	DVDs about Mermaids
		A mermaid is a legendary creature with a female human head and torso and the tail of a fish, which inhabits the water.
		In the tale of a headstrong young mermaid who yearns to "spend a day, warm on the sand," Ariel trades her voice to Ursula, the Sea Witch (classically voiced by Pat Carroll), for a pair of legs.
		A group of mermaids is planning to kill and eat her to preserve their fading beauty.

	Mississippi Mermaid - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Mississippi Mermaid is the English title of La Sirène du Mississippi, a 1969 film by François Truffaut.
		Much to his surprise, the lovely and intoxicating Julie (Catherine Deneuve) arrives by ship (the Mississippi Mermaid of the title), looking nothing like the picture he had received by mail.
		Louis quickly falls for Julie, while discovering that she is decidedly not the woman with whom he had been corresponding.

		Mississippi Mermaid was made during Truffaut's most blatantly Hitchcockian period and is largely a remake of Vertigo with Catherine Deneuve and Jean-Paul Belmondo in the Kim Novak and James Stewart roles.
		Deneuve, on the other hand, walks through Mississippi Mermaid as if she were a suburban housewife on downers.
		Durand disavows the obvious discrepancies between the Julie he holds in his arms as if she were a new puppy and the woman with whom he had exchanged many letters.

	Two Women: The Dialectical Sexual Persona of Catherine Deneuve
		Mississippi Mermaid begins, essentially, as a fairy tale, with Belmondo's Louis as the wealthy prince who rescues Deneuve's Marion (a welfare baby) by summoning her to his island paradise for a royally lavish wedding.
		Mississippi Mermaid's Marion (her name evokes the Virgin's and is noticeably the name Truffaut gives Deneuve in both of their films together) keeps a pet canary, is scared of the dark and is repeatedly told by her husband that she's “adorable.” (“Do you know what that means, 'adorable'?” asks Louis.
		Truffaut subjected Deneuve to similar scrutiny in Mississippi Mermaid, with Belmondo's obsessive husband first spying her on television (in a reflexive nod to the medium's voyeuristic qualities) and again in the streets of Antibes.

		MISSISSIPPI MERMAID could be considered as an homage to Alfred Hitchcock.
		"Mississippi Mermaid" is an early Francois Truffaut film, and if it looks familiar--it may be that you've seen "Original Sin"--the Angelina Jolie/Antonio Banderas remake of the film.
		And we know from the start that she is a marriage imposter and that a crime has taken place.

	Right in all the wrong ways - Salon (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-20)
		In François Truffaut's "Mississippi Mermaid" (an ideal Christmas film, ending in snow-filled scenes where you're drained of trust), Jean-Paul Belmondo lives alone on the island of Reunion in the Indian Ocean.
		He owns a cigarette factory and a mansion, but there's no attempt to explain why the rich, handsome man is solitary.
		Truffaut was drawn to this idea of a woman as life and death force at the same time -- that's how Jeanne Moreau commanded "Jules et Jim." But "Mississippi Mermaid" is a richer, more haunting film, with its own reckless notion of love and loneliness.

	Drudge Retort: Manatee Swims 700 Miles Up Mississippi River
		A meandering manatee who took an unheard-of swim 700 miles up the Mississippi River played hide and seek Thursday with a rescue team led by marine mammal specialists from Florida.
		Discharge water at the steam plant is 70 degrees, about 10 degrees warmer than in the Memphis chute, and the warm-water mammal's instinct would be to head south looking for warmer water, said Pedro Ramos, a search team leader from SeaWorld of Orlando, Fla. "This is something very unique," Ramos said.
		"It's never been recorded before this far up the Mississippi." Manatees, an endangered species, are generally found along the southern U.S. coast, though they do stray farther north along the eastern seaboard during the summer.

	La Sirène du Mississippi / La Sirene du Mississippi / Mississippi Mermaid / 1969 / film review / Francois ...
		With its huge budget (8 million francs), exotic location (the island of Réunion) and big name billing (and you couldn't get much bigger than Belmondo and Deneuve), this was Truffaut's most conscious attempt to make a blockbuster thriller on an almost American scale, with an obviously American theme.
		The story (derived from a novel by the American writer Cornell Woolrich, alias William Irish) is fundamentally a tale of tortured love which is very typical of Truffaut's cinema.
		The film begins with a brief excerpt from Renoir's historical epic, La Marseillaise, and a poster of his most recent film Le Caporal épinglé is visible in one scene.

		Mississippi Mermaid is actually dedicated not to Hitchcock, however, but to Jean Renoir, indicating that it's really more about obsessive love than guilt.
		It begins with a factory and plantation owner (Jean-Paul Belmondo) on the island of Reunion waiting at the dock for Carole, his classified-ad bride, who is to arrive from France on the ship Mississippi.
		Mississippi Mermaid is based on the novel Waltz Into Darkness by William Irish (a pseudonym for Cornell Woolrich), who also wrote the novel Rear Window was based on.

	Re-noir (Seattle Weekly)
		Catherine Deneuve, as always, is romance personified, wearing a fluttery light-blue-and-yellow dress, her gold-blond hair packed neatly under a straw hat.
		Based on the novel Waltz into Darkness (1947) by Cornell Woolrich, the American author of Rear Window and other pulp classics that have been translated into film, the story of Mississippi Mermaid is pure noir, with its caricatures of the good guy and the femme fatale.
		When Mississippi Mermaid was first released in the US in 1970, it opened to mixed reviews and descended into the lower strata of Truffaut's filmography.

	Compare Prices and Read Reviews on Larry Brown et al - Fay: A Novel at Epinions.com
		Larry Brown uses clear simple sentences in the vein of Ernest Hemingway ("The Old Man and the Sea") to expound the journey of Fay Jones, a 17-year-old beauty, fleeing the increasingly sexual come-ons of her father, Wade Jones.
		"Fay" is set in the harsh world of Mississippi where the characters tend to have little education, money or choices.
		Fay is so desperate to leave her shack and would-be incestuous father, that despite only having two dollars, a half-pack of cigarettes and a pair of ratty tennis sneakers, she begins walking away with only the dim notion of going to Biloxi because it is on the coast and life must be better there.

		Mississippi Mermaid (aka: La sirène du Mississipi [sic]) is a lightweight diversion in Truffaut's career.
		In Mississippi Mermaid, Truffaut returned to shooting in scope, a format he'd abandoned after his first three features and the short Antoine et Colette.
		This DVD is one of five released by MGM and is the only one to be given an anamorphic transfer, in the correct ratio of 2.35:1.

		When it is time for action, the camera just speeds up, and the effect is preposterous.
		I saw the classic Mermaid on its initial run in the theatres, and the impression continues to haunt me 30 years later.
		For this reason, I rate the Mermaid not as merely good, but great, albeit uncomfortably great, which is perhaps why, it has always been consigned by critics to that dubious category of "flawed masterpieces".

	Truffaut's restored "Mermaid' surfaces
		So says Louis Mahe (Jean-Paul Belmondo) to his deceptive wife, Julie (Catherine Deneuve), in a lovely scene by the fire in Francois Truffaut's "Mississippi Mermaid" - a sequence previously unseen by American audiences.
		We all have our favorite Truffaut, but few of us think it's this 1969 noir, which bombed at the box office and has been little-seen since.
		Many consider this to be part of Truffaut's "Hitchockian phase" - when he focused more on technique ("The Soft Skin," "Fahrenheit 451") and even fashioned a coffee-table book of his famous interview of the legendary master.

		I can't pinpoint exactly why I like Truffaut and the French New Wave so much, maybe it's the wonderful dialogue, long sequences without talking, cool jazz-like music, or just the characters themselves.
		I have yet to see many of Truffaut's other famous films, like The Bride Wore Black and Mississippi Mermaid, and I am very looking forward to seeing more from this groundbreaking director.
		I have seen about 20 of Truffaut's films and have enjoyed them all.
