The April Fools (1969)

£0.00


Country: US
Technical: col/scope 95m
Director: Stuart Rosenberg
Cast: Jack Lemmon, Catherine Deneuve, Myrna Loy, Charles Boyer

Synopsis:

After unwittingly picking up his boss's wife at a party and spending the night with her, a Wall Street broker falls in love, and together they decide to make a go of it and run away to Paris.

Review:

Loy and Boyer play a devotedly married older couple, who inspire our lovers to leave their unhappy marriages in a kind-of paradoxical contrivance. This is more bluesy than comedic, Lemmon in that disenchanted vein he does so well, and Rosenberg doesn't quite have the light touch this needs either. Consequently, the film can only go downhill from the opening 'meetcute' (detestable phrase).
