 | I think some people missed the broader scope of what this movie was tyring to say. Yes, it's sort of a bad movie but the point it trys to make is quite interesting. The dysfunctional impotent baron/nazi who kills because of his own inadequacies. |

| I've just received my DVD of Bluebeard.
The ONLY highlights were the gorgeous women. Other than that, the storyline is very average and Burton's acting was VERY WEAK for an Actor of his calibre. This was not the right movie for Burton, who should have declined it, when he read the script.
Dissapointing and not a movie I would recommend anyone buying.
Anyone looking for a second-hand copy ( 2 days old) ??

| Though this wretched movie is not the nadir of Richard Burton's career (check out "The Klansman" for that dubious distinction), it comes mighty darn close. The script, the acting and the general tone of this movie is beyond repulsive, it is tawdry, inane and ultimately, quite pathetic. However, there is one overwhelmingly redeeming feature to "Bluebeard:" it is so bad it is unintentionally hilarious! Burton sleepwalks through this silly film with a cheap, stick-on goatee. As always, he overacts to a ridiculous degree and one eternally wonders why his directors never took him aside and said, "Richard, you don't need to scream every single line." Alas, Burton is magnificently dreadful here, his attempts at lovemaking become bombastically embarrassing to watch, his few, brief attempts at some decent acting are wickedly futile. One real-life moment to ponder: following one love scene with one of the no-name Italian starlets, the director yelled, "cut!" but Burton and the starlet continued kissing and then walked off the set to Burton's waiting limousine. Hmmm, where was Liz? This is a great movie to enjoy with a few beers and a readiness to make fun of every scene and hurl collective invective against Richard Burton. If you are up to the challenge, then "Bluebeard" is your movie. |

| I loved Joey Heatherton's performance. I strongly agree with the cover which says "Richard Burton stars in this fantastic tale with some of the most beautiful women in cinematic history, including Raquel Welch and Joey Heatherton" (and some fantastic European actresses such as Virni Lisi, Nathalie Delon, Karin Schulbert, Agostina Belli, and Sybil Danning). "Baron Kurt Von Sepper (Burton) is an Austrian aristocrat who lives in austere obscurity in a large castle. He has married his seventh wife (Heatherton), to whom he seems ardendly attached. One day, she finds a mysterious golden key which gives access to a secret passage where she finds her husdand's previous wives. It is then that the Baron recounts to her the horrid and bizarre details of his past. It remains to Heatherton to fight for her survival and to avoid becoming just another beautiful frozen body." I strongly recommend this movie. |
