Too heavy on the romance, and the evil innocent woman, but well paced, dramatic close ups and movements of main characters

Greta Ozep, intense underlined by gypsy music when Dimitri lost everything to Anna Sten. The borderline evil character is wonderful...

Always around the character, caring not to break him, but to stand to the film, wich includes, his firt break when began to climb. Nobody explains him just follow and respects him

La directora se toma su tiempo, con buena progresión, para meterse en las chicas, muy complmentarias, una mas confundida que la otra, una más sincera que la otra...

Stron character rescued in the wilderness, thats ok; but takes too long, inside the house hiding and avoiding the wilderness...

Fine long piece of what Hollywood and all its constraints could made in 1956 with a not amazing material: an ordinary man facing quietly extraordinary problems as an abandoned child in Italy and an almost lost legacy...

Naruse is somehow between Ozu and any other greta japanese. Love the challenge of putting in every woman's foot, even the sympathy goes for the non wife. The choir of characters that forces her is well handled

Nice play, nice cast, nice Beaumont directing; tender touches mainly not in the Harding-Loy meeting, but in Brady's celebrating Loy is as fool as she and that's why they're friends.

Good swedish modern love affair romantized with music topics (he is a well known violinist); but pointing to emancipation of Ingrid at the end. Nice passion two shots and dialogues.

Hard and direct director Harlan when he has to. And a bit of rural urban inspired poetry when charming Soderbaum plays with the river on her feet, knowing the water goes to golden Prague.
