“(YT Canal Filmoteca UNAM) Gran historia, thriller y melodrama con fonde de revolución, diálogos perversos, y un final forzado para esquivar el otro final que debió ser en el paredón.” read more

“(YT Canal Filmoteca UNAM) Buena copia restaurada de un Gavaldón que se luce componiendo sobre grandes decorados, incluyendo la típica buhardilla ´rincón de cielo´. La Dolores glamorosa le gana de lejos a la otra, pero una vez que muere, se funden las dos. Hasta hay una procesión de navidad pre” read more

“(OK) The best is not the Minnelli segmento with peotry fan Caron; but Reinhardts segment with Sheares. She dance for the camera, never forgets to act, her big number is well edited with Mason's reaction. In Minnellis is the artificial charm of Rome, and in the last Reinhardt´s episode set decors a” read more

“(OK) The causl love affair mount up ok, the city is present (a bit forced the idea of Central Park sounds are music without Judy singing), the confusion in the metro, the night delivering the milk of James Gleason; but there's a non originaln, non inspired, predicatble story...” read more

“(OK) Fleming is a bronco director, so vital, bright in the firs part in (supposedly) Chile; but then when he has to serve the shenanigans between Gable and Grason, approaches ridicule. The fights between them and Blondell, are so grandilocuent that the gestures and brawls couldn't improve. Mitchell ” read more

“(OK) So delicate, unglamorous, the war just as social background for lovers called each other Snapshot and Useless; Lana is more against type than Gable; the idea of concentrating in just one death, Cameron Mitchell, by malaria and not in actions, sums it all” read more

“(YT,OK) Tight, hard and even tender. Love the idea sequence of the barefoot froting, Gene Evans thinks Basehart foot and not his is frozen. The cave, the snow, the fire are the elemnets that puts some poetry in the harsh fullerian style” read more

“(OK) The final Wood is a vivid western in a fort, with two love stories, women torn between brave fatal men; a well mounted final ambush after a false one, an agile taylor catching indians; but lacks the humour and love of civilization Ford or Mann could put in this” read more

“(OK) Rossen has to explain in a way whar are bulls and bullfightin, why a matador has fear and hate the world, and survives the tragedy of Quinn and Miroslava. Tha absurd of life, blood and sand...” read more

“(OK) Rossen loves his characters, Dick/Powell is hideous but elegant with strange sidekick John Kellog. Women are all seductive and suffering. Drew is the best, hating and kneeling before huge Thomas Gomez better than ever...” read more

“(OK) Monicelli at last and at large, even with Steno; Toto and the scritp have a philosophy on women, all kinf of, reoclected by Toto in his accounts to Peppino, who has one sketch.The dance with the sad whore in the bar is an antecedent of the Pulp Fiction dance.” read more

“(OK) The fors by Monicelli, is a very idiot plot, against journalism and early globalization, ending a a UN assembly; as pretentious as simple. The dream and episodic plot is poor...” read more

“(OK) WB feared its own movie and its social implication. That makes this a unique film of social struggle dilemma by a sensitive Barthermess torn between his poor folks and the Bette household, comprehensive at the end. Blakcks are the background's bacckground...” read more

“Minnelli complete: music, dance and comedy, Skelton has his own long routines and some funny gestual remarks, some absurds too (he havin a goldmine), and cast is ok (Thurston Hall, Sam Levene), black music is well staged by the "Cabin in the sky" director, (a pitty Louis Armstrong is not the trumpet” read more

“Minnelli is complete here, black or white, and with 'heavenly' plot; Waters is as greta as Horne in her few scenes. There's sense of space (Waters running to Eddie being shot; thu tornado¡¡), and music” read more

“Plot, direction, even acting by John Payne, are tight and right. The mask idea the reunits Preston Foster, Neville Brand, Lee Van Cleef and jack Elam in a mexican hotel, waiting to the loot, great...” read more

“Fleming, Tracy and Dunne, and Ward Bond and james Gleason (one of his best parts), and even Lionel Barrymore as god, makes anything believable. Even Dunne seduced by young Van Johnson...” read more

“With such a cast handled good by Wood, does'nt matter how stagey could be. Pidgeon is great explaining why he has to allow Gable to sacrifice pilots, Donlevy is also great trying to make a decision, even Hodiak is ok” read more

“Charming Caleton Carpenter makes believable his friendship with the lion. Nice contrast with cinic Janet Leigh, in a way she is the male here.” read more

“Delicate romantic comedy, Liz seducing arrogant charming Larry Parks, embracing him in a plot with complicity of her parents; in contrart with New Haven children dance professor...” read more

“Little fireworks in a court, with tongue in cheek Conway and a weak plot of lawyer mixed up with gangsters and her fiancee, bah” read more

“Great love affair, by a cosmopolitan Dieterle. Jona is great, delicate; Cotten is cool. Locations are elocuente, Npales, Capri and Florence, there's a 'Viaggio a Italia' qulity now and then; and Francoise Rosay is always a good support” read more

“(oK) Here's everything that is in "Ace in the hole" or another prejudice big media americana, with great mob lynching finale and epilogue recited by Gloria Dickson. Oh Lana's sweater...” read more
