Huston's western balad. Lily Langtry is poetry for Judge and we undesrstand it as we see Ava. The non extreme violent elegant mexican friendly Huston is at his best.

I like that it is not ambitious, Losey doesn't portray a definite Trotsky or Mercader, they're are impredictable, non conformist, a bit fatalist but unsure of what to do. Schneider is a poor passionate woman.

Goodbye Duvivier, it's a tongue in cheek misterious non ambitious sexy plot (Senta is sexiest than ever, Delon is cute and mature).

De Mille contributing a bit late to war effort. He identifies with a doctor maybe because he is difficult to identify with an obedient GI Joe. The exotism is kept as a non invasive background.

Kind of funny how easy is to put hard themes as segregation and terrorism, because they are in far Kenya and terrorist are blacks from mau mau. Poitier is really good crying in most of his scenes. Hudson is a non crying white.

Deke Rivers a good character for a just born star. A bit washed up drama, Kanter is a poor director (Lizabeth Scott doesn't know what to do, Wendell idem) that´s why is difficult to understand double entendre between all of them and their reactions

The best of the first Presley´s. Good idea to situate him in the birth of jazz New Orleans, working in Bourbon stree to make a living between hudlums, hustlers, an d a stubborn father (Jagger) who doesn't understand Tennessee Williams

As quick and charming as "Les tribulations d'un chinois...", Belmondo suffered macho against distracted irresponsible Dorleac, good 'bad men'.

Hubiera quedado en díptico, con "Ustedes los ricos". Pero los Rodríguez quisieron exprimir la saga, dejaron la mayor tragedia en off para justificar la muerte real de Blanca Estela Pavón y le dieron a Infante una cualidad fantástica sin tratarla como tal: todo le sale mal.

The film is as aged as Bette. Lacks rythm, action, passion. The crime and the motifs are so cold and unexplained, the second characters are so useless and wasted, Malden for instance.
