Vidor likes to film in nice swiss locations and helping Liz coming to age. But can't convince of passion between Liz and Gassman and father Calhern swallowing it.

The closest to a good british western, with a bigger than life evil character kind of redeemed in her love to Mason. Great Lockwood and big silly Rennie falling for her.

Nice Nelson in its honest limits. Good ol' Glenn in a moral friendly quest on Rod Taylor, guiden by Nancy Kwan.

Don't ask more from Tornatore. Love story with an unnatural clinch that is not mere romanticism. Irons is above age and limits, is always convincing. Kurylenko´s job is Tornatore's look at hOllywood. Borgo Ventoso (in a lake near Milano) is apalling.

Light Becker, but has is charm in Vernon's determination of being selflessly independent, in Gelin's romantic rudeness, in Servais bisexual savoir faire.

Masterpiece. When movies were so pure in dual emotions and in one of its pioneers reflections. Yes, it is square and silly when Peggy becomes Patricia Pepoire; but how energy, behind the scenes charm (the comic parade that intrudes in the drama is great)...

Still rediscovering Gordon Douglas an how he captured as an old man and in mainstream films, 60s spirit. Sinatra ok as always and charming Jill St. John helping him to be a rude sharp funny sex interruptus good guy.

Eleanor at her beautiest. Flynn a fine comedy actor impersonating Bogart in a scene. Well paced, but too foolish and naif most of the time.

Great Frankenheimer. Melodrama with a mood, a strange topic (¡parachutes for fun!), a big irony: the spectacular foreigners doesn't change the smalltowners lives, it is the other way. The middle of the film, the tense sexy night, !is so well narrated and edited!. Ant the better symbolic ejaculation in movies: the long, huge spermic withe parachute splashed by Lancaster in front of the thirsty hot ladies.

Another surprise from Duvivier. Fast paced, it creates its own mood in wich everything could ocuur in one day and one night. Miliza Korjus, ¿why you dissapeared from movies?
