(OK) Bergman's early 'Scenes of marriage' here, with Gunnar and Eva rejoining and ending happily, because it is definetively a comedy...

(OK) As dated as contemporary, arrives to new topics (gender, for instance) through old plots, as change of sex here, romantic comedy stuff now and then. Great Hoffman, yes...

(OK) Tries to be bizarre and pre noir, but its kind of funny. Not Chaney, always conscious of his evil character, but the midget is. Abit talkie in the beginning but I like the ending in the cabin, wth the giant trying to shoot Chaney and the girl...

(OK) Heavy talkie, Bogart in a wrong way, before finding his characters. The plot sabotages romance, and don't know why MacKaill rejects Bogart till the end...

(OK) There it is, the reflection of the Empire State in the glass door of Irene´s apartment. Just fot this image, the whole film, modern melodrama with mystical touches in Madeira and New York, is worth high rating

(OK) Pretty poetic Kurosawa, the elegiac tone of the beginning changes for the war and then another kind of elegy, that of rural working...

(OK) Austere and effective. All in one set, teh house in wihc the fascism enters in the figure of the uncle, a monster that doesn't have enough reactions in the beginning...

(OK) One of the better Weir. Its not only british and french war, its war and passion for discovery. Crowe and his surgeon scientist friend comprehends each other so much that they fulfill thier obsessions even antogonizing. Crowe goes to Galapagos for him, he discorvers the french ship for him to fight...

(YT) Conchite Montenegro is very seductive and is credible that Cisco returns to her, but he prefers the widow. Besides that preferences, is a happy even dramatic not epic western, with mexican allure. Funny hear Baxter singing to the children "La cucaracha ya no puede caminar, porque no tiene mariguana que fumar". Happy innocent times.

(OK) Sad and consistent; the clown without knowing his success and then knowing it is irrelevant, because he leaves fame and romance, for remaining a tramp...
