Too much of everything
Good story, Not enough for a whole film
It’s an especially fun movie from a director and cast who are clearly having a good time allowing themselves to let loose.
Through painfully honest and emotional moments, the movie becomes irresistibly relatable
This movie is not a good one but a very special movie to me is not only the mature Audrey Hepburn in this one but is the very beautiful and fantastic Romy Schneider any movie with a cast like this should be better but doesnot matter you will love it , plus is Maurice Ronet a major international star he too die young, Romy at this time was a big international super star and one of the most beautiful women in this planet i am sorry for Audrey but i love Romy much more sadly she die young and have a tragic life, Romy was mainly an European star at this point but what surprise me the most is that many of the people written a review doesn't mention her name please she was as beautiful and important as Audrey Hepburn was
Sidney Sheldon's 'Bloodline' is an unmitigated turkey with a cast including the late beloved Audrey Hepburn, Ben Gazzara James Mason, Omar Sharif Irene Pappas and Gert(Goldfinger) Frobe, with a cast like this you would think you would be watching a top notch international classic, sadly this is not to be.The film has Audrey Hepburn who is the daugbter of a wealthy pharmaceuticals magnate who is mysteriously murdered, Hepburn then becomes heir to the family's fortune with all of her estranged siblings who try to get a piece of the family fortune. the plot sounds good well not really you are reasonably entertained for ninety minutes. 'Bloodline' is a mess most notably thanks to Omar Sharifs rather inept performance as a playboy who has a string of sons and daughters this stupid subplot seems edited from another film, Poor Audrey Hepburn has little to do but look terrified and at the same time look really stunning in her collective fashions from Givenchy. all in all if your looking for a time waster please feel free to watch the newly released DVD with no extra's whatsover the DVD back cover clearly has a scene not included it is that of a wedding scene with Mason and Hepburn.
Regarding "Sidney Sheldon's Bloodline", I'd like to correspond to Paramount and inquire why not re-edit the film (remaster), and create a SPECIAL EDITION, maybe with deleted scenes (with Ursula Buchfellner and Eleonore Melzer, which were cut), and commentary. I read parts of the book, and like the book, but the movie, when I watched it in the theater back in 1979, it made no sense, and was confusing, particularly with the Snuff films. The book lets you know WHY these films are created, as with the movie, you wonder why?! OR: remake the movie the way the book is! Great cast, but overall, movie STINKS! Anyway, anybody know the address to write to Sidney Sheldon so I can ask him?! Thank you.
Compared to some of the Harold Robbins or Jackie Susann movies, this is not much better but its not much worse either. At least there is an international cast of talented actors at work. Granted, some of them are along only as ornaments..anyway, I saw this the weekend it opened in Times Square and have fond memories of it. Seen now, it does not offer much to the serious moviegoer and is not campy enough to laugh at (unless the thought of Michelle Phillips getting her knees nailed to the floor is your idea of fun) but some of the reviews make it sound downright offensive, which it isn't. It is probably assumed this is the worse movie Audrey Hepburn ever appeared in and I am sorry that it was a contractual obligation for her that she did not want to fulfill.
