(OK) Great cast and director, the coolest trio Douglas/Lancaster/Lizabeth and even Corey is moving, and I spotted a small handsome character Mickey Knox; but the scritp is too self conscious, Scott and Lancaster have too many lines, the sequencue of the books explanation and the entire last part are a bit foolish (the clise of the frontpage with Lancaster's phot is too much)...

(OK) Pure equlibrium: between intimate melodrama (the rejected good husband, the loving but hard Victoria) and historical facts; between history and palace anecdotes; humoru and gravitiy. A folm of compromise in the correct performance of Neagle (how I missed Nell Gwynn¡) and the delicate Walbrook

(OK) Impossible to match the silent Griffith blocks of ice finale; but instead King and Fox explore the seocndary characters in a New England town in a the charming vein of Fleming's "The framer´s daughter". Margaret Hamilton walking in the snow to throw her gossip, mus have inspired her castin in Oz

(OK) Good ol King, pretty nice film of an inteleectual/action press obsession, againt nature and some good advice (from elusive muse Nancy Kelly, subtile love story never concluded) an already mature Tracy and wonderful Cedric hardwicke conductin a choir in the jungle.

(OK) Interesting character Lederer (and good actor), a magalomaniac well conducted by Robinson. A pity all is involved in a package of grandilocuent images of antiamericanism.

(OK) So simple and neat and sincere, the early deconstruction of an american character build from nothing, because you have the kind evocation by Ralph Morgan, commented by his bitter wife Sarah Padden. Tracy shows hoy overaged he could be and Colleen More is a pity of a lost actress.

(OK) Good restored version. Basically is the great overaged Robson finding Olivier (passionate but a bit funny) and Vivien froting in every corner; but now and then, when the plot is not too naif, good observations on power by Flora, the lords (Banks is a convincing Leicester) and Philip of Spain/Massey.

(NX) Llega a ser tediosa, por concentrarse en el encierro y no en la vida, falta allí menos incidencia muerta y más detalle vivo e íntimo, más elipsis. Qué malo es el doblaje al inglés.

(OK) Huge set imagination by Wells, Menzies and Korda. Not just in the futuristic sets, includin a rocket to the moon, and skycity; but in the pestilence/barbarism 1970 segment, anticipating the Mad max kind of aestetics...

(OK) So delicious, pure Hitch in a fast train, a whole conspiracy when it was in the making, but as tender and touching, as a song memorized by a grandma spy. Hithc rediscovers clisés, make them own, learns and teach...
