“(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

“(OK) One of Lean's masterpieces, Rpsie wants more than she knows and priest Trevor Howard slaps her for it. And she gets a fancy romance, against the people, but with Mitchum comprehension. Mills is the court jester that interprets everything, the style is so elegant and precios to detail, that corn” read more
“(OK) Russell attached to a story, well directed and acted, with sexploitation (the most rare is the nude wrestling between Bates and Reed, but too violent, lacks eroticism) and extravaganza.... the tragedy of two secondary lovers in the middle, and the last one, of Reed, kind of shadowed...” read more
“(OK) Long complex story, all is put in the spectacular film, but the hidden or sometimes shocking grimace smila of Veidt is at its core. Some expressionist sets look natural...” read more
“(ZW) Mizoguchi's hommage, in a way, to artists passion resolved in one tide of love and impromptu. She's is so fathfful to his master, director and dead lover that stages wonderfully her death. Excellent compositions after the necessary travellings” read more
“(OK) Simple Demy, but there's some cotidianeity charm int the middel age recreation of a plagued city with greedy, fearful or noble characters, even a depressed pilgrim. Donovan's pied piper is kind of hippie...Demy lacked of means of production to film the rats...” read more
“(OK) Thanks Lourcelles for point this strange, dreamy nightmarish comedy, with perfect Fernandel lookin for his aunties corpse in the cupboard. The scene with more than a dozen of cupboardas being driven to his appartment is wonderful.” read more

“(OK) Some shades of comedy at nazis expense. Sig Ruman kind of repeats his part in Lubitsch "To be or not to be", but the plot is lousy. Kosleck is a sexy contrived stupid nazi...” read more
“(OK) Edith Evans is the respiration of the film, she and her solitude and her whispering fantasies, and so moving detail as going to the library to warm puting her foot on a tube. The system is iirelevant for her, when obligues his exhusband to return. loneliness is better...” read more
“(YT) More confusing and multiplot than the firs part, begins ok with tha bank robbery, but the historic account of the diamond and the Falkland plot is too much...” read more
“(YT) The best of the dyptic, because the inca plot dominates, and the duel of love is so dramatic and rare against the crazy adventure background.” read more
“(OK) Farrow has some fordian virtues when depicting men in war. Bendix is, here, his McLaglen. He and Preston are the heart of the film, really comic and brave.” read more
“(OK) Full of charm, complicity (the Mills and Boulting), and soft satire of gossipy prejudiced community. Not angry youn people, but temporarily uneased happily reconciled with life and sex...” read more
“(OK) Little gem, tongue in chic, with an author inside the film, Lugosi jailes with a gorilla and having the assitnace of Minerva Urecal, a pity the serial killer part is too short...” read more
“(OK) More clean, dramatic, and same time, has an almost comic anecdote of Apu married with an unknown bride... Apu has a grear dramatic trouble, is a good man who fights with his sense of loss and responsability... and urban and rural backgrounds are so well connected/contrasted”” read more
