The Black Tulip (1964 Film)
''The Black Tulip'' (French: ''La Tulipe noire'') is a French-Italian-Spanish film which reused some names in the novel of the same title by Alexandre Dumas but its story does not follow the novel. It is, essentially, a star vehicle for the popular French actor Alain Delon. Like the popular European Karl May movies of the same time, the script actually used only the main characters of a popular novel, but didn't stick to the original story.

Julien is much more gentler and idealistic than his brother. While the impersonation goes well at first, Julie ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
