  Lola Montès
Lola, confined in a cage, is introduced by the suitably oily ringmaster as a beast more dangerous than any other found in the circus's menagerie.
Lola is treated as an object, a beautiful but hollow doll, an empty manikin, to be invested with the fantasies of the men who possess her.
These range from the blue of the episode of Lola as a young girl to the autumnal yellow and ochre of her sojourn at the court of Ludwig.

 Lola Montes Movie Review
LOLA MONTES tells the story of a woman who had many lovers all around Europe and ended up in an American circus selling her memories and kisses to the masses.
When Lola was asked about herself, she said that all the things told about her are not true, she was just a woman who did whatever she wanted to do.
LOLA MONTES is one of those rare gems which could be distincted from most of the films you have ever seen.

Lola's climb to the trapeze and Josephine's to the window are decisive acts in these patterns of movement, and their falls simultaneously complete and break the cycle of seemingly endless movement the motif enacts.
Lola's rise to the eminence of becoming the mistress of a king must be followed in the circus display of her life by a precipitous fall.
Lola's jump is unique only for the film spectator; as the climax of her act it takes place daily in the constantly replayed ritual in the circus ring.

Lola Montès was the first (and only) film made by Ophüls with the new Cinemascope camera that was in its infancy, but all the rage in 1955.
So cynical was Lola about the permanency of love, she would have her own private carriage follow behind when traveling with a lover to ensure that she would always have a means of escape.
Lola paid the price for the relative lack of foundation for her fame, in the film version of her life at least, by being relegated, in the end, to the role of a circus act, providing kisses for a parade of uncouth men.

 The Harvard Crimson :: News :: La Vie Extraordinaire de Lola Montes
Lola's mode of existence and understanding during her childhood has its own validity and its place in her personal development; the romantic personality Ophuls is increasingly trapped in situations must pass through this free, isolated stage.
When Lola first meets the King his room is filled with depth, but each spot in it is exactly limted and structured by the regular columns which rise from floor to ceiling, by the regular wall-cornicing in the background, by the desk and steps which divide up the spacious floor.
The inescapability of Lola's physical settings, her existence in the physical world, is the reason her ambitions are defeated--but it's also the basis of her fleeting triumph, moments in which her integration with her setting lets her feel free.

 Collection Anime: Lola Montes - $14.23   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-02)
Using the theatrical re-creation of Lola's life in a big-tор pageant as a framing device, Ophüls contrasts the outrageous sеnsаtiоnаlism of her reputation with poignant, poetic flashbacks that ехрlоrе her many affairs, most notably with Franz Liszt (Will Quadflieg) and King Ludwig of Bavaria (Anton Wаlbrоок).
Lola's greatest tragedy is that she lоvеd well, if not too wisеlу.
Lola Montes represents the love and liberty without hindrance, ерitоmizing free willed, free spirited аnd brave woman who stands in defiance of social rules; а passionate and hоt lover, but also a very smart and sensitive human being.

When Lola was younger her mother wanted to marry her off to a wealthy older banker but Lola refused and instead ran away with a young man who ended up being a drunk and a philanderer.
Later Lola will refer to this as the happiest period in her life but we are likely to attribute this happiness not to the elderly and deaf King of Bavaria himself but to the palace he provided her with.

 Lola Montes
Visibly ill and pretty much destroyed, Lola desperately holds on to what is left of her dignity and remains almost completely silent except when answering the invasive questions Ustinov's ringmaster chooses to let the audience ask her.
In an era where celebrity indiscretions can make a nobody an instant star, Lola Montes as a character is perhaps a little dated in her comparatively kind treatment of her lovers, however the very public interest in her private life is all too familiar.
That Lola does not triumph over her past is hardly surprising given the time and culture in which the film was made.

 Lola Montes - Synopsis - Moviefone
Martine Carol stars as notorious 19th century Mexican circus performer Lola Montes, who in her heyday counted among her lovers the crowned heads of France, Italy, Poland, and Russia.
We learn of these various amours in flashback form, for the film is framed by a prologue and epilogue in a tawdry New Orleans circus, where an old and faded Lola is exploited by a slimy nickel-and-dime ringmaster (Peter Ustinov).
Ophul's use of the CinemaScope format will be lost on un-letterboxed television; long available only in an abortive 90 minute version, Lola Montes was restored to its full directors' cut of 110 minutes in 1969.

Mirecourt may be the first instance of the story that Coyne’s farce, “Lola Montes,” was meant to be a vehicle for her.
Both were married, but the wife who was in her early thirties, as Lola describes, had five or six living children at this time and would have been an unlikely candidate for elopement.

Despite a recent restoration of the 116-minute German premiere version of the film, Ophuls’ son, Marcel, considers the 110-minute, second French cut (edited with the director’s cooperation) to be definitive, and it is this version that is most commonly screened today (5).

 Lola Montes - DVDs & VHS - MovieMail UK
The story of the legendary courtesan is told in flashback as Lola spends her last years performing in a circus presided over by a domineering ringmaster.
Framed by scenes in a New Orleans circus where cruel ringmaster Ustinov invites questions from a vulgar audience about the lady’s colourful life, the film is structured as a series of beautifully composed flashbacks detailing the various romantic involvements of the heroine.
The stunning stylistic effects achieved by the effortless fluidity of Ophuls constantly tracking camera create an overwhelming visual spectacle where the lines between Lola’s romantic memories and her tawdry reality are constantly blurred.

LOLA MONTES, the last film by Max Ophuls, is one of the most celebrated examples of both wide screen CinemaScope and lush Technicolor in film history.
Added to this is Ophuls' usual use of sweeping crane shots and angled tracking shots, making this a beautiful, creative film.
Ophuls had used a similar structure in his adaptation of Arthur Schnitzler's play REIGEN in his film LA RONDE.

Audiences balked, perhaps not surprisingly, and the producers performed crude surgery on this baroque gem, excising Ophuls's flashback sequences and other innovative scenes that would remain lost forever.
But as most of the original cut was heroically reconstituted in the Sixties, we can now better appreciate the Ophulsian touches that make Lola Montes a masterwork: his audacious use of screen space, his deep and lavish sets, his remarkable Technicolor palate.
