It has a corny edge in the depiction of sad blonde Kruger; but the insinuation of paedophilia, and the different reactions of everybodu regarding Kruger is ok.

Good resume of creative achievements of some of Kazan's best films, notably "East of Eden", "On the waterfront", "America, America", in a personal Scorseses' explanation.

Fassbinder wanted disgusting characters, OK; but ¿why make a disgusting film full of noise, whims, confusión? His statement on terrorism as an invention payed by frivolous tycoon Eddie Constantine, is comic.

Heroic Cagney in a non nonsense story wherr Conte knows Cagney is gonna duel with him in the end, and everybody knows that Cagney will talk if there's no bombing on Gestapo building in 13 rue Madeleine.

Elocuent statements on liberty and tolerance within an intense sublime Borzage romance. A pity it doesn't have the violence and real crudeness of those times and places, but it has books in fire.

So great in argument (1950's noir is gold), in acting (Cagney is as good as in "White heat", this in fact is also white heat coloure; Payton is excellent in her transformation); you feel the pólice corruption in Bond's character...

You feel the nostalgia of not so lost times; the manly characters, love tirumphs over false friendship. Rita is wonderful, form enchanting to bitchy but finally on the level with Biff (Cagney) and Amy (Olivia). Music is part of action in a non musical, just wlashian way. Hale at its funniest.

Men's work mathces perfectly with. Each character is swell, even Marlene (never so simple and natural), and friendship is a important as love. The group of friends is haeksina. Alan Hale resumes Walsh spirit.

Disney was capable of too many cinematic adventures, but this one,matching with Dali was so bizarre and in a way so reasonably arty, that its rare that was cancelled and had to wait posterity to be finished.

The flamingo-Saint Saens episode is wonderful, playful, comic, superb.The whlaes stuff is too solemn, the Rhapsody in blue is too argumentative.
