(OK) Fleming and MGM look is there, and stars too and is really heavy to take Bergman as the prostitute in the beginning. As a frightenes and abused woman, there she is convincing. Tracy is always convincing. The dialogues are better than the washed gestures...

(OK) Early talkie and Mamoulian masterpiece, peek of precode morality and exploration on evil and instincts. March is appaing, monster (its a terror film outside the genre), the rounds with Hopkins are pure anthology

(OK) Surprise from jewish polish pre war cinema, etereal tragic romantic fantasy, touches of terror, depicting the greedy counting money , the vague elusive rabines...

(OK) Late silent (1934), with the sobriety of a talkie, great tragic actress Ruan Ling-Yu (commited suicide a year after), never overacts, she acts straight till the pure melodrama of the end

(OK) Elegant, sober and adult for being a child fantastic adventure in a school. Von Stroheim es a big boy in a way, bullied by an always amazing Michel Simon...

(OK) Good plot, the isolated community, an island of the end of France, sans pretre, and a good man convinced to take his place, honestly, beliavable...

(OK) It trascends academicism and conventional love story; Philippe and his impulsive naivete, his noblesse whan thinks in the husband and makes Micheline write to him, the undestatements between them...

(OK) Siodmak had rythm and energy here, a rare fantastic musical, naif, dinamique. The theatre as lodging place to the troupé is nice idea...

(OK) Such clean effective classicism, protagonist are not aware of the great momentso they're living, no one is too good or bad (the best is the 2nd fat officer, the relcxiams his honour in a duel)...

(OK) Forget the beginning, and began the cursed nightmaris deviation, with a peak whan wonderful Ann Savage, recriminares Neal for killing the owner of the car... then the scenes in the hotel of the pair are unforgivable...
