(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...

(OK) Like a good 4 chapters of the serie, with creative use of color, and funny gags on old bloody England. The invited cast, Teery Thomas, Hermione Gingold and John Carradine is very amusing and amused.

(OK) A good Lloys thanks to 2 big chained gags scenes: the magician tuxedo he uses by error and the fight in the stage. The double woman who manipulates him for love is a good plot.

(OK) The drama of being way in victorian England was peculiar, everything goes through other institutions as class and breeding and education... Maurcie is without knowing, a great disturbing character. There´s passion sometimes in the frozen Ivory waters...

(OK) Funny film, great duo Simon and Berry, but the argument loosens when Berry is kidnapped in a kind of russian country... the plot was to good to be so manipulated...

(OK) Henry Hull, great actor wasted to the horror universe, al leats was in this anticipation of werewolf theme, with the moon inspiration, the lock himself drama, and just a flower instead of a silver bullet as diference,

(OK) Little mixture of crime and horror film, with Ellen Drew talking to the camera walking through the fog, and a gorilla guided by his human brain...

(OK) Not 'sulpician' but contemplative of poor's life, and masochistitc santity of Vincent de Paul. Great Anouilh's dialogues between Fresnay, cardinal and queen.

(OK) Has all, even great comedy with Chaplin and Martha Raye and small actors delivering great lines or moments. Serene or acting impromptus, Chaplin/Verdoux tastes life without moral complications, but estetic and sort of traditional values...
