“I watch movies for specific reasons. I donu0026#39;t always look for such things as a plot. What did I get out of u0026quot;Cold Sweatu0026quot;?u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eFirst, a reminder to mix business AND pleasure. The gentlemen who produced this could have filmed in New Jersey. Rather, they chose the south of France. Good choice! Beaulieau-sur-Mer in the south of France, as well as the lovely French countryside way down south.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eCharles Bronson pumped up, as usual. It appears that he does a set of push-ups before every scene. Heu0026#39;s cut, in a black T-Shirt for the whole film. And heu0026#39;s not in his famous revenge mode. Here, he calculates. And expresses himself, emotionally. See the quote section…u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eTerrance Youngu0026#39;s direction. Yes, the early Bond-film director is at his bond-vivant! best, with rich panoramas and an eye for pretty things. Iu0026#39;ll have another, garson.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eNice Airport and a really cool 1970 hair salon. Think Korova milk bar ala Clockwork Orange.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eOld French cars from the late 60u0026#39;s. Those Citroens are cool. And that off-roading experience in that red sedan was hilarious. Also, the close-up of the bias-ply tire folding over…priceless.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eFinally, attractive leading ladies.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eIf you can find this movie, watch it! I found my DVD at Fleet Farm coupled with another Bronson movie, u0026quot;Chinou0026quot; for the reasonable charge of $4.99.”
