I saw "The Night of the Following Day" yesterday. I'd heard, and expected, it to be typical of Marlon Brando's "stinky sixties" period, when he was just showing up for the check. The hype on this film was totally wrong! It's a period gem!Richard Boone and, especially, Rita Moreno more than hold their own with Brando. It's refreshing to see the Method man taking something of a backseat to Boone, at least until the very end. And what an end it is---genuinely suspenseful and a true twist which I didn't see coming.Brando plays, and plays well a sympathetic character among a cast of three-dimensional portrayals. The film is imaginatively photographed; 1969 Paris serves as an attractive backdrop for a movie that gives better than it got from critics at the box office.At five bucks for the DVD or less than that for the video, give "The Night of the Following Day" a chance. It's a good late night or rainy afternoon movie. You won't be disappointed.
