Arthur Miller's play in a powerful Lumet film
12 March 2012
I saw this film in Montevideo, Uruguay, back in 1962. It was a subtitled version with English and Italian language. Not a word in french. The players were Raf Vallone (Italian) and Jean Sorel (French, but usually working in Italian films). Both characters, were Italian immigrants living and working in the Port of New York, and the other players were naturally Americans, like Maureen Stapleton and Carol Lawrence (the Broadway star of "West Side Story" in a rare appearance in films). So, the picture looked like an American film, directed on location in New York by Sidney Lumet, but somehow is featured like a French-Italian movie. There must be a French dubbed version as well as an Italian one, but the international version was indeed an English language version known as "A View from the Bridge" and not at all "Vu du pont". It was a powerful Lumet film, well acted and correctly adapted from the famous Miller's play.
