4.0 out of 5 stars Two love stories, four excellent European Actors 23 Jan 2002
By A Customer
Format:VHS Tape
This was the film that Jules Dassin directed before regaining his popularity with such movies like Never On Sunday and Top Kapi,in the 60's.
This movie is about two couples who live in a Italian village. The first couple is about Gina Lollobrigida, as Marietta,who wants to marry enginneer Enrico, a rather poor guy, played by Marcello Mastoianni.
Yves Montand is playing Matteo, the crime boss of the little italian village, who wants Matietta for himself, and he is trying to get her.
The second couple is about the judge's wife,Donna Lucrezia, who is played by the beautiful Melina Mercouri, a woman trapped to a marriage with an older man. She falls in love with Matteo's son,Francesco, played by Raf Mattioli.
This a movie about passions under the hot Italian sun, where the unspeakable law of the powerfull people resolve to tragedies and tears.
The good with this movie, is that it has a beautiful cast. Yves Montand, Marcello Mastroianni and Melina Mercouri are excellent as always. Gina Lollobrigida ties her best...and that's more than enough.
The direction of Jules Dassin is very good, the only thing that is really annoying and may make you not wanting to see this black and white poetry at all is that someone has decided that the voices of Mercouri, and Mastroianni were not good enough, and they have been covered by voices of other actors. Also, although I like the movie very much, I have to admitt, that some times it seems rather dated, in some scenes.

5.0 out of 5 stars Strange fish of a movie 18 Aug 2000
By A Customer - Published on Amazon.com
Format:DVD
What a wonderful cast of actors (good grief: even the son of the director, Joe Dassin , later known as a very popular singer in France, has a small part..)and what strange going-ons in this plot involving the games of power in a (otherwise lovely and peaceful) Italian fisherman's village. It is corny at time , gripping at others,with beautiful camera shots and a never flagging smoldering action, as the heat builds on in the village as well as on the screen.But why did AMAZON list this movie as being Italian spoken, when the version I received is actually in French?

4.0 out of 5 stars Lollobrigida in top form 16 Jan 2007
By R. de Aquino - Published on Amazon.com
Format:DVD
THE LAW/WHERE THE HOT WIND BLOWS shows Gina Lollobrigida at 31, in top form both as a beautiful woman and as an actress. God, how gorgeous she was, and how hot, sensual, desirable is her Marietta! No wonder every man in town lusts after her! The whole cast is wonderful: Mastroianni, Mercouri, Montand, Stoppa and the great Pierre Brasseur. Jules Dassin's direction does justice to the Vailland novel, for the most part. It is urgent to restore this film and release it in DVD format with extras, including a competent critical commentary.

5.0 out of 5 stars The Law 21 Jun 2010
By R Zern - Published on Amazon.com
Format:DVD
I really enjoyed watching The Law. The storyline was great, and I loved the occasional tidbits that were so unexpectedly hilarious. The theme about who was really considered "the law" and the person with all the power was extremely entertaining. Gina Lollabrigida (Marietta) was fantastic! I loved her character's attitude. She knew what she wanted, and she knew how to get what she wanted. The many different plots and characters were all very enjoyable and interesting. And in the end, it is very clear who the person is that has all the power in the city.

I absolutely loved the movie and was highly entertained! I'm so glad that it's finally being distributed for a wide release in the US! There's love, sex, power, drama, and death! with the occasional hilarity and musical number. What more could you ask for in a movie?
