Very amusind beginning of war thriller. Fred and Joan are a kind of Powell Myrna Loy Thin man couple in nazi Germany. Conrad Veidt is charming.

What else to say? To see and to confirm all about Hitch virtues and tics. Yes, Kim in molded into a nice Hitch woman. Two weeks ago I drove to SF and was difficult to catch the Vertigo sense I've catch before.

BB justified too many simple little films, this Boisrond doesn't decide to be a romantic comedy with dancing lessons background or an amusing thriller.

3 stars just because Aldrich amuses in some rare moments and Ursula is a astonishing as Anita is aleady a relaxed beauty. Aldrich tries to find an amusing tone and misses the point most of the time.

Reconciliated with Kubrick. Terror movies has evolved in such way that Shining looks ok for me. Isolation and fatalism, psycho and evil; the two forces combine well, here. Nicholson presneted at least half of his tics.

The character is better than the film, it looses too much inexplaining a lot of roundaabouts, instead of stretching the story and intensifying its best moments.

More than I expected. There's elegance, sense of decadence being constraint, romanticism build up with some subtlety in expense of the political background, perverse undertones (incestuous guilt between Ava and Sharif), and some fantasy in the ballet as seen by Deneuve and Sharif.

Corny to say the least. Chastain acts as shw wants to, adding a whimsical sexy/froid look that makes me laugh sometimes. A washed up great war drama with too shy animals.

I love this so much, this is Les enfants du paradis (Granger and parker are actors, remember) meets MGM's Hollywood, with a grand chorepgraphic finale. Yes, an unexpected masterpiece by George Sidney and by a big studio.

Modest charm, light french antirevolutionary story (noblemen and thier descendants as Curtis and Miller are heroes against polices that seems monarchic)...
