Handlung
WUSSTEST DU SCHON:
- WissenswertesA very troubled production, this movie went way over budget and was a box-office flop when released. Director Blake Edwards used the experience of making this movie as the inspiration for the script to S.O.B. - Hollywoods letzter Heuler (1981).
- PatzerIn the "Cafe Can Can" scene the World War I American pilots are said to belong to an "Eagle Squadron" but that term was only used for Americans flying with the RAF in World War II.
- Zitate
Lili Smith: But then, why *does* he drink?
Maj. William Larrabee: Because he's afraid to fly.
Lili Smith: Then why does he fly?
Maj. William Larrabee: Because he likes to drink!
- Crazy CreditsThe Paramount Pictures logo does not appear in the beginning of the film, only at the end of the film.
- Alternative VersionenTwo decades after its original release, director Blake Edwards re-cut the film for the TNT network, shortening it by 22 minutes and dramatically changing its tone. This so-called "director's cut" runs 114 minutes.

Ausgewählte Rezension
Blake Edwards' "Darling Lili" is not a great film, but it is better than most people give it credit for. One of the most maligned productions in history (the aerial sequences took 2 years to film, the budget swelled to 3 times the original budget, various cuts of the film only add to the muddle), my final analysis is this: an underrated film whose reputation should soar once it's more widely seen.
This film exists in three versions: the original roadshow version (190 minutes)which Edwards disowned, the general release version (136 minutes)and Edwards' personal director's cut (113 minutes).
Tones shift between versions. The roadshow version had more talky sequences and was a numbing bore. The general release version deleted these sequences and was an improvement, but was still missing something. Edwards' cut was a great improvement. It is more serious in tone than the previous cuts, but the story concucted by Edwards and William Peter Blatty benefits from that approach. Julie Andrews is simply great as Lili, the singer/spy and her singing is at an all time high. Rock Hudson is excellent as her American pilot lover. Only after his inclination was exposed, did people take him seriously as an actor. But he was great all along. The songs by Henry Mancini and Johnny Mercer are strong as is the cinematography (by Russell Harlan, in Panavision)
Sadly, "Darling Lili" is not available on tape or DVD. But luckily for us, AMC shows this very often.
