Takes time to spread interest, including Helen Morgan singing twice. A pitty that Gallian girl hadn't star power. Some idiot plot embarass proceedings. Warner woould've made it better.

Moving when you see Annabella insulted everywhere, more than when you see her struggling to go on with her daughter; as if she lacks the will and power you find in other melodramas with weak ladies...

Between sordid and refined, Gabin and Feiullere have the best Aurenche dialogues , but BB, of course, has the eyes of production and audience and the scandal of the 'secretaire' when appears nude...

Thriller with a harsh looking actor, don't know how corrupt how hero he is, because the arab egyptian political spring is spreading in the background...

Pretentious and corny in its romantization of german anarchism, with glamorous ex activists twice bombing Berlin...

Pretentious in its wide historic anarchist twice bombing romantic effect. Besides that and its glamorous anarchist cast, not much else...

All the latin Hollywood clises, all the charm of them all, Turner ohk as the independent rich womna who lacks love, Montalban reivindciates at the end...

Salvo cierto problema de volumen, buena visión en Netflix. No caeré en la trampa de qué tanto sigue la tradición, pues toda gran película con visión de sociedad e historia cae o se nutre de eso. Lo que no veo, por obvias razones, en esa tradición, es la posibilidad de tomar con la perspectiva de hoy el punto de vista, sin forzarlo ni declamarlo, de la empleada, como parte de una comunidad de afectos y disrupciones, de la que también participa la madre de familia. Roma tiene su ángulo para cada uno, y yo escojo esa confluencia, en el plano conjunto emotivo y climático en la playa (recogido en el afiche), de la historia de Cleo y el aborto no deseado del embarazo tampoco deseado, con esa mujer que anuncia que empezará a trabajar por independencia y necesidad. En ese México postletalolco se incuban los sentimientos y posibilidades de contar ese historia, no en el melodrama ni en el Indio Fernández, como he oído por ahí...

Nouvelle vague out of place, in comunism, in the spirit of a relatively young mother refusisn to understand why her son wants to abandon her...When she writes a letter for an old father, you understand everything

So Hollywood on England, war efforto and drama ai its best. The disparition of Redgrave early in the plot is effective, because Mills and Rosamund (wonderful as bride with the noise of planes over her face) act their sadness superbly.
