(OK) Polici buddy film with a professional existentialist look on police life and death. George C. Scott's suicide is a wonderfull poetic touch...

(OK) Wonderfull plot, adventure and intimate melodrama, the damned women are both (victim and victimaire) and the prison chorus entire; the mutiny is pre anthology...

(OK) So consistent ans sustained in its grandeur, since the beginning with the child's play battle in the snow. There the film is planted, in great episodes, of personal intimate story and big History...

(OK) Wonderful, Flaherty knows how to reennact, takes profit, convince, follow his character and his facts; he's well above the discussion of hoy a doccumentarist or a poet he is...

(OK) New vison and my same old refusal of racism: it not only simplifies character and facts, distorts scenes (the girl cound't be raped, she had to kill herself; mulattos has to le lascivious more than clever, bah)...

(OK) Full and early sychoanalisis, too much explanation of character and his dream, and a not too explored surrealism spirit that could be Buñuel and Dali's...

(OK) Wise man Wise, his direction accompanies Crichton intuitions on machine, war and security systems, there´s no manicheism here, there´s something else in the long description fo tehnical proceedings, there´s a sort of observation of future...

(OK) Hey! This is Lewis at his best before "Gun crazy". The plot is wonderful, direct, extraordinarily exposed, subjective point of vue is mocked by facts, there´s as much surprise as suspense...

(OK) What else, Tis is myth, Sisifus and absurd, and poetry with repetitions and geometry and cadence, and paroxims and even those heavenly choreographies in wich you understand why subversive Laurel needs dominant Hardy...

(OK) The world is a stage is a murder is the wrong girl, all Hithcock is here in a sort of heavy talkie with some style (expressionist settings) deviations. Certain problems of rythm but you forget with wonderful scenes as the false murderer being mocked with an applause in prison or the killer hanging...those kind of suspensions in the air are so hitchcokian...
