Additional Details: Le Boulevard du Rhum (1971) is a Franco-Italian adventure-comedy set in the 1920s during Prohibition, starring Lino Ventura and Brigitte Bardot. The film tells the story of Cornelius von Zeelinga, a rugged smuggler played by Ventura, who becomes infatuated with Linda Larue, a glamorous silent film star portrayed by Bardot. Their lives intersect through daring smuggling escapades, romantic tensions, and humorous misadventures, all set against the picturesque backdrop of the Caribbean islands. The movie blends humor, action, and romance while also nodding to the silent film era through Bardot’s character, a diva of the silver screen. The film’s poster reflects its adventurous and tropical setting, with vibrant colors like blues, greens, and yellows evoking the Caribbean. It prominently features Lino Ventura’s rugged charm and Bardot’s iconic glamour, often depicted in a stylized manner to emphasize her status as a cultural icon. Key imagery such as rum barrels, sailing ships, and sunny horizons reinforces the film’s themes of adventure and smuggling, while the typography mirrors the vintage aesthetic of the 1920s. Remarkable for its lush cinematography and unique setting, Le Boulevard du Rhum also stands out as one of Bardot’s later roles before her retirement from acting in 1973. The film is remembered for its playful tone, nostalgic nod to cinematic history, and the chemistry between its two leads, who represented very different sides of French cinema—Ventura’s rugged intensity and Bardot’s radiant star power.
