La fille aux yeux d'or (1961)
Love triangle.
I saw this film a long time ago. I cannot remember the whole plot in detail and I expected to find more here. Film depicts the love relationship sustained by two women until conflict breaks out when one of them falls in love with a man. The object of conflict is an extremely beautiful model played by Marie Laforêt. I would like to learn more about it. Many thanks.
Tiger Bay (1959)
The story of a lonely, abandoned girl.
I´m trying to straighten part of Anonymous´comments online. He (she) states that this movie was about (I say it still is) a young girl´s heart... The story of a lonely, abandoned girl (Hayley Mills at her best, which I agree). The fact is that this young girl --she appears to me around 12 years old-- is not abandoned neither neglected. Perhaps she is a war orphan but she lives with an aunt who is a seamstress and who takes care of her. They live in a modest apartment near the harbour, neighborhood in which Gillie, our heroine, has a lot of friends. She is also a member of the local church choir. On one occasion she appeared lonely and rejected because her playmates refused her joining their ongoing "indians and cowboys" play on the basis that she didn´t have a gun. She is a very sensitive and dreamy young girl that pays attention to other people´s lives. Peeping through a letterbox she watches a couple quarreling and witnesses the accidental death of the woman neighbor shot by her boyfriend whom she cheated on. The ensuing circumstances and the human quality involved enable the development of an extremely beautiful platonic love relationship between this young girl and an adult man. Gillie firstly befriends the Polish sailor (Horst Buchholz in a fine role) helps him by obstructing the police action against him and falls deeply in love with him. In spite of it all, he eventually loves her too. For sure, their love is what the film is about.
Please kindly amend the record. Many thanks
