I had just seen it for the first time, and was afraid my friend who has...um..certain resources...would forget to--um--make it available to me. But he did, he did.
I found all the acting, including Caron's. more than satisfactory. Morley and Aylmer are especially funny as two of the doctors ("stimulate the phagocites!" "Bah! A blackguard is a blackguard!") Boqarde is at his most delightful and easy as a gifted but COMPLETELY amoral artist. Oddly, his innocent wife knows all about it in a way. He only has two weaknesses, she says: money and women. Jane Austen says love and money are all there is, so I guess...that about covers it.
Yes, the technicolor is a bit brutal...
"Remember the burning bush?"
