(OK) Just a few non Hollywood director could made such an spectacular film/enterprise with his local industry. Politics, religion and a bit of sex; all mixed and battled. Pretty composition, and camera movements over the sand and the stones...

(OK) Intimist and suspensefull; Rossellini and the spectator are under Ingrrid's skin. We feel her and follow her and suspend our judgement waiting -RR is a chistian- for ilumination. It arrives

(OK) Little comedy of moors. Cowl is sympathetic, non handsome non ugly, nod determined nos submissive; a francois moyen with his charm and good commentaries on war...

(OK) We needed the 'retour'. he first one was so rich that had to be continued firm the minute it ended. Fernandel is punished in the mountain (there´s some christian passion with the big cross, the Don Camillo passion) and then makes his happy return. The flood of the end has to be real...

(OK) Mature, social background, multi topic; but with two solid characters and a precious bond between them: compteition of power, church and marxism, and friendship. Too much for just one film...

(OK) Marc Allegret in the best of his charm. Choral, romantic, well balanced between voluble even hideous Odette Joyeaux and Blier, and other good people in love. Good atmospher for the debut of Gerard Philippe

(OK) Some gothic touch, dickensian, in a little Temple vehicle. The music in not well integrated, as some secondary characters...

(OK) Haven´t seen the very long version, but Lourcelles says the shorter one is prettuy much better. Yeah, it has his charmfull humour, no judging approach to irresponsible african millionaires for nothing...

(OK) Clement puts class and some style in this chant a la resistance. Bou Noel Noel has his own sobriety and elegance to play with orchids and nazis...

(OK) La comedie noire et absurd reaches a sublime point, as a a sunrise ending after a nightmarish night, in the zoo.
