What critics compared Two Weeks in Another Town to
It feels like a real, horrible, aimless couple fight, and it also manages to evoke the Kirk Douglas/Cyd Charisse car meltdown in Vincente Minnelli’s fiercely stylized Two Weeks in Another Town (1962) with its own Cassavetes-like willingness to stay with a scene to its confused and bitter end (Cassavetes was both mentor and friend to Scorsese).
More important, Godard at times gives big-time filmmaking (Hollywood in The Bad and the Beautiful, Cinecitta in Two Weeks in Another Town) the same satirical and grandiloquent treatment as Minnelli.
Palance because it's The Big Knife and Giorgia Moll from The Quiet American, the triste timbre is close to Minnelli's Two Weeks in Another Town.
