(OK) Not just a vehicle for Temple; an hommage to both sides virtues, specially south, with tap and black face and Bill Bojangles. Butler, honest artisan.

(OK) Nagib Mafuz is so universal that yoo don't have to know egiptian politics, to catch the dilemmas and appretn idiot plots of classes and despicable moods: the heroe is not the soisticate bourgeois leftist, even he is beaten; but the girl obligued to be the minister's lover and his contract husband, so despised by everubody that doesn'nt matter he es free to have romance with the woman...

(OK) As simple as 'hi lili hi lo (the song)', soft choreographry, 2 dreams as vvid as real scenes and the romantic poetic naiveté of Leslie in beaiiful contrat to everybodies adultness....

(OK) In the beginning, some confussions becuase of many characters and a wrong resemblance to a ligh comedy of soldiers and thier maitresses, buy in he end the fatality makes everything wonderfull, elegant, touching and sad

(OK) Perfection, abstraction of mood and form, when Laurel and hardy get to the sky and every gag is an equlibrium...

(OK) A comedy or moors and social struggle (la societé vs la boutique), with nice touches (the encounter of Odette and the king where she explains the struggle, Carette teaching how to dance to each side) and a nice cast: fresh handsome as never Perier, excellent Allermé...

(OK) Valli is too much woman and actress for a schoolgirl, bur there she is commanding an italian genre film, neat and agile in enery aspect, and conventional in limits and specially in its happy ending

(OK) Imagination and ambition in the end of silent films. Commiting Noah's story is too much for everybody, and add the war and the train accident. Lot of themes (including the buddy responsible war topic) are announced here... And he talkie segments brings the inusual realism of a realist scene in english and french in Paris...

(OK) Sort of empty elegance; but, in the menatime, notes on french history and sprit. A serial killer is a perfect alibi for a film of sketches with no sketches but a strong bizarre character as Charles Denner could be. Michele Morgan beats Darrieux here...

(OK) The only film directed by scriptwriter Hnery Jeanson is an exercise on mood and joy not on structure or dialogues. Everything os smooth and funny as in the stage where Susy Delair has an irresistible charm...Jouvet amuses himself always
