Joy House is surprisingly funny and intriguing with

Joy House is surprisingly funny and intriguing with a charismatic Alain Delon! French director René Clément's mystery thriller Joy House (1964) is quite delightful. Alain Delon is hilarious as a womanizing card shark hiding out in Lola Albright's magnificent castle alongside Jane Fonda's flirty maid. It's so fun! Writers René Clément, Pascal Jardin, and Charles Williams adapt Day Keene's neat narrative full of humor and romance. I thought this would be a darker film noir, but it's highly entertaining. Jane Fonda is so pretty and playful as the very forward maid Melinda. Her clear desire and friendly manner with Alain is quite a fun dynamic. I think Joy House can be seen as wish fulfillment, but it's a lot of fun. Alain Delon is a riot as the cautious and charming card shark on the lamb named Marc. His flirting with both actresses is such a pleasure to watch, especially opposite his nervous fears over the mob finding him. I cannot believe how amusing and handsome Alain comes across in Joy House. Lola Albright is gorgeous and powerful as the mystery mansion madame Barbara. Her demands of Marc and enigmatic performance are fascinating. Her gorgeous figure, bright smile, and piercing eyes are alluring. I found her even more beautiful and dramatic than Jane Fonda. I was seriously confused and intrigued by what was going on with her husband. Editor Fedora Zincone makes 97 minutes feel brisk with crazy cuts alongside cinematographer Henri Decaë's endlessly creative shots. These long panning shots that follow Delon around are so precise and neat. Production designer Jean André creates a luxurious mansion complete with all sorts of fancy antique statues, paintings, and furniture. It's basically a castle! Composer Lalo Schifrin's bombastic jazz score is insane and never lets up during the tense action. I liked his moodier romance themes as well. Sound designer Antoine Bonfanti makes train whistles scream like the agonized yells of the mobster's wife. The quiet and loud dynamic is really exciting. Costume designer Pierre Balmain gives Alain cool suits, a pilot's suit, shades, and a chauffeur's cap. The ladies get lovely chic dresses and fitted 60's outfits. Makeup artist Aïda Carange gives Delon and Fonda great looks. I loved hairstyling from Alex Archambault and Jacques Dessange, especially for Delon's James Dean hair. In all, Joy House is a ton of fun with charismatic performances from an all star cast.

I can tell why Delon and Fonda were

I can tell why Delon and Fonda were the wet dreams of the previous generation but nobody ever mention Lola Albright to me. She is exquisite, she exudes an European kind of thing and yet she's totally American. A cross between Doris Day and Ava Gardner. The film is a delight. A STEAMY thriller soaking in a sticky, tingly atmosphere--Threesome, in the best possible way!!
