“Short light thriller of innocent woman going to prison (the escape because she is not guilty is so gratuitous) and good cop finding the truth....” read more
“Sitcom enlarged, sexy in an italian way (here is Eggar and sexier Demongeot an non virile Bogarde and funny Robertson Justice), a bit episodic and too many poor characters” read more
“Early japanese feminism, and sacrifice between brother and sister, with no parents, celared in a picnic day. Fine.” read more
“Good director Brabin, taking advantage of dancing acting playing Colleenn Moore, one of the best silent stars, as good in big shots as in close ups” read more
“The contrast east west is well exploited, with flamboyant Fairbanks blagging with his Manhattan club friends...” read more
“Forgettable, just a few gags in a pure nonsense plot. Lamarr is too sexy for this, and Powell too good comedy actor. Bainter, poor wasred lady.” read more

“A silent Wyler, quick and too corny on the boy (Clem) stardom, allowed to shadow everybody else, even Murray and Kent” read more
“Some good gags in this woman's film: Claudette in the thresold with just married Douglas, or she posing as window mannequin and then drunken with Bartelett, and nice fights versus Douglas's family.” read more
“Everett has some nice touches on Wilde, when his words and wit hists facts, hits Bossie or Robbie or his wifep's death. And his acting is ok” read more
“Great character, epic, romantic and decadent and radical, since the beginning with the knights of Ekeby, then the defrocked priest. Women are lost by him including a lovable Greta.” read more
“A bit monotonous but has tender touches, nice selfindulgent characters, choosin family instead of suffering it” read more
“Bernard Shaw on a good topic, doctors. They all die and kill surrounded by titles and ordinary feelings. But here he has a good bunch of them.” read more
“Moved by the apperance of Angela Lansbury and Dick Van Dyke, not so by the kind of baroc musicals, even some ideas (the world inside a bowl, or the sea inside a bathtub) are good. Meryl Streep is expendable.” read more
“Too heavy on the romance, and the evil innocent woman, but well paced, dramatic close ups and movements of main characters” read more
“Greta Ozep, intense underlined by gypsy music when Dimitri lost everything to Anna Sten. The borderline evil character is wonderful...” read more
“La directora se toma su tiempo, con buena progresión, para meterse en las chicas, muy complmentarias, una mas confundida que la otra, una más sincera que la otra...” read more
“Stron character rescued in the wilderness, thats ok; but takes too long, inside the house hiding and avoiding the wilderness...” read more
“Fine long piece of what Hollywood and all its constraints could made in 1956 with a not amazing material: an ordinary man facing quietly extraordinary problems as an abandoned child in Italy and an almost lost legacy...” read more
“Naruse is somehow between Ozu and any other greta japanese. Love the challenge of putting in every woman's foot, even the sympathy goes for the non wife. The choir of characters that forces her is well handled” read more
