The Comedians (1967)
7/10
When the whole country collapse by Dictatorship Papa Doc and the Comedians!!!
31 March 2019
Just imagine, Richard Burton, Liz Taylor, Alec Guinness, Peter Ustinov, Lillian Gish among others important actors on supporting casting, should be a great picture, Haiti now on hands of the François Duvalier well-know as Papa Doc, but the plot is focused as Greene call "The Comedians" a cynical hotel's owner, an unfaithful of ambassador wife, his husband already accustomed with her infidelity by many years, a true lier Major Jones a dubious character who sells his his mother by a penny only and couple of the major politician as nominee candidate who running for US's chairmanship, all those people were involved by spy network by Tontons a sort of political police on Papa Doc's interest, by far the most intriguing and interesting role is Major Jones, where the end justify the means, flopped in box office the picture remains with just a small appealing, even Liz Taylor saves the picture, not totally unprovided of interest concerning Haiti's history that poverty and misery still sadly remains today!!
