“(OK) Undeserved popularity for a biopic, much less interesting than many other by Warners. But in purposedly made click with patriotic wave of that time; and Cagney was a self convinced Cohan tapping his way trhough family and enterprise...” read more

“(OK) An expressionist false mood, for a Sternberg theme, the man losing himself in woman's actress/singer laces and backstage...Jannings is too pathetic, but great actor” read more
“(YT) After "Look back in anger" Richardson was more classic, conventional, ambitious. He took Osborne and a lot of colourful characters in extreme, ha managed sequences with masses en the seaside...” read more
“(YT) Olivier mending, mixing, embracing, tehatre and film. he delivers the main monologues stagey, and then pictures the big facts, the battle and the crimes. The 'kingdom for a horse', of course, is pure action direction...” read more
“(OK) Little melancholic tender gem Melki is a Keaton with words and contemporary feelings. His infatuation with whore Arlette, is so romantic, even epic (he scares clients but pays for them to the pimp), and then,appears Dalio in a frenzy party in the appartment woth the world moves....” read more
“(OK) The first half is tongue in cheek, Laraine bullying ridicule Barry nelson; buth when everything turns patriotic, mmmhhhh...” read more
“(OK) So naif and simple: an average Joe takes all, even torture, if he recalls the happiness of being a good worker, husband and father... Young is Joe Smith, tha nazi spies could be everybody....” read more
“(OK/YT)) A so special Premminger, historic melodrama, love and ambitios as two contrasted forces, Linda thinks they nurture each other, but they clash in many aspects, at the end in the child going to America with father, in the king resenting (so elegance in Sanders) being part of a plot...” read more
“(YT) The episode of the bell, has no waste, not even a minute. Is the sum of it all, the artist triumph over uncertainty and social background. The chonicle, episodic, hollistic camera movements with person ans horses (they act what actors can't, with the exception of the fools, the woman and the ma” read more

“(OK) Nice little play well dramatized, perfect distribution and contrast of characters. The scene of Leighton and vicar pop Richardson in the stair is pure cinema. Celia is miscast by age, but Gregson markes believable thier affair...” read more
“(YT) Unique Hitchcock, more romantic than suspensefull, more character than action but delicate details as Bergman having an improvised mirror in the windoy shadowed by Wilding, good british support (Leighton, Cecil Parker)...” read more
“(OK) In the way to "Good news", the peak of college (well, here's a military academiy to cope woth war effort) with a film star by herself as bonus: Lucillle Ball. Buzzell keeps everything warm and manages (he directed Marx Brosthers¡) tie comic stuff...” read more

“(OK) The best Taviani. Marcello in more and lessthan a traitor, is an 'unconformist' a man unease with status quo and neif revolution. He is midway in all, in his class and in ther party, and even in the suicide/crime for love, for money, for being bored?, of his friend Lionello. There are not his t” read more
“(OK) Just because Tarantine chose it to illustrate the fabulous 'dayfilmdreaming' sequence of Sharon Tate's inspired character in "Once upon a time in Hollywood". In effect, her fight with Nancy Kwan is one of the most stupif and funny moments. Director Phil Karlson doesn't amuse with this material ” read more
“(OK) Great, everything big pacifist oriented in films as "1917" is already here. The travellings from the trenches, that running view as that from rats or mice (there are sequences with rats also) are so elocuent, not just a technical achievement. And feelings, passion, between friends and generarti” read more

“(YT) Fine Asquith, nos hiding or being affected by the stagey original. Just amusing with great actors. Redgrave connects them all, but Evans is the best of all, claiming every phrase, even dominating Rutherford.” read more
“(OK) Minor and long Hitch. Two greta episodes: the killing in the sea of umbrellas followed by the mill (Cameron Menzies in the set design) ant the final great airplane crash...” read more
“(OK) Disney posed with the madness and episodic fantasy of Carroll's is better than telling a tale. The flower concert, the walrus and the oysters, the cards and the queen in the end, the troubling size of Alice breaking a house and a keyhole....” read more
“(OK) Mayo is an impecable artisan. Leontovich is moving and nos so old to dance and stands between his polarized sons. The scenes, real and the ilusory with the four in the table, are the heart of the film, better than correct action scenes” read more
“(OK) The documentary stylle of the dimension in which the film arrives to evacuate London is impressing. Before that, good atmosphere of Barry Jones with the spinster landlady and then the tender Olive Sloane...” read more
“(OK) Just for the cast and the charm Conway puts in every one. Ava is great just smiling and moving his hair; Greenstreet has the antology scene of his spitting on the table; Clark cnnects them all, Kerr is deliciously fragile when going to the hotel...” read more
“(OK) Rutherford and Sim have a show apart struggling and bluffing; but the rest is kinf of poor, the anecdote is so clear and with few hilarant gags...” read more
“(OK) So light and full of texans clises and idios plots for the sake of entertainmente, that you can't resist it. Miller has some routines with more energy and correcness than imagination. Wynn is funnier than Skelton here.” read more
“(OK) Too much inspired on realistic illustrative Hollywood crime research films. But inside there's a moving sotry of a young cop embraced by an old one and the criminal psycotic plot with Bogarde...” read more
