“(OK) Good slapstick in and against a vaudeville, that's nice, seeing Charlie in 2 roles, throwing thing to poor actors and messing the audience...” read more
“(OK) Patriotism with a religious twist, more evident in dialogues than in action. Alan Hale is the priest agent, haha. The boys wanting to fight after theier leave, too much...” read more
“(OK) Another 'vague', in Switzerland, but the angry young man is an old one, exquisite Francois Simon (Michel's son), comprehensive and unsufferable and passif ath the end...” read more
“(OK) A great Mann and the Victor Mature ever, as a force of instinct. His feeling for Bancroft against Preston (another kind of madman) is as passionate as his feeling to be a part of the system (the army) in his own terms...” read more
“(YT) Boys are too enthusiast on being trained to go to fight, as O'Brien, Don Taylor, etc, and that's pure formula; but thier girls have a good secuence seeing their planes leaving to Asia over the Frisco Bay. And there´s Judy Holliday and Jeanne Crain before being stars.” read more
“(OK) Hithc had a lot of things cleared up in his first talkie, dialogues can be banal but action neves, specially when the evil guy is followed to the ceiling of a national monument (anticipation of "Saboteur" ending), and women cal be deceiving...” read more
“(OK) A poor Walsh as this is 3 stars because there is a special cammaraderie between characters, nice and bitchy women competing, and vivid characters...” read more

“(ZW) Well consistent narration on variations on cult of death between a pair that comunicates their unrequitted love in thar cult...” read more
“(OK) Really simple. Daves and Warner just edit numbers and good hearted stars. The Hutton Lesle affair is naif but serves to the antropology of stradom: they are the people one can use and kiss and expect care for us if we reach heroism...mmmhhhh...” read more
“(OK) Nice little story, Baxter is a dreamy girl being down to earth, Bacon describes the spirit of the family in an interesting environment of south Florida, a houseboat, chickens, Anne Revere, Darwell, Wills good support for a feeling of a town...” read more
“(OK) Underrated film of right to death of a severe disabled. Much better than other films of disabled people, and you feel, betwenn cracks, the pain of being inteligente enough to understand and cant stand life...” read more
“(OK) Le Roy expends most of the film beautifully depicting normal life in earth and the love of Van and Taxter. The goodbye of the boys is excellent and then you feel near to earth all the exciting of bombing Tokyo as a fatality of war...” read more
“(OK) The kind of film that Lourcelles love: cinical, demosntrative of the ingluence of that spirit in a family and the world, expressed in a few scenes... Raimu is convincing,” read more

“(OK) Skippy is so bad and America is so good that there´s manicheism in a plot that doesn't deserve it. March and Field (why she didn'r act more?) are a good couple...” read more
“(OK) A world in itself, that includes the past of mi city, Lima. Anna has everything and can't support it, but the theatre is always handy, is the best parts, everything is vividly cinematically lively staged...” read more
“(OK) Mamoulian crude and early noir with a Borzage romantic touch. Silvia serves that purpose and Coop, well, he always has a touch of Peter Ibbetson. I love the scenes in the beach and the meeting in prison...” read more
“(OK) Washed up and too noisy. Aged in its slpastick, the suite with people coming any time, Wyman is unsufferable as character, Sheridan and Smith are batter, and Carson and Ruggles. The russian Eve Arden niet please...” read more
“(OK) An hommage to Grable legs, excuse to hail heroes (Guadalcanal is a glamour card of presentation) and the silliest idiot plot, of Grable impersonating Grable. A number with Hermes Pan is ok and the long militar number at the end is too much...” read more
“(OK) Tay Garnett builds an epoch, carefully, solidly. Garson is convincing in her extremes. Peck is most determined, as Gladys Cooper, as overacted Barrymore, but they provide the strokes of melodrama.” read more
“(OK) One of the most frivolous Cukor's. Crawford is ok in that, good contrast with sometimes drunkard March. A bit stagey. John Carroll, pretty Rita, Hussey. Bigel bruce, cabot, good supporting...” read more
“(OK) Maravilla de Florián Rey e Imperio, le sacaron lo mejor de técnica a la UFA. La música no le debe nada a Bizet, es original, cante muy jondo cuando ora al torero muerto, y ligero cuando lo hace a piconeros y rivales.Hermosos diálogos...” read more

The duels and fights in westerns, are so transfigurated by stereotypes, style, emotions, and the tradition of genre; that we tend to see neat realism in any vague aproximation to reality.
“(OK) Otto is so elegant to undesrtand institutions and politics, even if it has to soften the passion of characters and action, or , in the contrary, bringing them to other meanings...” read more
“(YT) Realistic in epic, size, humour of some characters; buy the good Bannion and the bad Alan Hale are too schematic. Great tableaux of conquest of the west...” read more
“(OK) Oh, an isolated noir, in which Duryea seems to know everything is gonna happen, but can't cope with Jayne´s love. Good monologues; good character of Sister Sarah, findind she's been robbet from a strank viewpoint (the hole of her safe)...” read more
