“(OK) Not just a vehicle for Temple; an hommage to both sides virtues, specially south, with tap and black face and Bill Bojangles. Butler, honest artisan.” read more

“(OK) Nagib Mafuz is so universal that yoo don't have to know egiptian politics, to catch the dilemmas and appretn idiot plots of classes and despicable moods: the heroe is not the soisticate bourgeois leftist, even he is beaten; but the girl obligued to be the minister's lover and his contract husba” read more
“(OK) In the beginning, some confussions becuase of many characters and a wrong resemblance to a ligh comedy of soldiers and thier maitresses, buy in he end the fatality makes everything wonderfull, elegant, touching and sad” read more

“(OK) A comedy or moors and social struggle (la societé vs la boutique), with nice touches (the encounter of Odette and the king where she explains the struggle, Carette teaching how to dance to each side) and a nice cast: fresh handsome as never Perier, excellent Allermé...” read more
“(OK) Valli is too much woman and actress for a schoolgirl, bur there she is commanding an italian genre film, neat and agile in enery aspect, and conventional in limits and specially in its happy ending” read more
“(OK) Imagination and ambition in the end of silent films. Commiting Noah's story is too much for everybody, and add the war and the train accident. Lot of themes (including the buddy responsible war topic) are announced here... And he talkie segments brings the inusual realism of a realist scene in ” read more
“(OK) Sort of empty elegance; but, in the menatime, notes on french history and sprit. A serial killer is a perfect alibi for a film of sketches with no sketches but a strong bizarre character as Charles Denner could be. Michele Morgan beats Darrieux here...” read more
“(OK) The only film directed by scriptwriter Hnery Jeanson is an exercise on mood and joy not on structure or dialogues. Everything os smooth and funny as in the stage where Susy Delair has an irresistible charm...Jouvet amuses himself always” read more

“(OK) Little tense effective good cast (Nolan and Preston makes a good buddy film pace, Naish is impecable as gansgter and funny as a granny a la Lon Chaney in "The unholly 3")..” read more
“(OK) Wow, so well narrated and build to arrive to the sacrifice/impossiblesex/fantastic adventure/ of Fay Wray being manupulated by Kong, once in the ungle and again in New York, with momnetos of extreme cruelty, few touches of humoru (don't needed)...” read more
“(OK) Just love this, as humorous as an Azcona for Berlanga but astounding plot for a 30s film. Rosay is wonderful as always and his husband Allermé is better than soft Murat. Feyder great directing...” read more

“(OK) Too stupid plot, gagless, but the futuristic musical fantasy s funny. El Brendel is a lousy comedian.” read more
“(OK) Law on film, good stories around a jury around a big case. No surpirses, an ambiguos right ending. The sotry of middle aged Valentine Tessier and young Auclair is excellent as Noel Roquevert.” read more
“(OK) Rare story, the green horse is just rhe beignning to set the story of men and women and their natural miseries. Irreverent but not grandilocuent. Bourvil is excellent when his mother is raped above him (he's hidden under the bed)...” read more
“(OK) Moralist. grnaidlocuent en scope and theme, and correpondances (Steiger kills Meeker with the same bullet he hurted him in the beginning) but not in direction and acting.” read more

“(OK) First preserved Ozu. Just for the shenanigans and frustrated romance in the snow, and the ambivalence of the extroverted character....Ozu's is slowly making his way and style” read more
“(OK) So attached to science and respectfull of its characters, that ir more moving than expected. Big effort to get inside minf and simbolism of schizofrenia...” read more
“(OK) This is after Pandora's Box, but could be a kind of prequel. The melodrama well extended in time and places, each a world itself, produces a careless lost girl next tu lulu...” read more
“(OK) Pabst's and Brooks's Lulu is an anticipation, the flapper meet the femme noir and the 60s heroine. Men are poor thing around her, even his father ans his husbands, Some scenes are so well mounted is space and tension...” read more
“(OK) Rare theme for such an adult director a Nichols and a star as Scott. That gives the roccedings a dimensuon that in other hands would remain a small thriller with speaking dolphins...” read more
“(OK) Te couer of french humour learned form Hollywood and from its own little village heaven. The postman is the soul of it all and the idea, no subligned, fo making him see the documentary of postmen in USA, makes wonders...moving” read more
