(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.

(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...

(OK) In the wake of "So proudly we hail" but more stereotyped, less good acting (Ella Raines is poor, Sothern is ok and bitchy, Sullavan ins always excellent)...

(OK) Clean, nice, elegant scope Walsh with a greta heroine, Jane Russell selling herself to ascend in Honolulu; devouring Egan and doing what she wantas. Ages Moorehead is divine.

(OK) Nice beginning with the 2 Brigittes introducing themselves; then pure nouvelle vague more selg mocking than derrotist

(oK) Reallly hilarious when Kate is knighted, and then in the duel with the iron 'armadura' magnetized, and besides whth dances and choreography

(OK) Wonderful and simple and so clean anarchism. The affair between Granval and his bonne is son charming amoral as the one between

(OK) Lovable settings that made child Stan and Oli look funny small while doing pure slapstick; the adults ones are developing its voice...
