in one respect and it like the wizard of oz and with paris in black and white and the riviera in color . but it supposedly about possessive love and destructiveness and moral decadence and while actually be about designer gown and shot of the riveria and lot of big expensive car and and music and dance interlude that suggest vincente minnelli on one of his off day . watchable and but a remarkable example of desperate and dark plot material and glitzy style heading in opposite direction . ( be this the model for the talented mister ripley . do anyone sense an affinity between jean seberg and matt damon . ) .
