(OK) Farrow has some fordian virtues when depicting men in war. Bendix is, here, his McLaglen. He and Preston are the heart of the film, really comic and brave.

(OK) Full of charm, complicity (the Mills and Boulting), and soft satire of gossipy prejudiced community. Not angry youn people, but temporarily uneased happily reconciled with life and sex...

(OK) Little gem, tongue in chic, with an author inside the film, Lugosi jailes with a gorilla and having the assitnace of Minerva Urecal, a pity the serial killer part is too short...

(OK) More clean, dramatic, and same time, has an almost comic anecdote of Apu married with an unknown bride... Apu has a grear dramatic trouble, is a good man who fights with his sense of loss and responsability... and urban and rural backgrounds are so well connected/contrasted”

(OK) Aparajito is a perfect scale, Varanasi and the polluted Ganges, to explain how Apu begins his way to Calcutta, in spite of her mother, so contrived character in Pather Panchali...

(YT) Since my first view I loved one simple scene, less than scena, a detail, in which the agonizing grandmother throws the remaining water over a little plant. She, dry and curved, worries about that simple thing. Therés a sense of loss of past and future in Ray's trilogy, beginning here

(OK) Besides the great imagination conceptualization of labour force mechanized in scale, before Chaplin's "Modern times", is not too much. The clochard end has some charm

(OK) Good Forbes, this is a good and credible thriller because, he makes wonder with Kim Stanley crazyness and Attemborough lack of autorithy. That marriage is tha cause of tragedy, and psychic background is so natural...

(YT) Chines suprise. The melange of melodrama and comedy is charming, even with sad songs, and joyfull, playfull moments with the bunch of losers the heroine befriend. But the whore sister, always dressed in black, has the ominous fate of melodrama...
