(OK) Effective, hard, violent in a way, depiction of a time, there are good an evil adults, but boys are always forgivable...no sex but a bit of impossible romance...

(OK) One of the best Taverniers, history approached in whimsical, suggestive, picaresque, scenes, as the son of the regent first noght orgams on his sheets; two mascarades in palace, the vital Pontcallec (Marielle) in each of his scenes...

(OK) Can't make an complete statement on this not knowing the long parts in Africa, with Swanson as a madame in the brothel. The log scens in the castlel are too frivolous, but ends excellent in the raging and whpiping of Gloria by the queen...

(OK) Dreyer is so mature here. Dame Margarett is so moving whan became aware of the young pair martyrdom, that dies for them poetically. Everyboy is good in the end, in the deep inner soul here.

(OK) fregonese got his 'Pampa bárbara' in Hollywood, thanks to Val Lewton. Simpe, directo and stylish same time; the half an hour attack on the church has everything effective in western history. Tha last minute cavalry rescue is even justified!

(OK) Rare and excellent, and in a way representative of Laurel and Hardy possibilities. Is there the archeology of Marily'ns great blowing of dress scene in "7 year itch"? Here Laurel has no lingerie and two women dismay, jaja

(OK) How Jeff Musso ended in Peru filmins a few bullshit films, I don't know; but his naiveté and energy is astonishing here. Barrault helps a lot, makes everything convincing. in this puritain killer...

(ok) It´s true, there´s somethinf raw, extreme, harsh about Universal late westerns.here Ivonne as one of the desired women facing Montgomery's savaga lay: when man is killed his wife of the one who takes her first...
