This is an amazing classic; in addition to story and acting; costuming, sets, lighting, sound, dialogue, etc. To watch it right, one needs the DVD for convenient and immediate replays.
Well, everyone should see this movie, the pacing is perfect, something forgotten anymore. Good thing about the Studio System is the many films made, some had to make it to today. Thankyou to the restorers, with their dedication we can still enjoy these flicks. My brother will not watch any B&W film, drives me crazy, he does'nt know what he's missing.
Such a smart and beautiful actress. She’s one of the people I most admire. I wish I could’ve met Hedy Lamarr before she died. After learning what she did to help during World War Two, I recently decided to start watching her movies.
How many know that beautiful Hedy Lamarr invented communications technology in the 1940's that layed the groundwork for todays WiFi, Bluetooth and GPS?. Submitted to the military for jam proof radio control of torpedoes, shelved as too bulky and costly at the time.
danny le juste Dear Danny, You use the word Orientalist/ism, but when I use it, people scold me as racist. Why is the word scene this way? Do we have to change the name of Oriental rugs? Please inform me the truth.
@@Wanamaker1946"Orientalism" is used in critical studies in a very specific way. From Wikipedia: "In art history, literature and cultural studies, Orientalism is the imitation or depiction of aspects in the Eastern world. These depictions are usually done by writers, designers, and artists from the West....Since the publication of Edward Said's Orientalism in 1978, much academic discourse has begun to use the term "Orientalism" to refer to a general patronizing Western attitude towards Middle Eastern, Asian, and North African societies. In Said's analysis, the West essentializes these societies as static and undeveloped-thereby fabricating a view of Oriental culture that can be studied, depicted, and reproduced in the service of imperial power. Implicit in this fabrication, writes Said, is the idea that Western society is developed, rational, flexible, and superior." I highly recommend checking out Edward Said, no matter where you are from. -- he's brilliant. There's an interview with him about Orientalism here: ruclips.net/video/fVC8EYd_Z_g/видео.html
The character portrayed by Charles Boyer (1999 - 1978) in this movie Algiers did, according to popular legend, try to to seduce the character played by Hedy Lemarr (1914 - 2000) with the line, "Come with me to the Casbah" and while that line was in the trainer for the movie it is never uttered in the film itself. Boyer was born in France and by the early 1920s, he was a stage star mostly playing suave and sophisticated ladies men. His first film in 1920 was L'homme du large and he made a handful of silent movies in the early 1920s but really preferred stage work.However, the coming of sound his deep voice made him a romantic star. He was bought to Hollywood by MGM although his first English speaking role was in a Paramount picture in 1931, The Magnificent Lie. Boyer worked with most of the great actresses of the era including Claudette Colbert, Jean Harlow, Merle Oberon, Loretta Young, Katherine Hepburn, Marlene Dietrich, Bette Davis and Olivia de Havilland. Despite his glamorous image, Boyer began losing his hair early, had a pronounced paunch and was shorter than mots of his leading ladies. When Bette Davis first saw in on the set for All This, And Heaven Too (1940) she didn't recognise him and wanted him removed. He had one of his biggest hits in 1944 with Gaslight and by this time he was Warner's highest paid star but a film he did with Ingrid Bergman (1915 - 1982) in 1948, Arch Of Triumph was a flop and he career began to wane. He returned to the stage and again became a Broadway star while making the very occasional movie and appearing on TV. Boyer sadly committed suicide two days after his wife died. He was Oscar nominated four times for Best Actor (including for his role in this film) but never won - Conquest (1937), Algiers (1938), Gaslight (1944) and Fanny (1961). His character in this film, Pepe le Moko, was later to be the basis for the cartoon character Pepe Le Pew introduced in 1945.
@Russel Grenning : what about Pipi le Maquereau ('Pipi the Pimp' = original meaning of 'Pépé le Moko' in 'français petit nègre' ) featuring Jean Gabin (1937), an "actor" I always disliked and could not dislike more ?
Es una remake del film con Jean Gabin.Boyer primero perdio por suicidio a su hijo(por un desengaño amoroso);luego vio morir a su amada esposa de tda la vida...💔
Agreed. Ravishing. But not stuck on herself like Dietrich'. Has gentle empathetic manner . The most beautiful woman ever....well vivien leigh her near twin a good runner up.
FULL MOVIE and they don't make'um like this any more: "Algiers" (1938) HEDY LAMARR (born in Vienna Austria, 1914 with a different name too long for me to remember). This classic movie (a love story among thieves not knowing about each other when they met) was her lucky break offered to her, at about age 22(?), by the star (Charles Boyer) at a party, because this movie made her famous and a Hollywood idol that U.S. soldiers used as a pin up. She was so beautiful, and that movie resulted in other's imitating her look and hairstyle with the hair parted in the middle. She co-starred in the movie "Sampson and Delilah" that was second only to "Gone With the Wind." She was Jewish, asking her mother if that was true as a young girl, and hated Hitler. She was a genius inventor or idea person (with maybe a very little background education in engineering from a university in Vienna but just extremely inventive coming up with some innovative ideas as a beginning for others to develop). She did not know how she came up with ideas. For example: Radio controlled submarine torpedoes but the NAZI's radio jammed with radio-noise the radio signals. So afterwards came up with the "frequency hopping" idea for radio-controlled torpedoes that could not be jammed after radio signals were detected or hacked by the German NAZI U-boats. This idea is still used today in military technologies such as drones, gps, wi-fy and etc ... and even in sci-fi movies such against the Borg of Star Trek movies/series. Too bad she never!!! received any much needed money for her "frequency hopping" idea when she became poor and eventually died in old age poor. She believed in forgiveness stated before she passed away. America eventually stole her invention, and patient later giving it to someone else, referring to her as an "enemy alien," as she was not yet an American citizen. Aging, she even invented ideas used today regarding plastic surgery as in where to cut and leave the scars etc. Very!!! famous, but not as respected as Greta Garbo or Marlena Dietrich (Dietrich ... with cheeks and a jaw like mom ... is one of my favorite stars and was a wonderful human-being and humanitarian like so many Hollywood stars of those days. Dietrich, I recall seeing in the old movie "Sahara," wore a man's tuxedo during her song on stage and went to a table of the audience during her very unusual singing style and mouth-kissed a woman sitting at a table ... that was extremely controversial in those days even in movies. Dietrich was politically liberal and so cool even without trying.). In 1946, Hedy Lamarr produced with her own money the movie "The Strange Woman" that was not appreciated by a male dominated world and nation, and that was one of the reasons she became poor including investing in another or other movies that failed. She admitted she was not good at business.
@@Redplanetlover The producers of Blazing Saddles paid her for the use of her name, "Hedley Lamar". She married many times . That might be the reason that she was down on her luck in later life.
In 1997, Canadian company WiLAN signed an agreement with Lamarr to acquire 49% of the marketing rights of her patent, and a right of first refusal for the remaining 51% for ten quarterly payments. This was the only financial compensation she received for her frequency-hopping spread spectrum invention. A friendship ensued between her and the company's CEO, Hatim Zaghloul.[83]
Stars: Charles Boyer, Hedy Lamarr,Alan Hale, Director: John Cromwell Writers: James M. Cain An elusive jewel thief gambles his life for love when he meets a beautiful tourist in the mysterious Casbah. A True LOVE STORY Classic!
In the HBO series "Sex & the City" the question was raised of "Alive or Dead, what actor would you like to make love to?" If I were in that room, I do feel to answer Hedy Lamarr would be a noble answer.
@@alef_19 Nope. Hedy was under contract to do three movies in a row. She could not do the part even if the director may have wanted her. Plus, Hedy could not have handled that complex role. Ingrid won three Oscars, Hedy did not win an Oscar, but did win, in 1949, the Least Cooperative actor award called the Sour Apple Award.
the Casbah line was in every cartoon and comedy skit after it got so over-used...so happy and funny those days. thank you for reminding me, but he never says that line exactly. It's fame was created by his fans later.
I saw some photos of Sigrid Gurie. Well you will be surprised to see how much she looked like Hedy Lamarr. I Heddy Lamarr looked so much like Sigrid. It must have been Holywood which absolutely transformed into whatever suited them.
Hedy Lamar will never be dust - she lives thru her work and inventions - she filed her many patents in names of male associates: both because she feared for her acting career but moreso because she knew they were good but would not even be considered if a woman submitted.
@@ellesmithfagan which is sad because she could’ve done so much more if her intelligence was valued by people back then. But mostly they chose to pay attention to her looks.
This is a great example of early Hollywood shameless and cheap piracy of foreign great films. It imitated Julien Duvivier's classic work of French poetic realism and great forerunner of film noir "Pépé le Moko". There were whole shots and sequences simply transposed, and then the bad imitations, like Boyer after Gabin. Also the beautiful original music was simply copied copiously. Watching "Algiers" after knowing "Pépé le Moko" really infuriates any person with good taste and artistic honesty. The most criminal act of this forgery was the ending. The original film ends in suicide of Pépé, but the cheap moralistic worldview of Hollywood at that time changed it to Pépé shot at the end trying to run to see Gaby for the last time.
Leave it to the American to want to go rushing into the Casbah with guns blazing, conducting a house to house search. Hah. I just watched Hedy Lamarr in "Ecstacy" and she was very good. She was beautiful but like some of the other comments, she had a very creative mind and was intelligent. A somewhat rare combination. Women still show little interest in science and technology creation in high school but I gather that is changing.
Allah be praised ....he is still with us.....1:15...omar kiam himself......but who turned him into a wardrobe has me mystified.....maybee miss gurie knows....maybee it was all that drinking....what a sap. but if i came back as hedy lamarrs wardrobe.....id be a very happy lump of wood......very pleased indeed.
Weird movie, bad unpleasant unhappy ending. I shouldn't watched it. It was sort of curious beginning, was waiting and waiting and waitingl for culmination only to see bad ending! Very strange since even after precode it was a rule for all movies to have a good ending! Don't waste your time! Too many problems now, we want to get away from all that by watching a good cheerful movie, not that trash! Can't stand French accent either!😖
This was ok. Hedy was good. But the French police Chief and Pepe's fat hench man were stock characters out of US gangster films. Really let the film down. Also Pepe's local girlfriend was too beautiful to explain why he was so easily swayed.
Excellent copy, which BEAUTIFUL & BRILLIANT actress and inventor, BRIGHT STAR Hedy Lamarr would appreciate very much. Thx a lot for the upload.
After Pierrot's death, "Well, he's closed his umbrella."
A great line !
Lamarr is fabulously beautiful of course. Love her light Viennese accent but not stuck on herself like other movie queens...her acting style and portrayal here has a gentle empathetic manner and she doesn't seem to realize how beautiful she is ( both character and actress) and Boyer....what can one say- his voice alone.... he played playboys galore but was faithful to his wife for 44 years..
Lucky woman! The two leads drip with sensous glamour
Thx. for that masterpiece of those days. I was a little boy then, and heard everyone praising "Pépé le moco " .
This is an amazing classic; in addition to story and acting; costuming, sets, lighting, sound, dialogue, etc. To watch it right, one needs the DVD for convenient and immediate replays.
