"Rochelle, Rochelle" Twice?

In "The Understudy" Bette Midler is starring in the musical "Rochelle, Rochelle" (sp?).

Doesn't George rent an erotic video version of "Rochelle, Rochelle", lose the tape, and borrow money from Susan to pay for it, etc. etc.???

It's actually three times:

Rochelle, Rochelle is the movie everyone is trying to see in one episode. In another, it's the video George returns when he runs into Susan and her lesbian lover, and finally it's a broadway show in The Understudy.

ities, not so sure about the Milan part, though. Anyone know for sure?

I agree that "Rochelle, Rochelle, an erotic journey from Milan to Minsk" was the name of the video George rented.

Isn't it also the song Bette Midler sang to Kramer in the hospital? She was starring in "Rochelle, Rochelle, the musical".

(Apologies if this has been noted earlier in this thread.)

You might be thinking of the "alternative version". :-)

I'm pretty sure the title is:

"Rochelle, Rochelle: A Young Woman's Journey from Milan to Minsk"

Actually Rochelle, Rochelle Thrice! In The Movie, Jerry, Elaine and George ended through a series of mishaps ended up seeing Rochelle Rochelle rather than the movie they had originally set out to see.

George wanted to return the Rochelle, Rochelle movie in The Smelly Car (he runs into Susan and her Lesbian lover in the video store). He keeps the video after the store was going to charge him a $2.00 charge for not rewinding it. Kramer reminds him that it is cheaper to keep the video for another day and to watch it again and rewind it. When Jerry and George go to confront the maitre'd of the restaurant that the valet who was responsible for the smell works for, the video is stolen from the car (by a thief wearing a gas mask or without a sense of smell, I guess)

Speaking of movies & Seinfeld; does anyone remember which episode Jerry went to see 'Plan 9...'? and 'Prognosis: Negative'? (Two different episodes!!)

In The Dog - Jerry, Elaine and George were supposed to go see Prognosis Negative together but Jerry couldn't go because he had to sit with the dog that he had acquired from the lush who collapsed on the airplane.

In The Chinese Rest., Jerry, Elaine and George were planning to see Plan 9 after they finished dinner.

In an early episode from this season, The Postponement, Jerry went with Kramer to see Plan 9 but Kramer was ejected for trying to smuggle the boiling hot cafe Latte into the Theater.

Prognosis Negative was in "The Dog"

Plan 9 - I *think* is The Chinese Restaurnat..I'm not sure about that one though..

If I remember rightly, Rochelle, Rochelle is also the movie that Kramer, Jerry and one of Jerry's friends end up seeing when there is a mix up with meeting Elaine at a movie theater.

Rochelle, Rochelle was also the alternative movie the Checkmate in "the Movie"

so it's three times, not twice!

Correct.... Rochelle Rochelle has appeared 3 times...

It was showing at the cinemas in THE MOVIE.

"Oh Rochelle Rochelle, what are we going to do with you...."

It was out on video in THE SMELLY CAR

"Ahhh Rochelle Rochelle, lot of nudity in that...." "Some....not frontal, mainly side-al nudity..."

It was a musical in THE UNDERSTUDY

"Can we start again, please ??? PLEASE ????"

I love listening to the dialogue of this film in THE MOVIE - as Elaine says "GIVE ME A BREAK!".

so does anyone know if this is an *actual* movie? I can't find it in any catalog at the video store.

I always thought _Rochelle, Rochelle_ was loosely based on the EMMANUELLE series of films. I believe they are French, and while the first one came out in 1975 I seem to recall seeming EMMANUELLE 6 (!) on the shelf at a video store recently. I have no idea how many have been made.

Here's a clip from Roger Ebert's review on MS-Cinemania '96:

--- Emmanuelle US (1975): Drama/Romance Roger Ebert Review: 3.0 stars out of 4 105 min, No rating, Color

EMMANUELLE is a silly, classy, enjoyable erotic film that became an all-time box-office success in France. It's not remotely significant enough to deserve that honor, but in terms of its genre (soft-core skin flick) it's very well done: lushly photographed on location in Thailand, filled with attractive and intriguing people, and scored with brittle, teasing music. Now that hard-core porno has become pass�, it's a relief to see a movie that drops the gynecology and returns to a certain amount of sexy sophistication.

There have been movies influenced by other movies, and directors influenced by other directors, but EMMANUELLE may be the first movie influenced by magazine centerfolds. Its style of color photography seems directly ripped off from the centerfolds in Penthouse, including even the props and decor. Its characters (French diplomats and�especially�their women in Thailand) inhabit a world of wicker furniture, soft pastels, vaguely Victorian lingerie, backlighting, forests of potted plants, and lots of diaphanous draperies shifting in the breeze. It's a world totally devoid of any real content, of course, and Emmanuelle is right at home in it. She's the young, virginal wife of a diplomat, and has just flown out from Paris to rejoin him. Her husband refuses to be possessive, and indeed almost propels her into a dizzying series of sexual encounters that range from the merely kinky to the truly bizarre. In the midst of this erotic maelstrom, Emmanuelle somehow retains her innocence.

Hope this helps!

Yeah. First Rochelle, Rochelle was a movie. Then they made it into a musical starring Bette Midler.
