“(OK) Love this. So modest, so great. Rooney is a young and tinier Cagney, less grumpy, same violence, just love Carolyn Jones (wonderful here), deconstructing and same time building its character and saga against Chicago police and against Dillinger better deserved fame...Hardwicke is the best, a dr” read more
“(OK) Fox just wanted to make a war effort with its rutilant stars (Power, Dana and Baxter), tehcnicolor (excellent and wasted Leon Shamroy photography) and a stupid plot of impossible heroics where nobody, but olf Gleason, dies.” read more

“(OK) Mitchum as its best, is a frontier man, crossing in action ans spirit the Rio Grande many times. His voyages are as beautifully staged as his laying with a broken leg. The wonderful country is not that of Pedro Armendáriz (San Miguel Allende's location?) but in Mitchums mind...” read more
“(OK) Rediscovering Leisen. This is a subtle adventure romantic passionate film projected from ladies pre victorian constraint. Fontaine is convincing in lady and pirate for a day, lover always...” read more
“(OK) American inspired and american criticizing confusing film. The cowboy has enough charm to gets a russian camarad but West is too stupid. The collection of sordid false bolcheviks saves the film...” read more
“(OK) Wonderful in all its extension, in every detail and episode. In the moon it becomes, good timing, dense and sad with the detah of a friend. The clisé of the man eating Catherina is well surpassed by Munchhausen himself.... seel the tail of Catherinas dress following the baron, baron and his ti” read more
“(YT) Sensual, fantastic, amusing but with an anchor in the violent reality of non forgotten persian past. A surprise from a genre that never explored its limits...” read more
“(OK) Russell, well served by Lothar Mendes and sets, gives intensity to her flyers. Buy lacks the mithical stature of Amelia Earhard, in whom is based. MacMurray is too light, Marsahll is better...” read more
“(OK) Kate and his pushes for excellency character, only Cukor undestrands its limits (and Tracy of course), adult comedies for the not to adult 50s...” read more
“(OK) The mature, quiet, serene Cukor made his characters out of his actors. Judy and Aldo Ray compose a marriage with all possible ups and downs, includin the tragedy of losing a child...and there are amusing dreams..” read more
“(OK) Nice bad smiling cinic Chevalier and his apprentice wife. What they make on André Lafeaur is antologique. Soft sordid background...” read more
“(OK) Sad, lourd, somber antinazi film form the civil side. Steinbeck's pacifist universla side. Hardwicke is excellent and Travers tries to reach him.Lee Jo Cobb is wasted. Heroism is forced...can't expect otherwise in 1943” read more
“(OK) An exercise on star recognizing and enjoying them. Hope and Crosby have thier usual stuff; Lancaster and Lizabeth amuse themseleves. Coper, Goddard Milland do almost nothing. Bendix is hilarious hitting a pomelo a la Mae Clarke, in Olga San Juan's face.” read more
“(OK) Lourcelles praises this film because grandilocuent Cayatte works out his thesis, thar heavy fathers, for diverse cuases (leftist Blier, jew hater Balpetré, careless isa Miranda...) makes their children feel the urge to evade the deluge. He succeeds¡” read more
“(OK) Every character, mostly Fay Bainter and dead ray Collins, preach Saroyan texts, and that's heavy; but Brown's bathes everuthing with americana charm. Rooney and the boys, tne drunking Morgan, are there to enjoy... Look for Mitch debut...” read more
“(OK) Brooks is always correct,even in this neorrealist piece of americana. I have to admit that Betteis even great in this miscasting, even better than stereotyped Borgnine. Debbie ok, buy grumpy Fitzgerald always steal scenes...” read more

“(OK) Great account of a complete crisis and uncomplete rebirth after a rape, it anticipates most feminist integral conception of victimization but defies it when Carroll goes back to Meeker...” read more
“(OK) Minor Wise, so predictable, positive clises for mogols, negatif for japanese in China. Widmark is always ok, Don Taylor just deambules” read more
“(OK) Charming in spite of a trheatrical origin that wieghs in the old house. But the beginning in the cemetery and the exposition of Sloane before Harry Andrews, worth everything...” read more
“(OK) The sensusal repressed subtext, very Lawrensian, has a great finale with a multi flood that washes everything...” read more
“(OK) War and women, sublime machism, but humanly pacifist against 1st worl war, moving when the moher's boy is involved. Alwatys transactional, as Dolores del Rio opposes being sold and choses his man...Greta two shots and scenes in the trenches” read more

“(OK) 3 and a half star just for the sequence of Lundigan monologuing against a window of NY at night and the dummy of a serial killer, than later turns to be the real one...” read more
“(OK) Clouzot is amused with such characters that antagonize, fails, betrays, act pompous and stupidly, and has strokes of illumination (as delicious Susy Delair) in a midlle of a confusing crime thriller” read more
“(OK) Last film of Van Dyke; not as corny as you can expect, because Young is a journalist and Fay Bainter a realist. The sense London as a doomed city is ok” read more
“(OK) Ch-Jaque is as trepidant and inspired in images and good acting as his best; but there's some disroder of elements, love story of the baron and Renée Faure apparently sabotages by the schoolteacher, Cornusse the pere noel, the boys, the assault...” read more
