(OK) A minor Ford, but with flavour in other land. Humour in every inch, but the anecdtoes are a bit trucuclento for the idea of having just a normal rich journey...

(OK) Dwan has here an excellent hand for comic cotidianeity, choral protagonism with an anchor in Winninger and Lockart. It's even pedagogic in teaching he value of circulating money...

(OK) Ray anticipates the spirit of Peckinpah's "Junior Bonner". Afeter the great secuence/idea of Mitchum crawling under his house to find some souvenirs from childhood; begins another film with a trio and rodeo agonic independence background.

The speedy tongue in chic serial, cool sometimes, but too unrealistic and dehumanized in other parts. Ford dominatrs cast and tone.

(OK) Oh, Guitry, such good dialogues, and versartile structure. His women are as liberated as his men, but its wonderful when one of the clochards abandons Marguerite Moreno bacause doesn´t want to lose his street freedom.

(OK) Mature melodrama with social assistance, boys abandoned to a irresponsible couple who exploits them. They steal camera to the adults and their frivolity or violence...

(OK) It takes some time to get in Ozu, because there´s an entire life pictured in the ellipsis and silence between the encounters father and son... passion is so cooled off in Ozu, but happyness is triunphant in the fishing scenes, as sadness is pictured in the boy crying in off...
