(OK) Not a sequel, but a return to the them and mythical spot, more agile and funny, but a contrived and a bit confusing plot.

(OK) A myth is born or reinforced, in spite of the argument, of sort of coldness in the desert (Hawks "Fazil" goes further in melodrama), but production is more occupied in Valentino...

(OK) Pure genre, pure musketeer sub sub genre; woth the twist of having a female redhead musketeer. O'Hara could stole camera, but productio respect Wilde...

(OK) Partial biopic supporting the idea of Billie discriminated through persecution against drugs (more than credible) but somehow missing some points of how she must feel; and focusing on Jimmy Fletcher character....

(OK) Long, the depiction of Anja´s cancer and dignified life and wedding is almost Tv dramaturgic, but there´s some passon in it, some no answers that gives more strenght than hope...

(OK) Cottafavi makes it harder than other adaptations; his elegant following Laage fron distance and even in close up, goo support from Gabrielle Dorziat as the bawd

(OK) The idea of the treasure is ok but lacks argumentative support (why is the boy so interested, he has something to pay? his mother´s hospiltal bill?), the teacher is a loose character, the afgan girl is a loose romantic interest....

(OK) Hopkins understands all, maybe better than Colman. Zeller doesn't achieves the transposition of stage to the London flat, and loses the efectiveness of a great ending...

(OK) Always correct, good themes, Agnieska. Always a lack of style and brio. Conventional narrative of trial and flashbacks...

(OK) Delluc shows here jis fascination with bars and 'matelots', he amuses just presenting each sailor, each whore...
