Once a Thief (1965) review

Nice cast, strong relation between excelllent Heflin and Delon, Margret is really ok (lost minded in the asphalt waiting for a phone call), Palance overacting as always.

Poppies Are Also Flowers review

Besides the joyous play of identifying stars; poor spy plot with enough killings to justify the progressive reduction of the cast. Rita's character is pathetic as I suppose she was then.

The Angel Wore Red (1960) review

Heavy and solemn stuff civil war is in filosophical cinic Cotten's voice in off; but romance between Gardner and Bograde has some 'fou' quality.

Taras Bulba review

Trepidant, never loosens action, with romance fou and 'bromance' (passionate touches between father and sons Bulba), drinking as a cossack mood, superficial but ¡what a rithm!

Ashanti review

Lousy all star movie. Great Holden (he has a nice death in the helicopter), tongue in cheek Harrison, Ustinov having fun

Attila review

I like it. Good characters (moving honest Bleda/Ettore Mani; intriguing Loren; patetic coward Valentiniano/Laydu; elocuent passionate extreme Attila) anf good schematic scenes (Attila condemned by the agonizing bishop).

Pontius Pilate review

The Jesus story, recalled in the last part, ruins the Pilate story. Marais is ok, noble man affronting a dilema. Crain is as ornamental as Leticia Roman. The epic ir irregular, with a big battle witout historical importance.

Navajo Joe review

Big scope, tight acrobacies by indianlike Burt; but some gratuitous superficial violence. Corbucci is always ok preparing action.

Zulu Dawn review

A surprise. Modest in its blockbuster epic dimension. Good cast, a decadent view of an announced colonial defeat, a sensation os rareness more than fear to the herds of zulus. Small vivid characters as Hoskins and his son Daniels, the man that doesn't like to dliver the bullets while the army is dying. Interesting duel of styles of acting betwenn O'Toole and Lancaster

The Big Knife review

It has so much conviction put in demonstrate its antihollywood thesis, that has an ugly charm. I like Aldrich´s rudeness. Palance and Steiger, one brute one brute and refined, are perfect matches for this torrid acting. Lupino, Hagen (the best), and winters ok.
