Thank you
THE COMEDIANS

I LOVED THIS FILM BECAUSE IT IS PERHAPS THE ONLY ONE WITH A PORTRAL OF THE BRUTALITY OF THE "PAPA DOC" ERA IN HAITI.
IT WAS THE START OF THE LOVE AFFAIR BETWEEN ELIZABETH TAYLOR AND RICHARD BURTON AND YOU WILL SEE THE ATTRACTION BEFORE FILMING OF CLEOPATRA. A HATIAN FRIEND OF MINE SAYS THE VOO-DOO IS AUTHENTIC BUT HAD TO BE DONE IN AFRICA DUE TO GOVERNMENT OBJECTION. SUSPENSE, ROMANCE, INTRIG, IS ALL HERE. 
Worth an lazy afternoon watch

Has anything really changed in Haiti? I wonder. Shocker was I thought Taylor was imitating a FRENCH accent and turns out she is GERMAN!Didn't sound German at allOK movie if you lived thru that era which I did. Nothing special but for a lazy Sunday Afternoon....OK
Conscientious and dull
2004-04-17
A disappointment for Greene fans, or at least this one. I found this movie conscientious, slow and obvious, and the acting duo of Burton and Taylor didn't help. Burton's usual tired self loathing seemed phoned in. Taylor's lack of depth gave him nothing to play off of, assuming he was ready to try. She was so carefully made up and coiffed that one was always aware that it was a star turn for Taylor. And the movie is long. What would have been interesting, and might have made an effective movie although it would never have happened, would have been to cast Guinness in Burton's role and Burton in Guinness' role. Yes, Haiti was awful then. And, yes, Haiti is awful now. But no matter how serious the message, a movie's first responsibility is to be well made and effective. The Comedians tries way too hard to be "meaningful."
Amazing cast, fascinating adaptation of Graham Greene novel
2003-08-03
Echoing the same all-consuming desire that epitomized their mercurial off-screen reltaionship, Richard Burton and Elizabeth Taylor deliver superlative performances in this powerful drama of politics and passion. Adapting his own best-selling novel for the screen, distunguished author Graham Green delivers a devastating indictment of Haitian dictator "Papa Doc" Duvalier and his regime of terror. Starring: Elizabeth Taylor Alec Guinness Richard Burton Peter Ustinov From the novel by Graham Greene Co Starring: Paul Ford Lillian Gish Screenplay by Graham Green Produced and Directed by Peter Glenville
