(OK) I understand why british cinema didn't allow Jessie to go Hollywood. Esplendid, tender and firm dancer entertainer. Sonnie Hale is sympathetic and puts the comic charm. An almost mature early musical.

(OK) So vivid, the Erie Chennel is more than a backgrounf is a way of life and feeling against another woay of life and feeling desired by Fonda in big debut. Gaynor is perfect, ans the resto of cast, bully but in a way noble Bickford, funny Slummerville with his tooth tool, the camel by the historic Booths, even Margarte Hamilton is not an ugly woman for once.

(OK) Just to see James DEan in the background, with one lousy line. In the front line, Lewis and Martin routines, all the body clowning and even dancing to Jerry; not all the romance and singing to Dean. Corinne Calvett is just ornamental

(OK) One of the best Fontaine and Wood, too. Almost baroque, with laces, soft focus, strange close ups (witch una O'Connor regarding Ivy before mistelling her fortune); real good thriller of an ambitious woman between not 2 but 3 men. And her nemesis Cedric Hardwicke

(OK) Good copy, good Wise, great cast commandes by cool just a few words Cotten, and precocious ol captain Chandler, with a poetic ending after saying goodbye to a sleeping unrequitted love Linda Darnell. Best of all, great action, big shot photography.

(YT) Tourneur goes easy with this kind of material; makes pauses for romance (nice editing of Calhoun and pretty Tierney in the open space), and has some action in the jesuitic estancias near Cordoba, Argentina.

(OK) Its a long long anecdote, build on moving trailer slapstick gags (Lucy trying to cook breaking eggs, falling in the mud, etc; Desi driving in a high road, that's a good one); and has his americana charm on it, with families in summer trunks and all that stuff

(Canal Filmoteca Unam) Extraordinario Rosalío mendoza, la ambiguedad, la personalidad, no hay juego claro con él y sin embargo cuantos sentimientos; Lolita lo complementa perfectamente. Grandes secuencia donde se lucen secundarios como el asistente y el general gobiernista

Rara, grave, expresionista en decorados y cuadros (algunos inclinados), drama de miradas pues los actores son pausados y declamativos (Emma Roldán que gran secundaria es); todo se resume en el aún más irreal convento

(OK) Wise wise; he learns to direct great actresses (Neal and Parker better than Roman), stay with them in good close ups, enmarked in windows and gates), good mixinf of the 3 stories
