(OK) The 1st part in the restaurant is rough slapstick, anti bourgeois, then in the rink is nicer and more elegant, with unavoidable Edna's love interest...

(OK) One of the pure classics, this is coregraphic, Charlie evading dancing the masseur, then in the sliding door, all people drunken in the fountain...

(OK) Good slapstick in and against a vaudeville, that's nice, seeing Charlie in 2 roles, throwing thing to poor actors and messing the audience...

(OK) Patriotism with a religious twist, more evident in dialogues than in action. Alan Hale is the priest agent, haha. The boys wanting to fight after theier leave, too much...

(OK) Another 'vague', in Switzerland, but the angry young man is an old one, exquisite Francois Simon (Michel's son), comprehensive and unsufferable and passif ath the end...

(OK) A great Mann and the Victor Mature ever, as a force of instinct. His feeling for Bancroft against Preston (another kind of madman) is as passionate as his feeling to be a part of the system (the army) in his own terms...

(YT) Boys are too enthusiast on being trained to go to fight, as O'Brien, Don Taylor, etc, and that's pure formula; but thier girls have a good secuence seeing their planes leaving to Asia over the Frisco Bay. And there´s Judy Holliday and Jeanne Crain before being stars.

(OK) Hithc had a lot of things cleared up in his first talkie, dialogues can be banal but action neves, specially when the evil guy is followed to the ceiling of a national monument (anticipation of "Saboteur" ending), and women cal be deceiving...

(OK) A poor Walsh as this is 3 stars because there is a special cammaraderie between characters, nice and bitchy women competing, and vivid characters...

(ZW) Well consistent narration on variations on cult of death between a pair that comunicates their unrequitted love in thar cult...
