house laughing and CRYING for crying out loud?! (Oh how I wish Brooks and Sturges had gotten together. He was a cosmopolitan guy who found L.A. lacking. She may have met him in New York in the Twenties when he was running his mother's cosmetics shop. By the time he became a director, she was back in Wichita. Otherwise he might have written The Lady Eve for Brooks instead of Stanwyck!) (Brooksie could have taken Stany's part in Double Indemnity, too; but I digress too much....)
