Comedy provided courtesy of Eddie Quillan, Lowery’s fellow ranger who in one scene plays checkers with himself for well over five minutes, or what seems like it, his moves on either side of the board assisted by the knowing nods or disapproving shakes of his dog’s head. It does take a while, but even so, to fill out the running time, the film still needs some comedy mixed in with the suspense, which is minor to begin with. But when Toomey’s character shows his true colors, kills two people, and takes Drew with him on the lam, Lowrey is there to aid and assist and eventually pick up the pieces. Lowery bows out gracefully, or at least his character does. Regis Toomey, that is, and you know immediately, once he walks into the room, that he’s an out-and-out no-good-nik. He, of course, has waited to long to make his affection in this regard known, and she has already married another. Lowery plays a stalwart but not exceedingly bright park ranger, or shall we say not terribly swift on the uptake, who when he gets a promotion, finally asks his girl (Ellen Drew) to marry him. Robert Lowery may have been the nominal star of this film, but it’s the villain of the piece, played exceedingly well by Regis Toomey, who takes home the acting honors, and by a landslide. Robert Lowery, Ellen Drew, Regis Toomey, Eddie Quillan, Elisha Cook Jr. At least, this has been an opportunity to talk about books with her.DARK MOUNTAIN. Lying to her was out of the question anyway. (Half lie, I know…) I think she understood. I explained to her that sometimes we don’t like the book we read, that we can’t know it before. I told my daughter she couldn’t have known I wouldn’t like it and that it was sweet of her to give books to me. I spare you the footnotes to translate the English words.

If someone is interested in the translation, feel free to ask in the comments. “Tiger Trap va faire beaucoup de mal aux bad boys” “Matt Grit est un des meilleurs assets de la Company.” “Ces types sont la crème du Crime Organisé à Bangkok. So, here are little excerpts of Villiers’s fine “Frenglish” prose:

The language is terrible, full of English words and American expressions with footnotes for the translation (!!) I thought the French dictionary included enough words and insults to satisfy such a silly writer, but apparently not. I hope my daughter didn’t browse through page 43 where the first blow job is meticulously described. A book aimed at pleasing lobotomised male readers. Women are only objects, bought, used as sex toys. It is full of wicked Chinese and oriental torture methods, like cut fingers.

It’s like an indigestible lasagne dish: one layer of violence, one layer of sex, one layer of violence, etc. Malko Linge, who seem to be the recurring character of the series, is called upon by the CIA to clear this mess. The drug dealer made a prosecution deal and is to be extradited to the USA. The local CIA officer, Mike Herald is informed that Matt Gritt will be liberated if a drug dealer kept by the DEA in a drug traffic investigation is freed too. The plot is the following: In Thailand, the CIA agent Matt Gritt is kidnapped by Khun Sa. All crime fiction, I don’t know which genre, the one with spies, CIA, DEA, drug dealers and nasty dictators. When I type his name in the search engine of my online French bookstore, there are 420 results. Thankfully for Anglophone readers, his books haven’t been translated in English.

I have vivid memories of me, lying on my bed at my parents’ and urging myself “come on, only 50 pages left. It brought me back to school days, when I had to read books I found boring. She had read a few pages, thought it was very descriptive and that I would like it.įace to face with such a love as only children can give, I had no other solution as to read the book, which turned out to be, as expected, a painful experience.

She explained to me that she knew I wouldn’t like the cover but she chose it anyway because I enjoy reading crime fiction. I thought she had chosen it because of the cover, but no, the choice was even more thoughtful. A couple of weeks ago, my daughter picked up L’Otage du triangle d’or by Gérard de Villiers, while she was at the library with the nanny.
