Okay, so this one was a little different from what I've seen so far. The movie The Last Time I Saw Paris came out in 1954 starring Elizabeth Taylor. Now, if you live under a rock or are under the age of thirty, the only places you've really heard that name is the designer label and the name of Charlotte's dog on Sex And the City, but really she was a big time actress in those good old days. She stars in this movie as a rather mischievous little woman named Helen Elsworth who meets a man at a party in Paris celebrating France's end in WW II. The man she picks up, Charles, ends up falling madly in love with her and they get married after a few weeks.
The story is really more about Charles, played by Van Johnson, who's quick paced flashback is the majority of the film, showing his life go through struggle as he enters a self destructive state that is ended tragically. Though it was about 2 hours long and made me a little fidgety, the movies ending was worth the wait. The movie isn't rated and has nothing to worry about with kids. But really, it's the kind of movie you curl up and watch with a glass of tea on a rainy day.
You can watch this movie for free right on YouTube at http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=i-_lzupukFQ
Otherwise this movie can be found in black and white or color. The YouTube is color I believe.
Thanks again guys!
