9/1/2023 0 Comments Le passager de la pluie 1970![]() ![]() Jobert is great, sexy, vulnerable and defiant we may worry for the seemingly friendless Mellie, but she is never a victim. ![]() The stakes of this cat and mouse game are unclear…įor much of its length, Rider on the Rain is a two-handed play well handled by the leads. Slowly, everything Mellie knows about her life seems to be called into question. It seems to be working until the mysterious Harry Dobbs (Charles Bronson) turns up at a wedding, and everywhere she goes thereafter, mocking, flirtatious and menacing by turns, full of questions, but not a cop. She rather enterprisingly kills the bastard, but cannot face dealing with the police and elects to dump the body and hide the crime. Both are absent when a creepy stranger only she has seen breaks into her house and rapes her. But it’s raining in the pretty French coastal town she swings around, her mother is a bitter lush and her husband is an unbearable sexist prick. Mélancolie ‘Mellie’ Mau (Marlí¨ne Jobert) looks every inch the swinging 60s chick, a gamine with boyish red hair in a killer white plastic number and matching go-go boots.
