In French 'The Avengers' are 'Chapeau Melon & Bottes de Cuir' - a much better title for the adventures of John Steed & Emma Peel don't you think?! We've just finished the first black & white series with Diana Rigg and have started the second box set of the next series in colour. I'm not sure whether I prefer the black & white episodes with their wacky plots and clever dialogue or the 60s colours in the next series.
for once, french title is not bad...
ReplyDeletei didn't know about this movie but i do like what it's called in french! i 'll try to see if i can find the copies here, i love black&white films form the 50s and 60s!
ReplyDeletehi hiki - it's actually not a film but a VERY british tv series from the 60s :)
ReplyDeleteOH.
ReplyDeleteEMMA PEEL !
Each time I watch The Avengers I want to be an english girl in the 60's...

that's interesting. in german, it's called 'mit schirm, charme und melone' - with umbrella, charm and bowler hat (chapeau melon :-)
