The powerfull star cast (Stewarts makes Tracy look more serious than he probably wanted to be), Valentina lacks glamour some other star could provide, Greenstreet is the best...

For those who have a weakness for Verneuil: here he takes long shots to just depict bruglar technified stuff, a gratuitous car chase in Athens, a wasted love story between Belmondo and Calfan...

German 50s noir, crimes in the middle of war as the biggest crime. Siodmak tries this good theme/idea here, better if the serial killer is an arian madman, Mario Adorf, that provides al the prooofs (brigth sequence)...

Huis clos in big ships, good macho chasta, always work. Brando/Brynner nos as enemies but too different actors of war, Martin benrath is the real antagonist, interesting actor but lacks brightness to oppose Brando. The Janet Margolin subplot is wasted...

Great, abstraction and concretion on the sand. I love the training mannequins as an intro to the adventure in the other world, fatalist and stupid; everuthing goes as sand on the hand. There's even a madman, but the madness of war and machism (that's Jurgens thing, ¿isn't it?) exceeds him...

Disperse, a musical that breaks and loses the essential of most songs and moments (don't like Fletcher) and images; but somewhat descends and sticks to earth. when Elton dressed as Rocketman, goes to therapy.

De Palma, old artisan, nothing of his better times here, not even a kinf of Bernard Herrman soundtrack in the long ending. More drama (buddy of dying cop befriends his wife and lover) than antiterrorist stuff. Nice Almeria setting.

A bit pompous, idiot witty plot of a professor of literature no telling his wife and daughter he is dying with cancer, the gay thing is played in ridiculous way, mmmh. Friend Danny Huston saves half the film

Lo zombie usado como fondo de un teatro del absurdo romántico, la pareja triste(perdieron un hijo) que se da drogam se da su sangre y muere zombi encadenada. Dos o tres imágenes (ella tomando en copa la sangre de él), valen.

Diálogos rimbombantes, 'bajando líneas' como oí decir a Aristaraín alguna vez, pero los actores y motivos van con ellos. Borges es diva funcional, se excede menos que sus acompañantes.
