“(OK) Crevenna era alemán y helo aquí con un gran original. Si el precio por ver esta audacia de argumento es convertir en monja a Marga López (que capitulación tan absurda), valió pagarlo. La atmósfera de colegio de monjas (en el original solo es rigidez prusiana), le da matices de fanatismo i” read more
“(OK) So audacious being sober, the tender sexy more than sensual and loving moments (the best is the teacher kissing each girl and keaving Manuela at the end)...” read more

“(OK) Comencini´s Pinnocho spirit is here, in the firs part, with lonesome Gepetto in the cold town. The wooden boy is tender and same time determinated, naif and cool. The snail woman, the tuna fish inside the whale are lobing highlights...” read more
“(OK) Maurice Tourneur really gay and funny depincting little anecdotes in this militar world with prisoners as free and prisoners as soldiers ans captains. The vaudeville scene is great, Raimu enchanting and every secondary....” read more

“(OK) There are some good (even long and reiterative) routines with Stanlio and Ollios drunken and lauging. Dennis King flirting with Thelma Todd, and the european little villa atmosphere are ok.” read more
“(OK) Effective but kind of uneasy film (the stock scenes of animals are poor, direction is irregular) becase of production problems; but the theme of compulsive bonf till deaht between charaters is neat till the end with Ives's swallowing the film.” read more
“(OK) Master of observation, Von Stroheim develops his most personal style with sober but passionate acting, close ups, such fine details as tears spreading (then, you discover is water), and the sordid ending...” read more
“(OK) Great B from quick effective, imaginative and lucky (this is a great script) Siodmak. The forced wedding and the sealed car are highlights. This in an unpretentious 'a lady vanishes'.” read more

“(OK) I like the melancholy of the film, the non explicit undestanding and the lies and hard truths between mother and son; but Ozu is a bit heavy and clumsy in his first nosn silent film.” read more
“(OK) Deliberately obscure to justify the characters doubts (making a silent and confusing victim), so you arrive to the liberation unsatisfied. Good ol Jodie...” read more
