Bluebeard

This is considered a "bad" movie by many people for some reason, even though the "camp" here is obviously very intentional (he actually has a blue beard, for chistsake!) Burton's character is obviously gay: he meets and marries two American... Full review

In the past, I’d watched three other versions (four, if one includes Charles Chaplin’s variation MONSIEUR VERDOUX [1947]) about the famous fictional serial killer Landru – the 1944 Edgar G. Ulmer/John Carradine and 1963 Claude Chabrol/Charles Denner BLUEBEARD and the... Full review

It's almost impossible to find the words to describe exactly how bad this film is. Or to describe how much fun it was to watch. Bluebeard is the story of a German Baron (Richard Burton) who has a, well, blue... Full review

Enjoyable and campy fun featuring a number of beautiful women, most of whom go nude, a seductive score by Ennio Morricone, good old fashioned direction from Edward Dmytryk that stresses atmosphere and setting, and that uses the flashback structure to good... Full review

This film has been overlooked since it came out. It clearly isn't a masterpiece, but it has a great deal to offer to people with sense of humor. Burton is a little stiff as Bluebeard, but somehow this contributes to... Full review

I disagree with the reviewer who cannot spell Raquel Welch's name properly (spelled it Welsh). This movie is definitely twisted. What this movie lacks is is the Quentin Tarrantino treatment and thank goodness for that! None of the characters but... Full review

Richard Burton with his impressive skill and unforgettable voice surely did many more demanding and better roles than Baron Bluebeard. As limited as the role for him may have been, he really seems to make it his own and it's... Full review

"Bluebeard" is neither a masterpiece nor a memorable movie. It is an outdated film... Nevertheless, more than thirty years later, it is still entertaining and funny. Why?Because this 1972 version of the "Bluebeard" story -a wealthy charming psychopathic who kills... Full review

Although a bit slow at times, this movie is definitely worth watching. It's one of those "so strange it's good" films, that seemed to reach their pinnacle during the late sixties, early seventies. Richard Burton is a bit stiff, perhaps... Full review

This film has a lot of neat ideas, some beautiful women, and Burton as world-weary Baron with a campy, phony, middle-European accent. The script is clever and the sets are lavish, with Bluebeard's estate evoking E. A. Poe's Prince Prospero's:... Full review

Clearly, Dmytryk's best days were long behind him by Bluebeard 's time. Not even a sexy photo shoot (with Heatherton in her prime) can arouse the Baron, and Anne is left perplexed. ... Full Review

The film has some nice costumes and is beautifully photographed by cinematographer Gabor Pogany , but all the humor is unintentional and the actors, particularly Richard Burton all seem to wish they were elsewhere. Despite an array of beautiful women, including ( Virna Lisi ), (Nathalie Delon) and ( Raquel Welch ), nothing can distract from the abysmal performances of Burton and Heatherton . ... Full Review

In the vast, arid terrain of " Bluebeard ," which is not a very good movie, Joey Heatherton 's open mouth and her moist, inviting lips are an oasis. Joey Heatherton does something else in " Bluebeard " that is interesting. ... Full Review

It's no surprise that Breillat would attempt a feminist take on the grisly tale of Bluebeard, which British novelist Angela Carter very much made her own: while there's no explicit sourcing here of Carter's rewrite (in her 1979 collection The... ... Full Article
