Eddie Constantine Movies

Want to know the best Eddie Constantine movies?  How about the worst Eddie Constantine ?  Need to know which Eddie Constantine movie got the best reviews from critics and audiences and which got the worst reviews? Well, you have come to the right place….because we have all of that information.

Eddie Constantine (1917-1993) was an American-born French actor.  Constantine  spent most of his career working in Europe. He became well known for a series of French B movies in which he played secret agent Lemmy Caution.  He is best remembered for his role in Jean-Luc Godard’s philosophical science fiction film Alphaville. His IMDb page shows 134 acting credits from 1953 to 2010.   This page will rank Eddie Constantine movies by reviews by professional movie critics and by the movie ticket-buying public.  Due to the lack of domestic box office, I had to go “old school” with this page.  Tables are not “dynamic” and the emphasis is on reviews versus box office.

10 thoughts on “Eddie Constantine Movies

    1. Hey bob cox…I am only slightly ahead of you…though I do admit…tracking down Alphaville is now on my list of things to do. Thanks for stopping by.

  1. Many years ago Leonard Maltin had competition for his movie review book. Actually it had arrived earlier, Steven Scheuer’s “Movies on TV”. In those books Eddie Constanine’s movies always got the lowest rating which was 1 star. They also gave 1 star to all the Edgar Wallace movies (Edgar was the author). They also gave 1 star to most Clint Eastwood films, his Italian Trio and the Dirty Harry flics. That’s what I knew about Eddie. I’ve seen a couple of his movies, the ones with American actors like Five Against the House (didn’t notice him in it), It Lives Again, Egypt By Three along with The Long Good Friday.

    Eddie has never been on the Oracle of Bacon Top 1000. These are the actors on the 2020 list he appeared with.

    Eddie actually appeared with 1 Oscar winner.

    HELEN MIRREN The Long Good Friday (1980)

    Eddie appeared in 12 movies with Henri Cogan, whoever that is.

    1. Hey Dan….intersting about Steven Scheuer’s “Movies on TV” and his low ratings on Constantine movies. Having not seen any of his starring roles…I can not answer if he was right or wrong. I have seen The Long Good Friday…but do not remember his role at all….coming soon will be a Bob Hoskins page. Your lists are small this time around…but as always they are interesting. Good stuff as always.

  2. In the late 1950s the British film industry revamped itself to a degree. Popular major post-war Brit stars such as Donald Sinden and John Gregson didn’t get their contracts renewed and instead the film studios did their best to attract European and American stars who it was hoped would bring greater international box office to British films.

    The 3 actors whom I most remember benefiting most from that policy are Orson Welles and Curt Jurgens [in the awful 1959 Ferry to Hong Kong which I don’t see on Bruce’s Welles page] and Eddie Constantine.

    I saw Eddie in just one movie: 1959’s SOS Pacific which Bruce covers above. What I will always remember about Eddie was that for a supposed romantic tough guy he had very poor facial skin as Bruce’s miniature stills above clearly illustrate.

    What I remember most about SOS Pacific – and indeed it is the only thing that I recall – is Richard Attenborough doing one of his unsavoury spiv characterisations and as the aircraft that he and Eddie were in plunged to the ground to crash Dickie in his panic grabbed a security- door axe and tried to hack his way out of the plunging plane and had to be restrained by Constantine and other passengers.

    Nevertheless this new page brings back to me nostalgically the hype that surrounded Eddie when we got him over here so the page is “Voted Up!”; and WH has done a good job of rounding up a large number of Eddie’s foreign films for critical review illustration.

    1. Hey Bob…..good thoughts on Eddie Constantine. Of all the movies listed on the page SOS Pacific and Alphaville are the ones I would like to see. Interesting thoughts on his looks…..just goes to show talent can elevate over looks….sometimes. Thanks for the vote up and the visit…both are greatly appreciated.

  3. The film isn’t on the main table, but I have seen 1 Eddie Constantine film: Cleo From 5 to 7.
    It is listed in 8th place in the table of films by ranking movie critics.

    I might not have seen even that particular film if not for the fact that Agnes Varda, its director, died last year. I tend to watch a movie in tribute when an artist dies.

    1. Hey Flora…thanks for stopping by and sharing your thoughts on Eddie Constantine. I have you slightly beat in the tally contest….but you have seen a Eddie Constantine starring role movie…the ones I have seen…I did not even notice him….so in some ways you have me topped. Good information as always.
