(OK) Oh, these screamin italoamericans. Quinn is a tiring etnic impersonator; but Anna is realy great and makes believable her romance with Tony Franciosa. Calleia good discreet support...

(OK) How quick Hawks got the feel for talkies and action. Huston is commanding whrn walks in the patio of the prison; the romance between his daughter and an intern is a bit unbelievable...

(OK) One of the few 'hail the soviet allies', Taylor is more believable as a loving husband in the middle a war, than an orchestra director. Susan Peters, ¿why we don't see her enough?...

(OK) The army doesn´t matter, all is girls, music and enterprise. Prowse is a wonderful moving body. Nicest scene: Elvis and the marionette...

(OK) The mesocratic Cafe de Paris, Blier is everything french but handsome. The romance of Brunoy and Clariond, is not even passionate, not even romance, just a flirt, with a greta scene with a violin...

(OK) So nice constructed, frivolous and elegant, great Berry fighting for honor, the concurrents know better than police...

(OK) All the film you see a familiar comedy/drama of moors and harmony of 5 brothers; but is the long construction to explain that them all died in war; and thay's all. Mitchell and Royle, and a little star herl by Baxter is enough for Lloyd Bacon...

(YT) More than a benchmark, its pionerism its allied with audacity, effort, a convition to break the teasthrical proscenium view and find the charm of decors, of huge decors and ideas as throwing childs to a mouth of fire. I love the Archimede part, it seems in a way that Pastrone is playing Archimede playing god...

(YT) A benchmark of a style and a very clear, neat film with the Frankensteinian theme of a mad doctor impelling a victim (Veidt can be always moving, eveng sonnambule) but in a asylum mad tale frame....

(YT) Great Leni pushes expressionism till charm, adventure and humor. The first episode with jannings as the caliph of Bagdad is divine. Te Ivan the Terrible one, is somber, ludicrous...
