A Certain Smile tells the story of young Christina Carrere, student at the Sorbonne
who falls for the charming and middle-aged Rosanni Brazzi. Carrere is ostensibly
going out with fellow student Bradford Dillman who's about as French as Sessue
Hayakawa. Dillman still had a lengthy and good career after this debut. But a
faux pas at herparent's home cools things with Carrere and she's ripe for a rebound with charming Brazzi.
Joan Fontaine has a nice part in this film as Brazzi's patient and most tolerant wife. He alays comes home, but will she stop hearing him knock on the door.
The Best Thing about A Certain Smile is its theme and the best scene in the movie is Fontaine and Carrere going to a club to hear Johnny Mathis perform. That song was all over the radios in 1958 and no doubtsold many a movie ticket.
Hope the public got its money's worth.
