(OK) Good beginning but then, becomes so selfconscious, humour forced, reiterative... Undefined point of view, not of the 'twice hanged hero' that doen't recognice himself, not of the idiotic gardian capable of killing a woman...

(OK) The plot becomes lousy, but is so well narrated and directed and acted by Chaney, that you forget it. Chaney climbing with his hands to see his women workers, is just great...

(OK) Chaplin reached maturity in the early 20's. Here you have simple gags but bitter ironic depiction of a community devoted to a false priest, himself...

(OK) Good heart daddy Tourneur, is more fascinated with people than with devil (as his son Jacques), and here you have great grosse Baur in 4 stories more integrated tham simple sketches...

(OK) Great and poignant argument, less melodramatic and more 'social' commentary as similar indian films. Faten Hamama lends a star touch...

(OK) Jack Webb holds everything, even the trumpet and the noirish aged voice in off. Very well directed, resumed in the stylized ending, good cast, what else?

(OK) Gremillon is great wiht a perfect story as "Le ciel est a vous" and with a harsh one as this, with characters fighting for protagonism, and becoming hosts of strange passions..., some baroquism on limpid waters as in "Lumiere d'ete"...

(OK) Simpld, unglamorous, poor cast, but that man attached to a bed, eyes wide open, telekinesia of all sorts, sensual, dangeroous, irresistible, makes the film...

(OK) Hollywood making Pasteur's elocuent story of revolutioning medical practice withe si ence and discorvering the principle of vaccines, fighting woth prejudice; in pills and pieces of action and een romance of his assintant ans daughter...

(OK) Not a 'pasteurized' Guitiry bus a Pasteus with a Guitry humour and passion...but an ocassion for the master, just beginning his lonf feature career, visit some topics as war and scientific academic prejudice, not frecuent in his cinema
