| Nous sommes deux sœurs jumelles/Nées sous le signe des Gémeaux. Though in reality Françoise was a year older than Catherine, that didn't stop Jacques Demy from casting the Dorléac sisters as twins Solange and Delphine Garnier (born under the sign of Gemini) in the deliciously wonderful Les Demoiselles de Rochefort from 1967. The 'manly dame' in the alt-text clue (which I suspect inspired many to submit Hedwig and the Angry Inch) refers to Michel Piccoli's character Simon Dame, whom Danielle Darrieux doesn't marry for fear of being known as Madame Dame. Much lighter than his previous musical, the romantic weepie Les Parapluies de Cherbourg, The Young Girls of Rochefort is a playful, campy romp that finds a handful of characters (including Gene Kelly!) finding love and song in the streets of Rochefort (while shilling for Honda no less.) With a great score by regular collaborator Michel Legrand, the film might just be the best musical of the decade. (Please, no hate mail from members of The Sound of Music fan club.) Congrats to the few that managed to guess it. This week: They're not pop stars, but it shouldn't be hard to ID this quartet. Name the film. Submit your answers to this address. Good luck! |
