    • Trivia
      After Marlon Brando had finished his stage commitment to "A Streetcar Named Desire," Claude Autant-Lara wanted the young actor, who had not yet made a movie, for "The Red and the Black." He paid for Brando's transportation to Paris to meet with him. Although Brando loved the French capitol, plans for the movie were delayed, and the film was not made until 1954 with Gérard Philipe.

    Julien Sorel
    Many virtues . The first - maybe the accuracy to Stendhal message. The admirable chemistry between Gerard Philipe and Danielle Darrieux. And, not the less, the new Julien Sorel. Impressive for the nuances of a character escaping from the perspective about one side. Seductive for few scenes giving the essence of period. Serving profound humanism. A film with so many virtues ! One of them - the first steps of Antonela Lualdi. Not the best performance of her but a nice work .
