5 out of 5 stars 5 stars for the movie not the transfer.......2007-05-20

I can't believe how many versions of "The Last Time I Saw Paris" there are and yet NONE are in widescreen and none seem to be a good digital transfer! I can't image what's up with this movie! The movie itself has a great storyline and Elzabeth Taylor looks hotter than ever! Worth watching but can't understand why this movie keeps being shortchanged over and over again!

3 out of 5 stars The movie betrayed the dry-eyed spirit of the original material..........2007-01-04

"The Last Time I Saw Paris" converted the author's sensibility downward, to compassion and soap opera... The movie therefore betrayed the dry-eyed spirit of the original material... The first mistake, though, was in changing the era from the Lost Generation Twenties to post-World War II... The jazz age ambiance, recollected in the story, the mystique of Paris in the Twenties--these key tokens of Fitzgerald's sensibility were missing...

Even more damaging than the switch in era is the attempt to expand the characters whose motivations are only sketched lightly in the short story... Told in flashback, the story centers on a successful American novelist (Van Johnson) who returns to Paris and a reunion with the child he left in the custody of his sister-in-law (Donna Reed), since the death of his wife...

The movie and the actors do not move the characters from point A to point B: why, for instance, do husband and wife reverse roles, she transformed from party girl to sober wife who wants to go home to America, he collapsing from serious writer to disappointed drunk...

Van Johnson lacks the mythic stature to suggest other than a poor man's version of the great, doomed Fitzgerald... And Liz was too young and inexperienced at the time to embody an arch-neurotic, part a malicious temptress, and part an aiding angel...

The role is a cumulation of the Taylor ingénue: the goodtime flirt, cunningly stealing a man from her older sister; the spoiled daughter of a fast living phony; the irresponsible party girl with a good heart underneath it all; the sober young mother and wife; the defiant adulteress; the frail spirit cut down by the forces of nature...

At each "station," she is on home ground, but the part comes out in bits and pieces rather than a coherent whole: the character, finally, does not add up... It may be partly Taylor vapidity (Beverly Hills didn't prepare her for Paris), but it's also the script and the direction: that saintly woman, forgiving all, has very little connection to the blithe spirit who steals her sister's man and parties with non-stop frenzy...

5 out of 5 stars The Last Time I Saw Liz and Van.......2005-05-31

Loved it! How can you not love a movie based on a story by the brilliant F. Scott Fitzgerald? You know there's going to be a beautiful and somewhat flighty woman, money issues and lots of drinking! All that and a great cast, including a Gabor sister (they are interchangable aren't they?), a James Bond guy, Roger Moore who is unbeliveably young, posh and just as annoying then as he is now,Donna Reed, the gorgeous Elizabeth Taylor and the lovable and oddly handsome Van Johnson. It's Paris and the War is ending, and can you believe it? Donna Reed and Elizabeth Taylor are sisters! Sounds weird, but works. Liz and Donna have an endearing father, who loves to party and lives like he has money, when in fact he has little. Van and Liz fall in love expressing sweet senitment in lovely and urgent prose, that would only work between young lovers, one a soldier and the other a young beauty, tired of war.

It's fun to get caught up in their blossoming romance and watch their love grow into a trusting relationship, that eventually gives way to some unpleasant moments, brought on by Van's attempts to write the Great American Novel and the sudden and unexpected wealth of Liz's family.

I loved seeing Paris officially light up for the first time after the war, and darling, no one can play a bed-ridden scene like Liz. Hey, don't think this is a Liz only affair, Van plays his share of sad scenes as well. But don't be dismayed, the ending is one that is redeeming and happy.

3 out of 5 stars Keeps the girlfriend happy.......2007-01-18

I bought this for my girlfriend and it came with three movies. She informed me that two of the three were pretty good and she liked them. The other was so-so. I dont know which ones were good and which was so-so since I dont watch old movies. She likes it so I gave it a 3+. The picture on the movies was pretty clear and seemed to be without flaws. According to the g-friend, well worth it if you like old black and white movies. (one may have been in color, cant remember).

From back cover - Van Johnson and the exquisite Elizabeth Taylor star in F. Scott Fitzgerald's tragic love story of a G.I. with literary ambitions, falling victim to the bottle, after his first novel is poorly received.

    Marengo Films is proud to announce the release of these two fine movies. The Last Time I Saw Paris is a beautiful Technicolor print. We put it through a scene for scene color correction and sound design and believe it is the finest print of this film on the market. Love Affair - an older print - is slightly soft - however Marengo put it through a complete scene for scene color correction and sound design and believe it too is the finest print of this movie on the market.

        5 out of 5 stars 5 stars for the movie not the transfer.......2007-05-20

        I can't believe how many versions of "The Last Time I Saw Paris" there are and yet NONE are in widescreen and none seem to be a good digital transfer! I can't image what's up with this movie! The movie itself has a great storyline and Elzabeth Taylor looks hotter than ever! Worth watching but can't understand why this movie keeps being shortchanged over and over again!

        5 out of 5 stars DVD.......2007-01-12

        Got this movie as a Christmas gift for my mom. She loved it!

        3 out of 5 stars The movie betrayed the dry-eyed spirit of the original material..........2007-01-04

        "The Last Time I Saw Paris" converted the author's sensibility downward, to compassion and soap opera... The movie therefore betrayed the dry-eyed spirit of the original material... The first mistake, though, was in changing the era from the Lost Generation Twenties to post-World War II... The jazz age ambiance, recollected in the story, the mystique of Paris in the Twenties--these key tokens of Fitzgerald's sensibility were missing...

        Even more damaging than the switch in era is the attempt to expand the characters whose motivations are only sketched lightly in the short story... Told in flashback, the story centers on a successful American novelist (Van Johnson) who returns to Paris and a reunion with the child he left in the custody of his sister-in-law (Donna Reed), since the death of his wife...

        The movie and the actors do not move the characters from point A to point B: why, for instance, do husband and wife reverse roles, she transformed from party girl to sober wife who wants to go home to America, he collapsing from serious writer to disappointed drunk...

        Van Johnson lacks the mythic stature to suggest other than a poor man's version of the great, doomed Fitzgerald... And Liz was too young and inexperienced at the time to embody an arch-neurotic, part a malicious temptress, and part an aiding angel...

        The role is a cumulation of the Taylor ingénue: the goodtime flirt, cunningly stealing a man from her older sister; the spoiled daughter of a fast living phony; the irresponsible party girl with a good heart underneath it all; the sober young mother and wife; the defiant adulteress; the frail spirit cut down by the forces of nature...

        At each "station," she is on home ground, but the part comes out in bits and pieces rather than a coherent whole: the character, finally, does not add up... It may be partly Taylor vapidity (Beverly Hills didn't prepare her for Paris), but it's also the script and the direction: that saintly woman, forgiving all, has very little connection to the blithe spirit who steals her sister's man and parties with non-stop frenzy...

        1 out of 5 stars The Last Time I Saw Paris.......2006-02-28

        I enjoy the movie or else I wouldn't have ordered it. However the quality of the film was very poor. It was grainy and the sound was not good quality. I was disappointed.

        5 out of 5 stars The Last Time I Saw Liz and Van.......2005-05-31

        Loved it! How can you not love a movie based on a story by the brilliant F. Scott Fitzgerald? You know there's going to be a beautiful and somewhat flighty woman, money issues and lots of drinking! All that and a great cast, including a Gabor sister (they are interchangable aren't they?), a James Bond guy, Roger Moore who is unbeliveably young, posh and just as annoying then as he is now,Donna Reed, the gorgeous Elizabeth Taylor and the lovable and oddly handsome Van Johnson. It's Paris and the War is ending, and can you believe it? Donna Reed and Elizabeth Taylor are sisters! Sounds weird, but works. Liz and Donna have an endearing father, who loves to party and lives like he has money, when in fact he has little. Van and Liz fall in love expressing sweet senitment in lovely and urgent prose, that would only work between young lovers, one a soldier and the other a young beauty, tired of war.

        It's fun to get caught up in their blossoming romance and watch their love grow into a trusting relationship, that eventually gives way to some unpleasant moments, brought on by Van's attempts to write the Great American Novel and the sudden and unexpected wealth of Liz's family.

        I loved seeing Paris officially light up for the first time after the war, and darling, no one can play a bed-ridden scene like Liz. Hey, don't think this is a Liz only affair, Van plays his share of sad scenes as well. But don't be dismayed, the ending is one that is redeeming and happy.
