Back Street review

(OK) Sullavan excells as always, is even better than Irene Dunne in 1932. Stevenson puts some dinamism, in exteriors is better (the pair in the dock, in the hay, in the ship to Europe)...

Mission to Moscow review

(OK) Compromise film,on diplomatic efforts to make USA/Russia alliance. Huston, as USA ambassador in Moscow, rallies aroind the flags of war...Eleanor Parker goor juvenile ornament

Baby Face Nelson review

(OK) Love this. So modest, so great. Rooney is a young and tinier Cagney, less grumpy, same violence, just love Carolyn Jones (wonderful here), deconstructing and same time building its character and saga against Chicago police and against Dillinger better deserved fame...Hardwicke is the best, a drunkard over all the violence...

Crash Dive review

(OK) Fox just wanted to make a war effort with its rutilant stars (Power, Dana and Baxter), tehcnicolor (excellent and wasted Leon Shamroy photography) and a stupid plot of impossible heroics where nobody, but olf Gleason, dies.

Baccara review

(OK) Berry is wonderful, as tender as cinic, lover and lovable of the woman he married almost by accidente. His relationship with Baroux si explained just in the end. Mixed feelings all along the film...

The Wonderful Country review

(OK) Mitchum as its best, is a frontier man, crossing in action ans spirit the Rio Grande many times. His voyages are as beautifully staged as his laying with a broken leg. The wonderful country is not that of Pedro Armendáriz (San Miguel Allende's location?) but in Mitchums mind...

Frenchman's Creek review

(OK) Rediscovering Leisen. This is a subtle adventure romantic passionate film projected from ladies pre victorian constraint. Fontaine is convincing in lady and pirate for a day, lover always...

The Extraordinary Adventures of Mr. West in the Land of the Bolsheviks review

(OK) American inspired and american criticizing confusing film. The cowboy has enough charm to gets a russian camarad but West is too stupid. The collection of sordid false bolcheviks saves the film...

The Adventures of Baron Munchausen review

(OK) Wonderful in all its extension, in every detail and episode. In the moon it becomes, good timing, dense and sad with the detah of a friend. The clisé of the man eating Catherina is well surpassed by Munchhausen himself.... seel the tail of Catherinas dress following the baron, baron and his tirkish delight blowing the sail....
