As an anticipated telefilm, too focused in a lcinical case, didactic on the education of deaf children, with some corny twirls, but a nice balance. Goold noble Hawkins, in silent love with proto feminist Phyllis Calvert.

I love Gloria, specially singing dubbed in close up with her long hair. Subtle plot on unneccesary sincerity, but not an essay on morality and lies.

Cold, somehow sloe, realistic, refined dialogue by Attenborough, an ellegant exploration on cruelty and pervertion for a sick man in an oppresive context (you almost share his superiority on his wife, great passive character).

Effective love story combined with selfhelp plot of Garner making alzheimer(amnesia for old ladies in melodrama)patient Rowlands, remember their own love story by telling it as a novel. Too manipulative, corny some moments, aggresive in osme other moments...

Ahead of its time; everybody is crooked here but love makes Clark chose Eleanor. Big momentos of Raoul mise en scene, populating the frame with the five (including mama Jo Van Fleet) girls around Clark.

I understand why Austin Powers loves and imitates this. Flint/Cobunr is sexy, free inspired, egotistical, still a macho in a world populated by scheming beautiful girls. Great Jerry Goldsmith score.

Slow pace and too long routines for moments, but it has other great 'reduction to absurd', naif provocative gags (insinuations of a erotic symbolic world for children with geishas). Literal japanese abstraction, with paternal feelings.

License to straight fantasy, in contrast to first part in Edimburgh. It lacks of tthe rythm and energy of the classic adventure, but the set design, the FX and acting by Mason, pretty Dahl, are worth the film.

In spite of some terrible 'deep and solemm' close ups confronting the atomic apocalypse, Kramer never loses control. I like everything about Ava, the romantic getaway to the trout season, the scenes in the submarine outside San Francisco.

Gable smashes Lancaster, his scenes alone are the best. He is always, in charácter and natural acting, one step before Burt.Dont' like too much the macho idea of glory, but dialogues are ok.
