(OK) Feyder is a complete filmmaker here. The sense of location, the languid and sweaty tone, he great Francoise Rosay managing le 'grand jeu' of fate...

(OK) Becker excells in many fields: direction ( the groupal scenes with different actions) the acting (Le Vigan as Tonkin is great when becoming mad), the realis and depicitng the micrcosmos with the Goupi code...

(OK) Even in he long solo career to the wedding (less comic and flamboyant than Keaton's "Seven chances") a comedy of character, with lod evolvinf frm naif an shy and fanstasious to a guy in love, with bright moments, as the affaire near the lake with the reflection of the girls face and the turtle gag

(OK) A hawksian early Hawks. The essence of his code of masculinity friendshipand responsability above women is there, rambling, fighting an with tender and funny moments too.

(OK) Trepidant nervous, sordid, Melina enlightens all, in spite of not her anxiety to become a lady is not so exploited. The good ones arte to silly; but over those flaws, a powerfull film

(OK) Verbal, character comedy, 'Father of the bride' italian style pluz class difference, with a rich man (great acting) more popular than the modest one...

(OK) A bit more than a generation/friends saga around a tender funny girl (Jodt Thelen never better, never star again) and fierce Kirk Douglas' like Craig Wasson. The Isadora Duncan stuff is lovable as the fat friend irrestricted love for all his fiends.In the middle the decadence of the aristocratic famil is a highlight...

(OK) I like the cosmic figth broogut from the sciende statios to the hiperdigitalized dosctor house, his creation against Julie christie and a devoured friend, plis the I want a baby stuff. The special effects are poor...

(OK) Pastoral subversive comic Bach against stiffed hideous but funny Saturnin Fabre, with the help of Suzanne Dehelly; a microcosmic round film...

(OK) What happened woth Egypt and its cinema? Kind of rgression of this society who could produce modenity, neorrealism, constumbrism, tragedy and crime film of moors, in one short tight film...
