(OK) In 60'2 Italy they manage genre mixin as well or better than in Hollywood because of the multieuropean cast and great locations, here Venice at its best.

(OK) Lourcelles consider this in his Dictionnaire, but don't sure if as an example of meta lingusitic humour, of the pilling up of clises wiht the alibi of humour. Grahame is not even turpid, not even sensual....some moments and gags kind of fun

(OK) Just fon once I've seen a chines film abstracted from its social actual grounds, even if its locates before the revolution. Has intimism till individualism, frustration, delicate cruelty, contention, romance...

(OK) George Sherman is an excellent artisan and here amuses himself becuase the circomstance and the genre allows him.

(OK) Jena Boyer is a kind of french Richard Thorpe, excellent dominion of genres, here the musical, with imaginative visual solutions (the singing 'cadres')...

(OK) Strange film as strange is the topic of jockey education in a pretty bad rural school. Paul Frankeur is as cruel as passionate and moving, he is the spirit of the film more than the abused boys

(OK) Delicate Chistian Jaque, good portrait of femmes, the honest romantic and the unsufferable that atrracts men, and Ledoux as father of both, and Perier as the unchosen boy...

(OK) Yeah, better than the more ambitious colour remake. This is as modest and firm as his character. Not a simple man, netiher a simpel story, because there´s too much socilal prejudices unexplicit...

(OK) Action, ful spectacle, and, yes, there's petry in the unveiling of swords and cirmes in he beginning, in silent suffering of Machyko Kyo, in la amour fou of the hero...
