(Mu) Lavardin enters when the story and toned is setted, but is fantastic pressing handsome Lucas, who is the real hero of the film, in spite of his psycho mother Stephane Audran. Small french cities are perfect for polar...

(OK) First complete Sirk melodrama, music as one of the themes, some mystic and painfull scenes, some emphasis in angles, boy most of all a good narration in spite of two and three times story...

(OK) Musis and easy romance in a mix of Spapin and Arabia, with russians in Hllywood marine style. Donlevy is spirited and Eve Arden is funny, becuase Ivonne is a lousy dancer and Aumont is a big smile and not the handsome star he could be...

(Mu) Great cast in an exhuberant multilayer (two historic moments and a operatic one) , 'drole', comic, with some tragic touches in the past....nice background the seminar... Ardant is so mature here...

(Mu) Rovette indulges too much in himselg, and its too long for a poor stoyr; but some interesting touches of characters confronted with elusive truth revelaed in chinese boxes..Maria and Joe as cat and mouse is interesting

(Usb) Homeless interviewed in an office and showed in its habitat. There´s no contemplation or field observation, but caring ans well informed approach...
