(OK) Anticipation of "The lady vanishes", the same speed and humour and 'I'm not that man believe me' stuff, great imagen as tha woman with the paper and the knive in her back...

(OK) Freda is trepidant and doesn't have to envy Hollywood too much; and is excellente in the end, in the snow of Russia, with many shades of white and passion of Gassman and his only love...

(OK) Really a perfect story for Holmes and for Hollywood, a piece of gothic horror, the hound exists, the intrigue, the moor, the fog, the fun of Holmes, the innocence of Henry Greene...

(OK) Lourcelles likes this apparently medium western, because is big in scope of themes (war, moral, even countries, North and South and Mexico) and instead of one strong male character has 3. Mc Crea when deceived in love by Malone and becomes alcoholic, is so against type...

(OK) Schematic and that is the limit and the grace. Going back to Baltimore, and the mother, but why Connery had to be so demonstrative; Hitch in a variation on expositios, no doubt.

(OK) One of the greatest and more complex Hitchs. Just the multilevel relationship between the Charlie´s , from love to death, and the amorality of excellent Cotten (is he the best of Hitch actors?) in a perfect little city is wonderful...

(OK) Hitch deviates, variates, amuses, making a 2nd version with change of places and functions of characters, specially casting Doris. Stewart prepares for his next collaborations...

(OK) Kind of 'Lady vanishes' less frivolous, less fun, even ludicrous when the action is compelled to the chapel and bullets are the soundtrack. ..

(OK) Poetic, a breeze of fantastic/terror, with purifying fire, poor actors or poor direction of actors (Renée is miscast, Pascal is better), Aslan is the best...

(OK) Everything in his place, maybe the gun in the hands of Simone is too oportunist device (I would've like another kind of chat dissapearance), but the chat is just an alibi to have the two sacred monsters in a ruined neighborhood/marriage...
