José Ferrer and Zsa Zsa Gabor in Moulin Rouge (John Huston, 1952)

Cast: José Ferrer, Colette Marchand, Zsa Zsa Gabor, Suzanne Flon, Claude Nollier, Katherine Kath, Muriel Smith, Theodore Bikel, Peter Cushing, Christopher Lee. Screenplay: Anthony Veiller, John Huston, based on a novel by Pierre La Mure. Cinematography: Oswald Morris. Production design: Marcel Vertès. Film editing: Ralph Kemplen. Music: Georges Auric. 

If Moulin Rouge had a screenplay worthy of its visuals, it would be a classic. As it is, it's still worth seeing, thanks to a stellar effort to bring to life Toulouse-Lautrec's paintings and sketches of Parisian nightlife in the 1890s. The screenplay, by Anthony Veiller and director Huston, is based on a novel by Pierre La Mure, the rights to which José Ferrer had purchased with a view to playing Lautrec. He does so capably, subjecting himself to some real physical pain: Ferrer was 5-foot-10 and Lautrec was at least a foot shorter, owing to a childhood accident that shattered both his legs, so Ferrer performed many scenes on his knees, sometimes with an apparatus that concealed his lower legs from the camera. But that is one of the least interesting things about the movie, as is the rather conventional story of the struggles of a self-hating, alcoholic artist. What distinguishes the film is the extraordinary production design and art direction of Marcel Vertès and Paul Sheriff, and the dazzling Technicolor cinematography of Oswald Morris. Vertès and Sheriff won Oscars for their work, but Morris shockingly went unnominated. The most plausible theory for that oversight is that Sheriff clashed with the Technicolor consultants over his desire for a palette that reproduced the colors of Lautrec's art: The Technicolor corporation was notoriously persnickety about maintaining control over the way its process was used. It's possible that the cinematography branch wanted to avoid future hassles with Technicolor by denying Morris the nomination. (Ironically, one of the more interesting incidents from Lautrec's life depicted in the film involves his clashes with the lithographer over the colors used in posters made from his work.) The extraordinary beauty of the film and some lively dance sequences that bring to life performers such as La Goulue (Katherine Kath) and Chocolat (Rupert John) make it memorable. There are also good performances from Colette Marchand as Marie Charlet and Suzanne Flon as Myriamme Hayam. And less impressive work from Zsa Zsa Gabor, playing herself more than Jane Avril, and lipsynching poorly to Muriel Smith's voice in two songs by Georges Auric.

Day 87- Film: Moulin Rouge 

Release date: December 23rd, 1952. 

Studio: Romulus Films 

Genre: Drama 

Director: John Huston 

Producer: John and James Woolf 

Actors: Jose Ferrer, Zsa Zsa Gabor, Suzanne Flon, Colette Marchand 

Plot Summary: This is a snapshot of the life of famous French artist Toulouse-Lautrec. We see him grow up crippled, hang around Paris’ seedy nighttime haunts, work as an artist, and drink to numb the pain of being disabled. 

My Rating (out of five stars): *** ½  

This is another film that falls into the “mixed” category for me. There are some things I really liked about it, and some things that just didn’t work. I don’t know that I would wholeheartedly recommend seeing it, but it’s worth seeing if you have some interest in Toulouse-Lautrec or Paris of the 1890s. 

The Good: 

The art. We see a lot of Toulouse-Lautrec's artworks- finished works, things in progress, and lots of shots of him looking at things that inspired him. We even get moments of the people in some of his paintings and drawings coming to life. That was my favorite part of the film. 

The color. Supposedly Housten wanted the film to look like Toulouse-Lautrec directed it, and he was very specific in his use of color. This is technically Technicolor, but you might easily not guess it. The brightness of the normal colors was dimmed down and there was often almost a watercolor feel to it. I prefer the more vivid bright Technicolor, but I really liked this in the context of this film. 

The effects to make Ferrer look much shorter generally worked. Obviously there was no CGI back then, but the film did pretty well, considering all the constraints of the era. 

The overhanging sense of tragedy and despair. This wasn’t a film that tried to romanticize his life- for the most part (we’ll get to that!). The despair contrasted well with the life and vivacity in his work. 

There was some glimpse of the reality of his lifestyle. We never directly hear that one of the women he is around is a prostitute, but it’s hard not to infer it. 

Some witticisms in the script. There were lots of good quips and snappy comebacks that I found enjoyable. 

It looked more modern than nearly any film I’ve seen so far from 1952. If you had showed me a clip out of context, I would probably guess it was from the mid to late 1960s. The color looked a lot like later versions, and the subject matter was more adult in a lot of ways as well. 

The Bad: 

Zsa Zsa and lip synching! I’ve never really understood Gabor’s appeal at all, and I found her annoying in this. Then add in the atrocious and obvious lip-synching, and I hated it. I wanted to fast forward through all her singing scenes. 

I didn’t always like Ferrer’s portrayal. He played it really guarded and kind of emotionally blank at times. Sometimes this worked, given Toulouse-Lautrec's need for self-protection, but sometimes I wished he showed more emotion. This was true for a lot of his line delivery as well. 

His mother in the film was younger than he was! It was crazy. They also didn’t seem to know how to properly age the actress who played her. Instead of going for wrinkles, they seemed to decide, “Let’s make her skin more and more grey! Put more circles under her eyes! She should look like a zombie!” It didn’t work, and it was distracting. 

The way they tried to make it all about women. Most films- especially of this era- base everything around a love story. Toulouse-Lautrec didn’t have a “normal” romantic life, given his deformity, and it felt like the film was just shoving women at him to try and make his love life more traditional in the biography sense. Couldn’t they make the film more about other areas of his life? 

The romance? I’m not sure if Myriamme Hyam really existed, but I’m pretty sure she didn’t. It just wasn’t believable. I didn’t buy it in the movie, and I wouldn’t buy it in real life either. The actors also didn’t have much chemistry, I felt. 

Some of the fictionalizing tried to put too nice of a bow on things. Of course, there were no obvious prostitutes, and we never hear about the syphilis he had that contributed to his death. Did he really find out just before he died that his art was going to hang in the Louvre? And did his father openly admit he was wrong about his son’s work? Some of it seemed a little too rosy. 

[ulrichgebert]

Das wirkt jetzt wie vergleichende Studien. Außer dem gemeinsamen Titel/Schauplatz, dem unverzichtbaren Can-Can und daß es sich beide Filme hätten leichter machen können, wenn sie einen kleineren Schauspieler als Toulouse-Lautrec geheuert hätten, hat John Hustons Moulin Rouge nicht allzuviel gemein mit Baz Luhrmanns. Es ist eine leidlich seriöse und sehr elegant gefilmte Künstlerbiographie in gedämpftem Technicolor. Auch schön.
