On the verge of starvation in 1930s Paris, erstwhile entertainer Victoria (Julie Andrews) is rescued by gay cabaret performer Toddy (Robert Preston). What she needs to succeed, opines Toddy, is a gimmick. What if she becomes a male impersonator? Better still: what if she becomes a male impersonator, pretending to be a female impersonator? As “Victor/Victoria,” s/he becomes the toast of Paree, and an object of fascination for big-time Chicago gangster King Marchan (James Garner), who can’t quite understand the teasing sensations he experiences whenever watching her in action-especially since he, like everyone else, assumes that she is a he. Enjoyable though the stars of Blake Edwards’ comedy may be, the film is stolen by Lesley Ann Warren, who won an Oscar nomination as King’s screechy-voiced moll, and Alex Karras as King’s chief henchman, who, assuming that his boss is “that way,” literally comes out of the closet. Victor/Victoria was a remake of the 1931 German film Viktor und Viktoria, which had previously be reworked in 1937 as the Jessie Mathews vehicle First a Girl. In 1996, Victor/Victoria was transformed into a Broadway musical, again directed by Edwards and starring Andrews. (Credit: Yahoo Movie )

The Searchers.” One of the greatest films by director John Ford, which means one of the greatest films ever, “The Searchers” (1959) tells a harrowing tale about obsession and racial hatred. The villain-hero is John Wayne, working for the director who best used his talents. His co-star is a young Natalie Wood, whose fate is in his hands. “Wayne is fascinating for his sheer hardness,” the New York Times wrote of this film. “There’s no kindness in his nature – he is crafty and arrogant and his eyes are cold as ice.” John Ford is a superb film technician, focusing on each shot, each angle, each camera movement. But what make his films so moving is their emotional honesty and the integrity of his storytelling. “The Searchers” is as much melodrama as western. If Ford had shot it in Los Angeles instead of Monument Valley it would be a classic of film noir.

You have never seen a movie like “The Umbrellas of Cherbourg.” From the instant it begins — in a garage! — with the mechanics bursting into song, you know you’re in for something magical.

Whether you love musicals or opera, Paris or romance – or even if you’re a curmudgeon…this movie will melt you.

“Simply the most romantic film to come from France in the 1960s,” critics Nick Martin and Marsha Porter said. “Watch this with someone you love.”

This is the film that made Catherine Deneuve a star.

Director Jacques Demy, who would later make the equally wonderful “Les Demoiselles de Rochefort,” created one of the brightest films of all time, filled with saturated color and cool 1960s fashion. Michelle Legrand, one of the world’s great movie composers, provided a score that will leave you humming in French for days afterwards.

We’ve been getting good crowds for the Cerrito Classics recently but we don’t often show something French – or quite as classic as this. Don’t miss it.
