Boudu sauvé des eaux.
This is a remake of Renoir's movie "Boudu sauvé des eaux".It seems that nobody saw it ,which is too bad!
shareif the movie mentioned was in french...then i'm not terribly surprised...but if i ever come across it, i might watch it...even tho i greatly prefer bette midler
share"Boudu sauvé des eaux" is a play not a movie.
shareIt is a French film [a very old one].
As much as I like Paul Mazursky and Nick Nolte, they don't match up to legendary director Jean Renoir and the incomparable Michel Simon. Down and Out in Beverly Hills had it's decent moments, but Boudu Saved From Drowning is a terrific film!
"I think that silent films got a lot more things right than talkies." --Stanley Kubrick
Yes it is based on Boudu, by Renoir, but with a twist. In the original, Michel Simon pretends to drown a second time to escape the bourgeois family, at the very end of the film.
In the Mazursky version, Nick Nolte comes back to live with them in the final scene.
