“(OK) (Good criterion copy). JL Thompson is so efficient in this thriller with frienship plot (Bucholz is seen through Hayley liar dreamy consciousness); but pa John Mills (there's an underplay father/daughter in some scenes) advances with anotehr logic till tense finaleon the sea” read more

“(OK) What is glossy and expanded in the Cukor version; here is straight, less is more, with the detective Pettingell supplying the inferences. The amid affair with Walbrook is the best deviation.” read more

“(OK) Impressed by the plot: a hard lobbyist (Mature for once well casted) being lobbyied by an environmentalist (Neal) with a credible impostor (Gwenn as a graveyard prints his invitations to parties and builds an identity)....” read more

“(OK) Small but nice, well staged (best number is the Champions in the roof, simple, hard; them Bob Fosse with Debbie agiants New York night skiline; the baloon dance is too crowded in the screen with all the cottonlike snow ); it has a softened power of that 'you can be a star' in this melting pot o” read more

“(OK) Reed hit the screen. Good with the nervous masses and the miners drama, good with the frivolous melodrama (Lockwood is ambivalent and nice), excellent supporting cast Emlyn Williams is a touching rascal...” read more

“(OK) Great cast and director, the coolest trio Douglas/Lancaster/Lizabeth and even Corey is moving, and I spotted a small handsome character Mickey Knox; but the scritp is too self conscious, Scott and Lancaster have too many lines, the sequencue of the books explanation and the entire last part are” read more

“(OK) Pure equlibrium: between intimate melodrama (the rejected good husband, the loving but hard Victoria) and historical facts; between history and palace anecdotes; humoru and gravitiy. A folm of compromise in the correct performance of Neagle (how I missed Nell Gwynn¡) and the delicate Walbrook” read more

“(OK) Impossible to match the silent Griffith blocks of ice finale; but instead King and Fox explore the seocndary characters in a New England town in a the charming vein of Fleming's "The framer´s daughter". Margaret Hamilton walking in the snow to throw her gossip, mus have inspired her castin in ” read more

“(OK) Good ol King, pretty nice film of an inteleectual/action press obsession, againt nature and some good advice (from elusive muse Nancy Kelly, subtile love story never concluded) an already mature Tracy and wonderful Cedric hardwicke conductin a choir in the jungle.” read more

“(OK) Interesting character Lederer (and good actor), a magalomaniac well conducted by Robinson. A pity all is involved in a package of grandilocuent images of antiamericanism.” read more

“(OK) So simple and neat and sincere, the early deconstruction of an american character build from nothing, because you have the kind evocation by Ralph Morgan, commented by his bitter wife Sarah Padden. Tracy shows hoy overaged he could be and Colleen More is a pity of a lost actress.” read more

“(OK) Good restored version. Basically is the great overaged Robson finding Olivier (passionate but a bit funny) and Vivien froting in every corner; but now and then, when the plot is not too naif, good observations on power by Flora, the lords (Banks is a convincing Leicester) and Philip of Spain/Ma” read more

“(NX) Llega a ser tediosa, por concentrarse en el encierro y no en la vida, falta allí menos incidencia muerta y más detalle vivo e íntimo, más elipsis. Qué malo es el doblaje al inglés.” read more

“(OK) Huge set imagination by Wells, Menzies and Korda. Not just in the futuristic sets, includin a rocket to the moon, and skycity; but in the pestilence/barbarism 1970 segment, anticipating the Mad max kind of aestetics...” read more

“(OK) So delicious, pure Hitch in a fast train, a whole conspiracy when it was in the making, but as tender and touching, as a song memorized by a grandma spy. Hithc rediscovers clisés, make them own, learns and teach...” read more

“(NX) Nightmarish more than existencial (in spite that , in film noir tradition, wit voice in off and typical supporting characters tries to be so in the first half); long shots, some touching characters looking for tender moments (the boy in tha cave, the girl opposed to the femme fatale of the firs” read more

“(OK) Borzage os for love stories, so he doesn't suffer too much with tue visible mutilation of political anti nazi discourse. Sullvan is excellent, and makes believable that 3 friends love her, but one (Taylor) has to be the favourite, even she is more sincere with Tone.” read more

“(OK) Intertwinned stories in the anticipation of the all cast catastrophe films of 70s (well, it began with "Grand Hotel" in early 30s); some too corny, too political naif. Good cast, fast paced. Quinn, Roland, Lamour, Morley, good quartet. Cummings in his beginnings; Ayres too light...” read more

“(OK) Good cast, nor surpassed by strange 'angel' Veidt. Too much morality when cinicism and vanity is ramping. Frank Cellir as opposed to Veidt is excellent.” read more

“(OK) Wilcox makes wonders with Anna, and oposing a wise Hardwicke/Charles II. The duel (all the film) between Nell and the duchess (climaxing in the huge hat gag) has a lot of charm.” read more

“(OK) I understand why british cinema didn't allow Jessie to go Hollywood. Esplendid, tender and firm dancer entertainer. Sonnie Hale is sympathetic and puts the comic charm. An almost mature early musical.” read more

“(OK) So vivid, the Erie Chennel is more than a backgrounf is a way of life and feeling against another woay of life and feeling desired by Fonda in big debut. Gaynor is perfect, ans the resto of cast, bully but in a way noble Bickford, funny Slummerville with his tooth tool, the camel by the histori” read more
