The Adventures of Hajji Baba (1954) review

Posted : 4 years, 11 months ago on 21 June 2020 04:01 (A review of The Adventures of Hajji Baba (1954))

(YT) Sensual, fantastic, amusing but with an anchor in the violent reality of non forgotten persian past. A surprise from a genre that never explored its limits...

Flight for Freedom review

Posted : 4 years, 11 months ago on 21 June 2020 03:57 (A review of Flight for Freedom)

(OK) Russell, well served by Lothar Mendes and sets, gives intensity to her flyers. Buy lacks the mithical stature of Amelia Earhard, in whom is based. MacMurray is too light, Marsahll is better...

Pat and Mike review

Posted : 4 years, 11 months ago on 21 June 2020 03:54 (A review of Pat and Mike)

(OK) Kate and his pushes for excellency character, only Cukor undestrands its limits (and Tracy of course), adult comedies for the not to adult 50s...

The Marrying Kind review

Posted : 4 years, 11 months ago on 21 June 2020 03:52 (A review of The Marrying Kind)

(OK) The mature, quiet, serene Cukor made his characters out of his actors. Judy and Aldo Ray compose a marriage with all possible ups and downs, includin the tragedy of losing a child...and there are amusing dreams..

With a Smile review

Posted : 4 years, 11 months ago on 21 June 2020 03:48 (A review of With a Smile)

(OK) Nice bad smiling cinic Chevalier and his apprentice wife. What they make on André Lafeaur is antologique. Soft sordid background...

The Moon Is Down review

Posted : 4 years, 11 months ago on 21 June 2020 03:45 (A review of The Moon Is Down)

(OK) Sad, lourd, somber antinazi film form the civil side. Steinbeck's pacifist universla side. Hardwicke is excellent and Travers tries to reach him.Lee Jo Cobb is wasted. Heroism is forced...can't expect otherwise in 1943

Variety Girl review

Posted : 4 years, 11 months ago on 21 June 2020 03:40 (A review of Variety Girl)

(OK) An exercise on star recognizing and enjoying them. Hope and Crosby have thier usual stuff; Lancaster and Lizabeth amuse themseleves. Coper, Goddard Milland do almost nothing. Bendix is hilarious hitting a pomelo a la Mae Clarke, in Olga San Juan's face.

Before the Deluge review

Posted : 4 years, 11 months ago on 21 June 2020 03:31 (A review of Before the Deluge)

(OK) Lourcelles praises this film because grandilocuent Cayatte works out his thesis, thar heavy fathers, for diverse cuases (leftist Blier, jew hater Balpetré, careless isa Miranda...) makes their children feel the urge to evade the deluge. He succeeds¡

The Human Comedy review

Posted : 4 years, 11 months ago on 21 June 2020 03:25 (A review of The Human Comedy)

(OK) Every character, mostly Fay Bainter and dead ray Collins, preach Saroyan texts, and that's heavy; but Brown's bathes everuthing with americana charm. Rooney and the boys, tne drunking Morgan, are there to enjoy... Look for Mitch debut...

The Catered Affair review

Posted : 4 years, 11 months ago on 21 June 2020 03:22 (A review of The Catered Affair)

(OK) Brooks is always correct,even in this neorrealist piece of americana. I have to admit that Betteis even great in this miscasting, even better than stereotyped Borgnine. Debbie ok, buy grumpy Fitzgerald always steal scenes...
