“(OK) Just to see James DEan in the background, with one lousy line. In the front line, Lewis and Martin routines, all the body clowning and even dancing to Jerry; not all the romance and singing to Dean. Corinne Calvett is just ornamental” read more
“(OK) One of the best Fontaine and Wood, too. Almost baroque, with laces, soft focus, strange close ups (witch una O'Connor regarding Ivy before mistelling her fortune); real good thriller of an ambitious woman between not 2 but 3 men. And her nemesis Cedric Hardwicke” read more
“(OK) Good copy, good Wise, great cast commandes by cool just a few words Cotten, and precocious ol captain Chandler, with a poetic ending after saying goodbye to a sleeping unrequitted love Linda Darnell. Best of all, great action, big shot photography.” read more
“(YT) Tourneur goes easy with this kind of material; makes pauses for romance (nice editing of Calhoun and pretty Tierney in the open space), and has some action in the jesuitic estancias near Cordoba, Argentina.” read more
“(OK) Its a long long anecdote, build on moving trailer slapstick gags (Lucy trying to cook breaking eggs, falling in the mud, etc; Desi driving in a high road, that's a good one); and has his americana charm on it, with families in summer trunks and all that stuff” read more
“(Canal Filmoteca Unam) Extraordinario Rosalío mendoza, la ambiguedad, la personalidad, no hay juego claro con él y sin embargo cuantos sentimientos; Lolita lo complementa perfectamente. Grandes secuencia donde se lucen secundarios como el asistente y el general gobiernista” read more
“(OK) Wise wise; he learns to direct great actresses (Neal and Parker better than Roman), stay with them in good close ups, enmarked in windows and gates), good mixinf of the 3 stories” read more

“(YT Canal Filmoteca UNAM) Gran historia, thriller y melodrama con fonde de revolución, diálogos perversos, y un final forzado para esquivar el otro final que debió ser en el paredón.” read more
“(YT Canal Filmoteca UNAM) Buena copia restaurada de un Gavaldón que se luce componiendo sobre grandes decorados, incluyendo la típica buhardilla ´rincón de cielo´. La Dolores glamorosa le gana de lejos a la otra, pero una vez que muere, se funden las dos. Hasta hay una procesión de navidad pre” read more
“(OK) The best is not the Minnelli segmento with peotry fan Caron; but Reinhardts segment with Sheares. She dance for the camera, never forgets to act, her big number is well edited with Mason's reaction. In Minnellis is the artificial charm of Rome, and in the last Reinhardt´s episode set decors a” read more
“(OK) The causl love affair mount up ok, the city is present (a bit forced the idea of Central Park sounds are music without Judy singing), the confusion in the metro, the night delivering the milk of James Gleason; but there's a non originaln, non inspired, predicatble story...” read more
“(OK) Fleming is a bronco director, so vital, bright in the firs part in (supposedly) Chile; but then when he has to serve the shenanigans between Gable and Grason, approaches ridicule. The fights between them and Blondell, are so grandilocuent that the gestures and brawls couldn't improve. Mitchell ” read more
“(OK) So delicate, unglamorous, the war just as social background for lovers called each other Snapshot and Useless; Lana is more against type than Gable; the idea of concentrating in just one death, Cameron Mitchell, by malaria and not in actions, sums it all” read more
“(YT,OK) Tight, hard and even tender. Love the idea sequence of the barefoot froting, Gene Evans thinks Basehart foot and not his is frozen. The cave, the snow, the fire are the elemnets that puts some poetry in the harsh fullerian style” read more
“(OK) The final Wood is a vivid western in a fort, with two love stories, women torn between brave fatal men; a well mounted final ambush after a false one, an agile taylor catching indians; but lacks the humour and love of civilization Ford or Mann could put in this” read more
“(OK) Rossen has to explain in a way whar are bulls and bullfightin, why a matador has fear and hate the world, and survives the tragedy of Quinn and Miroslava. Tha absurd of life, blood and sand...” read more
“(OK) Rossen loves his characters, Dick/Powell is hideous but elegant with strange sidekick John Kellog. Women are all seductive and suffering. Drew is the best, hating and kneeling before huge Thomas Gomez better than ever...” read more
“(OK) Monicelli at last and at large, even with Steno; Toto and the scritp have a philosophy on women, all kinf of, reoclected by Toto in his accounts to Peppino, who has one sketch.The dance with the sad whore in the bar is an antecedent of the Pulp Fiction dance.” read more
“(OK) The fors by Monicelli, is a very idiot plot, against journalism and early globalization, ending a a UN assembly; as pretentious as simple. The dream and episodic plot is poor...” read more
“(OK) WB feared its own movie and its social implication. That makes this a unique film of social struggle dilemma by a sensitive Barthermess torn between his poor folks and the Bette household, comprehensive at the end. Blakcks are the background's bacckground...” read more
“Minnelli complete: music, dance and comedy, Skelton has his own long routines and some funny gestual remarks, some absurds too (he havin a goldmine), and cast is ok (Thurston Hall, Sam Levene), black music is well staged by the "Cabin in the sky" director, (a pitty Louis Armstrong is not the trumpet” read more
