“Minnelli is complete here, black or white, and with 'heavenly' plot; Waters is as greta as Horne in her few scenes. There's sense of space (Waters running to Eddie being shot; thu tornado¡¡), and music” read more
“Plot, direction, even acting by John Payne, are tight and right. The mask idea the reunits Preston Foster, Neville Brand, Lee Van Cleef and jack Elam in a mexican hotel, waiting to the loot, great...” read more
“Fleming, Tracy and Dunne, and Ward Bond and james Gleason (one of his best parts), and even Lionel Barrymore as god, makes anything believable. Even Dunne seduced by young Van Johnson...” read more
“With such a cast handled good by Wood, does'nt matter how stagey could be. Pidgeon is great explaining why he has to allow Gable to sacrifice pilots, Donlevy is also great trying to make a decision, even Hodiak is ok” read more
“Charming Caleton Carpenter makes believable his friendship with the lion. Nice contrast with cinic Janet Leigh, in a way she is the male here.” read more
“Delicate romantic comedy, Liz seducing arrogant charming Larry Parks, embracing him in a plot with complicity of her parents; in contrart with New Haven children dance professor...” read more
“Little fireworks in a court, with tongue in cheek Conway and a weak plot of lawyer mixed up with gangsters and her fiancee, bah” read more
“Great love affair, by a cosmopolitan Dieterle. Jona is great, delicate; Cotten is cool. Locations are elocuente, Npales, Capri and Florence, there's a 'Viaggio a Italia' qulity now and then; and Francoise Rosay is always a good support” read more
“(oK) Here's everything that is in "Ace in the hole" or another prejudice big media americana, with great mob lynching finale and epilogue recited by Gloria Dickson. Oh Lana's sweater...” read more
“(OK) This and "Born to be bad" are professional, unattractive plots for Ray, but how he learns form acting here. Grahame is so wonderful now I understand why he married her.” read more
“(OK) Unnatractive plot, bur Ray makes Fontaine more than credible; and proyects on Ryan and Ferrer, one passionate, one cinic, loving/hating Fontaine. Too much hot kisses, too many dialogue...” read more
“(OK) Weak remake of "A free soul", Liz has too matura lines for her age and frivolity. Lamas is the cliche latin semental, Powell is drinking as usual” read more
“(YT). If it were for the beginning reprised at teh end, a big Hollywood scene mounted for the plot, would deserve 3 stars. Sterling has good bitchy dialogues against men. Nader is a semental, Lamarrvelous is ok. Powell is lousy and miscast.” read more
“(YT) She is ravaging. at her peak of beauty and real acting in some moments. Stevenson accompanies her well till the plot becomes a naif love story with O'Keefe. Loder (Lamarr's husband) is better.” read more
“Melodrama noir by a Mielestone commited to his material. There's a bit of real destructive passion between Heflin and Stanwyck, specially in the hill bonfire sequence. Douglas is great in his debut.” read more
“This a thriller, tense and one logn unstoppable idea, bravo Ida. Talman is a great bad man and deserves all the closeups he has and he steals to O'Brien and Lovejoy” read more
“(YT) Irresistible cast, Lamour, Hayden and Duryea are above the clisés and the absurd plot of a psycologist that uses the dream of a client (Napier) to commit a stupid crime...” read more
“Douglas is always ok, but this mccartyist plot is so weak.. Hayward puts english elegance and O'Keefe is a gentleman, bah” read more
“(YT) Just for the close ups of Basehart in front of the mirror (staring himself or treating a bullet hurt) ant the frustrated escape throught the sewers” read more
“(YT) 3 strar because Wise here learns how to amuse with so few elements, and a poor plot. But locations and characters in Mexico, good ol Ricardo Cortez, charming roads” read more
“(NX) Farrellys is the bes that has happened to comedy in last decades; they have the sex dirty animal touch, and besides a tender old touch...” read more
“(YT) The tender 'Boule de souif' with tender Wise/Simone moments, especially when she has to sing for the german. She enlightens what war heroism resistance plot by Emory, weakens.” read more
“(NX) There's the 'Breaking bad' moral, and Branston repeat it at the end; but, in most parts is just Aaron's surviving through affected crminals... regular” read more
