Caine is ok in this light thriller on ominous subject (nazi lagacy) in wich Frankenheimer is really down.

Good stories but the compete against each other fot attention. I prefer the hideous mother killed by his son, ant the dual choral (because there are many storiies and characters and because there´s a group of marginals trying to have a parade).

Impossible not to make somethinf out of this story. Don't like the narration, recalled from a present wich is not a special one. Volonte is ok, the parents don't act like tne 'contadini' they are.

Well paced comedy, so light even in its provocative striptease background. But more determinant is the small town (Vichy) background, and the Gelin's stereotypical seductive guy.

Long, dry, too selfconscious and talky in Milloud character always making speeches on the cemetery, characters bound for sacrifice and heroism; but impressive production for a poor cinema standard,

Minor Goulding but somehow, thanks to Riskin small talk on democracy and free extravagant little john does as Gwenn here, has its charm. A rare sequence with McGuiere, Lancaster and Millard Mitchell, through a window shop.

Bert Pardway, one of the Barrymore´s sons (played by George Meeker) is subtlety despised by his dad because, instead of being manager of the Bazaar, he prefers to do the 'window trimming'. ¡An early 1933 precode suggestion that a man who likes interior decoration is gay! Al least, that theme wouldn't even be suggested some years later.

Good director, good storyteller, great dialogues by author Lester Cohen and Lionel seraching his new talkie screen persona. I love Eric Linden's character, and 'old boy' Gregory Ratoff is always moving.

De Santis at his most underlined, hiper dramatic, leftist approach. ?Riso amaro' is much better and eben sexier (well Lucia Bose is nice when she laying with and lying to handsome Raf).

Small Rossellini, a comic light but holistic (small village with poor and rich, bad and evil, religion and some paganism in the americans) ambition. The non actor are really non actors.
