Kansas City Confidential (1952) review

Plot, direction, even acting by John Payne, are tight and right. The mask idea the reunits Preston Foster, Neville Brand, Lee Van Cleef and jack Elam in a mexican hotel, waiting to the loot, great...

A Guy Named Joe (1943) review

Fleming, Tracy and Dunne, and Ward Bond and james Gleason (one of his best parts), and even Lionel Barrymore as god, makes anything believable. Even Dunne seduced by young Van Johnson...

Command Decision review

With such a cast handled good by Wood, does'nt matter how stagey could be. Pidgeon is great explaining why he has to allow Gable to sacrifice pilots, Donlevy is also great trying to make a decision, even Hodiak is ok

Fearless Fagan review

Charming Caleton Carpenter makes believable his friendship with the lion. Nice contrast with cinic Janet Leigh, in a way she is the male here.

Love Is Better Than Ever review

Delicate romantic comedy, Liz seducing arrogant charming Larry Parks, embracing him in a plot with complicity of her parents; in contrart with New Haven children dance professor...

Criminal Court review

Little fireworks in a court, with tongue in cheek Conway and a weak plot of lawyer mixed up with gangsters and her fiancee, bah

September Affair review

Great love affair, by a cosmopolitan Dieterle. Jona is great, delicate; Cotten is cool. Locations are elocuente, Npales, Capri and Florence, there's a 'Viaggio a Italia' qulity now and then; and Francoise Rosay is always a good support

They Won't Forget review

(oK) Here's everything that is in "Ace in the hole" or another prejudice big media americana, with great mob lynching finale and epilogue recited by Gloria Dickson. Oh Lana's sweater...

A Woman's Secret review

(OK) This and "Born to be bad" are professional, unattractive plots for Ray, but how he learns form acting here. Grahame is so wonderful now I understand why he married her.

Born to Be Bad review

(OK) Unnatractive plot, bur Ray makes Fontaine more than credible; and proyects on Ryan and Ferrer, one passionate, one cinic, loving/hating Fontaine. Too much hot kisses, too many dialogue...
