Alain Delon in Joy House (1964)

Alain Delon in Joy House (1964) 

This was a joy to watch, not only are the three leads beautiful, (Jane Fonda is so alluring it hurts) but the psychological drama moves at a lightning pace, with snappy dialogs and constant mind games between the trio. I have to applaud for the film's ending, it is darkly comedic, horrific and successfully brings the film full circle without losing any dramatic momentum. It would be interesting to see this one being re-made, in good hands it would definitely be awesome! All in all, definitely worth checking out.
Mr. Delon is as dashing as ever here, I don't even mind that we didn't get to see his beautiful body. (He did lose his shirt once, but the camera was placed so close, all we see was skin.) Just look at those eyes of his!

Alain Delon in The Swimming Pool (1969)

Alain Delon in The Swimming Pool (1969)

Oh my, where do I start with this film!? This is one serious piece of eye candy.
The young Alain Delon is gorgeous here: the skin is smooth, the body build fit, and the blue eyes fierce. The first half of the film is sequence after sequence of Alain without his shirt, I was so jaw dropped and finally gave up capping and just enjoy the view.

The film itself is a low-key drama. The sometimes stagy narrative (features mainly four characters at an European villa.) has an interesting premise, however it suffers from a sluggish pacing and a rather bland and anticlimactic conclusion.

But no matter, just give me Alain Delon and I can sit through anything! His film Purple Noon is already next on my queue. (Lastly, I do have to add, the actress Romy Schneider is equally beautiful here, when she appears in a white swimsuit... wow!)
