3.0 out of 5 stars The Road to Ridicule, 6 Feb 2007
By Trevor Willsmer (London, England) - See all my reviews
(TOP 50 REVIEWER)      

The Road to Corinth aka Who's Got the Black Box is an unashamedly ridiculous film that just happened to catch me in exactly the right frame of mind. This French spy spoof from 1967 sees Claude Chabrol in surprisingly playful mood and Jean Seberg once again demonstrating her ability to speak French without a trace of a French accent as a spy's widow out to uncover a plot by `the enemy' that no-one seems overeager to discover and prove her innocence. Maurice Ronet plays straight man, Michel Bouquet smirks a lot while eating Turkish Delight, Brando's, ahem, close personal friend Christian Marquand pops up as a motorbike riding, sardine-loving truck driver and Chabrol himself cameos as an informer disguised as a Greek Orthodox priest. The camerawork is much more visually imaginative and ambitious than usual for Chabrol and a world away from his subsequently more refined and unostentatious approach, and any spy film that begins with a magician being interrogated after they find one of a series of radar jamming black boxes among the doves and rabbits in his car can't be all bad. Did I mention the assassin in a white straw hat with a taste for reading women's magazines while waiting for his victims or the bouzouki-dancing henchman? It's a very minor addition to Chabrol's oeuvre, but it's a lot more engaging than some of his more serious efforts.

Pathfinder's DVD is not a great transfer by any means, offering a somewhat grainy standards conversion with less than perfect subtitles, and is extras free unless you count a couple of brief pages of biography and a few frame grabs masquerading as a stills gallery, but it's just about acceptable for a Chabrol completist who isn't expecting too much.
