    • 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.

    Good!
    A very good screening of Stendhal's novel. Danielle Darrieux and Antonella Lualdi are of great beauty. Gérard Philipe has his charm, but his best film is "Fanfan la Tulipe" (1952) directed by Christian-Jaque. Claude Autant-Lara has made many other very good films, such as "Four Bags Full" (1956) and "Love Is My Profession" (1958).
