Review of The Road to Corinth (1967) by Stephen C — 25 Jul 2010
Master Director Claude Chabrol is at his most playful here with elements of Hitchcock and Stanley Dones 60s thrillers thrown into a Greek mix which makes the film thrilling and by turns funny.
The director even appers in a viatl and of course funny cameo part.
The plot is fairly straightforward With Jean Seberg becoming involved in her dead husbands spying for the French.
What makes the film fun ,is the set pieces and the characters which include a White suited straw boater wearing killer ,A Turkish Delight selling secret agent and a large lady as a hit woman.
Add to that a marblehead full of electric gizmos and a Pre credit sequence involving a magician and a car full of rabbits and doves and you have one the directors more fun works.
