Blucher One of the worst movies I've ever seen

Mjeteconer Just perfect...

Janae Milner Easily the biggest piece of Right wing non sense propaganda I ever saw.

Brennan Camacho Mostly, the movie is committed to the value of a good time.

Jonathan Roberts Alec Guinness starred in an impressive number of very good comedies in the 1950s, and most of these are now sadly quite obscure. The obscurity of Robert Hamer's 'To Paris with Love' *isn't* such a tragedy, however. There are one or two genuinely funny lines in this film, but the laughs are far too infrequent to justify watching it, even in light of its rather forgiving 78 minute runtime. The performances are not too bad and Guinness's is predictably solid, but when the film's problems are situated in the writing and directing even a legion of A-listers would probably fail to elevate it out of mediocrity. To the fans of 'Kind Hearts and Coronets' who've found their way to this later pairing of Hamer and Guinness: don't get your hopes up.

writers_reign On paper no one sets out to make a clinker but someone in the background got it woefully wrong in the planning stage of this one. In film terms Paris is its own reward and how hard do you have to work to make it sing. Harder by far than anyone on both sides of the camera was prepared and/or able to in this case. For reasons that don't really hold water Alec Guiness plays a gotrocks who takes his totally insipid twenty year old son to Paris. Without anything added you have a viable idea right there. On paper. In fact all concerned contrive to snatch a suet pudding from the jaws of a soufflé'. The chemistry on display between ANY two members of the cast would struggle to illuminate a Toc H lamp. The only reason I can think of for producing this is someone needed a tax write-off.

malcolmgsw There are a number of British films from the 1950s about Brits going on holiday to France.most of them are shot in black and white,studio bound with average casts.However this film is different in that it is shot in colour with Alec Guiness starring and is clearly shot in Paris.One other difference the films in black and white were entertaining but this one is dreadfully dull.You get the impression that the producers were relying a bit too much in the different personality traits of the French as if France is an exotic country despite being only 21miles away.The Eastman Colour photography is very pleasant and that is about as good as it gets for this rather dull affair.

bkoganbing In a recent biography of Alec Guinness I couldn't find too much about To Paris With Love. I'm sure Guinness did the film to get a free trip to Paris out of it. The film has no other reason for existence.Paris of course is nicely photographed with that wonderful opening of Guinness and his son driving down the Champs Elysee with the Arc De Triomphe in the background. Unfortunately it goes downhill from there.There is just no chemistry at all between Guinness and the young girl who he has a brief fling with in Paris. According to the recent biography of Guinness by Piers Paul Read, Guinness positively disliked the girl, found her conduct unprofessional. As to what Odile Vernois thought of her co-star, no record is available. They have as much chemistry as two neutered cats.Guinness does have a good moment in the film which was straight from one of his Ealing comedies as he climbs a tree trying to retrieve a badminton shuttlecock. But I wouldn't wait through the film for it.At least Alec got a trip to Paris out of the deal.
