Compared with Hollywood's "Trumbo", this Hollywood spook mocks and hommages both rthe conservative and the blacklisted. The ingenue Clooney mistaking singing cowboy Hobbie Doyle for a commie, is excellent.

Polanksi at its best, bloody, provocative, la mise en scene of great phrases (love the withces 'something wicked this way comes'), Macbeth surviving lady Macbeth madness revitalizes him.

Gets better till the end, mostly when Debra appears and establishes a sex duel with Peters over Jourdan. Before that, a regular pirate movie.

Great 'polar'. Its charm its not in the noir intirgue, which is ok (a plane forced to land in a joghway); but in human talk and drama. The boy seeing Delon and Demich in the beach, wich makes the pre climax; Lino ventura quitting his resistance to smoke; Gabin and Nazzarin buying presents to their grandchildren

Gordon Douglas, and Errol and Ruth deserved better than this. In despite of 2 or 3 noir scenes with Burr, the screenplay has a pitiful religious ending and the death of a expendable philipine boy.

Risi becomes delicate and classy after too many popular comedies. Baldwin is tasteless actor, but Demongeot is ok as cute and lovably bitch.

Gets better till the end. Simon's (Jack Palance) flight y the maddening climax of fiath ans lust for power. The abstract decors also gets better in Rome and in Simon´s tower. Mayo and Pier Angeli ok. Newman is still waiting for another vehicle.

Intense, circular, installed in a 'limbo', at the doors of inferno, with a son or a pretended symbolical son dead but not execrated by nazi autopsia; an uncertain deathline of execution, an incredible job cleaning corpses in Aushwitz; and just a glimpse of heaven in a living boy's face. The smile in the face of Saul is the requime for all this.

Risky, radical approach to violent for good and for evil in Michoacan. It lacks antropological explanations to calm opur anguish, but that's not the point for Heineman: he is always with his character Doctor Mireles, in his heorism and his fall, even when he flirts with the girl.

Sincere, equilibrium between 'yonki depressive star', good ol fame and the political dogmatic phase. The daughter is one of the producers and guarantees control.
