55 Days at Peking review

Ray trying to cope with Bronston's ambitions, chinese talking and acting 'in english', Ava is the soul of the film and his death scene, far form idiot Heston, with Pual Lukas courting her, is pretty

Sahara (1943) review

Zoltan is the Korda of action (Alexander is a bit pompous), good vibrations, rythm, drama is exasperating, quick and vivid portraits of each one in the group...

Wild Reeds review

Dr. Jekyll & Sister Hyde review

Gothic Hammer, with sexy disturbing Bates/Beswick, indiferent gore scenes, ans cinicism all over the proceedings...

The Two Mrs. Carrolls review

Lousy end, full of idiot plots by Stanwyck and unconvincing mad Bogart. Godfrey tries lightly to conceive a noirish style...

Rear Window (1954) review

Yeah, masterpiece, prima summa teologica di Hitch, before Vertigo wich is another one. Here death is something decorative in the set, but the playing woth stories and the powerful ppepint tom voyeruism sex and illness, impossible love, etcetera....

Baumbach knows that the recichess is in some details as Jean running, or Dustin's jacket or Eliza videos..... and even has its corny moments...

Galveston review

The coughing not dying cop sacrificed for a tragic woman and a pretty girl (predictable they were mother and daughter), puts some melodrama in a policial "True crime" story...

Il traditore review

Could be a good 80s film, but its a new good one, with that big 3 ring circus set in wich Buscetta sings to the jailed gangsters, and, oh this is better, a comment on maffia moral code when put to stress and shows its cinicism and hipocresy
