Woman Hater



Enjoy the charm...
What is charm? Charm is that charisma that draws you to a thing, that almost indescribable something that makes one buoyant and full of joy. Woman Hater is pure charm. Despite its rather dubious title, it is a romantic comedy and one of those pictures that they just don't make anymore. True, the plot or variations thereof have been used countless times in motion pictures; however, this one remains fresh and effervescent. The script is top-notch and the cast is so good and throws themselves into the proceedings with such élan that one cannot help but feel charmed by the entire affair. Stewart Granger is a wonderful comedian - with all of his dramatic roles and swashbucklers, one forgets how good and versatile this actor was. Edwige Feuillere, a great star of the Comedie Francaise, is Granger's leading lady - and what a lady she is! One is constantly amazed at Feuillere's performance - effortless and truly brilliant. These people could really act - not just read lines,...

Woman Hater
Good film. Early Stewart Granger. Maybe not as polished as current movies; but well worth watching. I enjoyed it a lot.
