fernando posted a review of Alice in Wonderland

“(OK) Disney posed with the madness and episodic fantasy of Carroll's is better than telling a tale. The flower concert, the walrus and the oysters, the cards and the queen in the end, the troubling size of Alice breaking a house and a keyhole....” read more

fernando posted a review of Four Sons

“(OK) Mayo is an impecable artisan. Leontovich is moving and nos so old to dance and stands between his polarized sons. The scenes, real and the ilusory with the four in the table, are the heart of the film, better than correct action scenes” read more

“(OK) The documentary stylle of the dimension in which the film arrives to evacuate London is impressing. Before that, good atmosphere of Barry Jones with the spinster landlady and then the tender Olive Sloane...” read more

“(OK) Just for the cast and the charm Conway puts in every one. Ava is great just smiling and moving his hair; Greenstreet has the antology scene of his spitting on the table; Clark cnnects them all, Kerr is deliciously fragile when going to the hotel...” read more

fernando posted a review of Texas Carnival

“(OK) So light and full of texans clises and idios plots for the sake of entertainmente, that you can't resist it. Miller has some routines with more energy and correcness than imagination. Wynn is funnier than Skelton here.” read more

fernando posted a review of The Blue Lamp

“(OK) Too much inspired on realistic illustrative Hollywood crime research films. But inside there's a moving sotry of a young cop embraced by an old one and the criminal psycotic plot with Bogarde...” read more

“(OK) Pelissier is ok with this short great story by Lawrence, troubling, well contrast (between Mills jockey past and the boy in a wooden horse), with an excellent Valerie Hobson, strong support by Ronald Squire, even erotic soft undertones in the boy on the horse...” read more

“(OK) Eerie Ealing, long live MacKendrick and his debutante skill for exploiting a good theme/anecdote woth social, geographic, ethnic background. Greta bit chatacters, as hard mom of coastguard. Radford is great as heroe/enemy of people...” read more

fernando posted a review of Caesar and Cleopatra

“(OK/YT) Begins well, with the monologue of Caesar to the sphynx and the apartion of Vivien between the paws. Then, all the little and historic intrigue, with Ptatateeta (Robson) and a swashbuckling Granger, gets somwhat tiresome. Rains leaves Egypt as gratuitously as he got there...” read more

“(OK) Its a little elonged frivolous story but so elegant. Harrison and Kendall are as perfect as overaged Lansbury. Even Dee is wise. Minnelli observes characters and stays with them in some rich details” read more

“(OK) After great musicals ("Good news", "Easter Parade", "Barkleys of Broadway"), Walters took a rest with this flight/stewardess soft exploitation romantic comedy. Forced finale, with Wyman choosing the college researcher Johnson...” read more

fernando posted a review of I See a Dark Stranger

“(YT) Charming, suspense by Luander and Gillat nos as effective as their "Tha Lady Vanishes", but more developed in 3 political historical fronts and generations: Bridie/Deborah is daugher of irsis patriotism, rjected by new patriots (the scene in the museum is elocuent), compromised by german spies,” read more

fernando posted a review of Dishonored

“(OK) There is some fun in the 'chinese laundry' (title and motto of Von Sternberg's autobiography) and, most of all, a romanesque viwe of genre ellegance, wit and charm, of a woman above sex and mystic...For such a character concept, the antologhy scenes of her execution...” read more

“(OK) Blier, such an ordinary submissive sympathetic guy, redimensioned when refoundind la 'agence matrimoniale' and plays god, he, who couldnt sum up his live and rejects dominant mom. And Le Xhanois has so many characters, even an almost debutan De Funes” read more

fernando posted a review of L'Age d'Or (1930)

“(YT) Aunque Buñuel en su biografía prefier recordar imágenes e ideas de amor loco contra convenciones, la descripción (aunque con ayuda de archivos documentales) del fondo social, es más elocuente de lo que a primera vista se ve, si uno se deja abosrover por la chupada de Lya al pie de la estat” read more

“(OK) Irregular saga of east and west contrast in a solid love affair where Mary doesn't even think on what she is leaving (stiff Aubrey Smith amd Blanche Frederici), and the way they keep intimate feeling in the patihso of tha attack by ranch robbers, with Mary and the death baby... then begins a su” read more

Winters is good, but too weak charac” read more

“(YT) This film is touched by grace, even conventional scenes and edit reels as the one in close ups of the dreaming boys with pin ups and music, is marvellous.
