(Ok) Garnett shows his early talen; more character and atmosphere (depicted in excellent travellings in the street) thn action. Even the fight in the end, is pure atomosphere...the happy end is conventional, the spirit remains tragic...Handsome Holmes and Marjoria Rambeau are the best. Twelvetrees no.

(OK) Moving hagiographic, but sober when it has too, patriotic film in the edge of a new world war. Not too violent, not bloody; but fair in depicting treason and bravery...its structure of 3 divides parts makes it more spetial...

(Ok) After 'Julia Ross' Lewis made this! Almost poetic uneasiness, anti romantic, with bizarre details, Steven Geray investigates his own murders combining technique with existencialism, small great film...

(Mu) Fantastic meeting of two fantastic sailors. The best part is the long intro with an arrogant 'Bruto like' Sinbad surrounded by his parafernalisa

(Mu) Salles takes too much time, and laousy non lineal narration, to reach the characters and hoy they hit or are hit on the road. Once in the car with Mama, or in Lusiana, naked in Arizona, Mad in Mexico, sad in Denver, the film camen closer to honour Kerouac

(Mu) Subversive and interesting; a docu futurist activist blaxploitation fin of the radicla action of the Women's army...In the end there's a bomb on two towers that anticipate, in a way, the 11 S.

(Ok) Ah, Guitry never fails. He warns that everuthing is whimsical, disbalanced and loose here, but what matters? There are ideas and stars and some witty historiacal scenes as Michele Morgan maipulating (all women are great manipulators here) the king into marriage and convertion ('Paris is woth a mass' she says for posterity), or another woman advising the king to fall in love; Latude (Lamoureaux) is a good running hisorical gag in La Bastille...

(Mu) Alba Rohrwacher is the soul of a film that has some soft baroquism and mixed tecniques that no neccesarrily serves the essence and the plot. Those animation or figurative details distracts from the drama

(Mu) The early tales and comedies are a bit dried in htis too talkie Rohmer. A least, scenes with the fiend and the father have an interesting uneasiness, andt the heme of the lost collar, has a good ending...

(OK) Fisher early surprise. The psycho thirller plot, has some subtle humour of moors; of parisians acting as english hiding troubles just becuase of the great fair...a pitty this is not an Ealing comedy...
