fernando posted a review of The Blue Bird

“Good intentions can´t save all this episodic, homegenous, fantasy. Even good ideas and elements, are the unborn childs, or beautiful Ava as 'luxury', are wasted. This was not a film for Cukor, his zooms and camera work is horrible here.” read more

“Elsa, the lioness, makes the film, the theme and the point. At least, the film pioneers in the trainign of animals to go wild again, and there´s the idea of friendship above the idea of having a pet” read more

“Manierism, not just hitchcockian, just formalist wonderful manierism surrounds a simple plot of evil husband goes for vulnerable wife. Ingrid is perfect, as debutante Lansbury.” read more

fernando posted a review of The Opposite Sex

“Cukor's women, 20 years before, were far better. Miller is a good director, Allyson gives a conventional touch to everything, even in her musical numbers. Collins is mature, Dolores Gray is better than the others.” read more

“Stop Krstic, too much visual quotes, and info¡ Would to see quietly all the references listed in the final credits. Besides that pile of borrowed styles, the film has its own and its nice, a psicologist that loves a woman and other patients that help him so steal art, inside a dream and...” read more

“The nouvelle vague hated this in spite of jazz and Thelonius Monk, and edition effects. But there's a creative adpatation to the snowy landscape, and hotell and lobbis in a sky resort, until everything precipitates to the previsibel end.

“Kerr, blind and romantic, is the light of this half noirish half far east adventure in wihc Ladd used to be involved. The indian aspects are horrible, but here´s some simpel criticism of colinialism” read more

“Precious plot that could be vanguardist of identity in the global era, but was in the wave of criticizing the massification and dehumanization of TV and marketing. Anyway, Judy Holliday is an excpecional, marilynesque Cukor invention” read more
