"Male Hunt" ("La Chasse a L'Homme") (1964) was a film I was curious to see all these years. The captivating comedy has a number of amusing twists and turns. It concerns a young man (Jean-Claude Brialy) determined to get married despite efforts of some people to dissuade him including Claude Rich and Jean-Paul Belmondo. Catherine Denueve, Marie Laforet and Francoise Dorleac are some of the girls. Dorleac is extremely good here, she has never been better. Her death is truly a loss for us all. Everyone gives a great performance, no face is wasted as directed by Edouard Molinaro (who later directed "La Cage Aux Folles"), who has a very good eye for comedy. "Male Hunt" is at times brilliant. The opening sequence is breathtaking. Cinematography is by Adreas Winding. Definitely a plus for Molinaro, nearly as funny as "La Cage Aux Folles" more than a decade before. Deserving of an American home video release, please.
