Typhoon Over Nagasaki (1957)

Shot in color,with a comfortable budget for the time "Typhon sur Nagasaki" ,in spite of two great French actors is not only a disaster movie:it's also a disaster itself.After a first part,which drags on and on and on ,where Marais is torn between a French journalist and a Japanese in a folklore for tourists (complete with puppets,raw fish ,etc),the typhoon ,which anyone is expecting to enliven things a bit,was perhaps impressive at the time,but we've seen much better since and it's all terribly quaint for today's audience.

Typhon Sur Nagasaki is one of the most surprising masterpieces of the '50s.I wasn't expecting something so good,and so tasty.
