A modern picaresque, with a lighthearted but sometimes passionate womanizer. He is a looser but so moving when he wins... I love the fury of his friend when realizes Marcello has taken Laura del Sol.

I like flamboyant, heroic, adventurer Bogarde disguised as greek. Powell and Pressburger find the 'normality' in telling the war. Even the germans are ordinary fellows.

It takes time to begin with the hunt, and its annoying the boy's confusion on who is being hunted (if him or Muni); but Losey and Alekan are happy with the locations.

A minor Borzage, but you can find his romantic melodramatic force in Britton's close ups. If plot weren't so contrived and antigermanic...

Forced filmic essay of subtle, almots casual Hudson´s homoerotization in movies before he was known as gay.

Good, complete documentary, with almost all the angles (it lacks the killer's voice), all the elements to calibrate the risk of having a nazi homophobic liberated in 20 years (wonderful ironic photos of his graduation inside prison), even with a conversation post facts between the juries.

After so many enlightening, direct to the heart and the conscious, moving, tongue in cheek Morettis, this is so pale, so unstructurated. Its a relief when the group aplaud the depressing one

I love Sheridan (she has good close ups here)and I like Vincent Sherman, but the incredible plot ( a doctor takes the identity of a death patient) reaches the absurd without describing the anguish and degradation of Kent Smith (untalented actor), that could've made everything tolerable.

Great story, a gang of girls with polítical and existential motifs,told as a modern american crime saga, well written; but Cantet was not the right director for this. He is uninspired, even in the violent scenes.

It has its moments, specially the weird and sexy musical when Hudson loses the blade. Laurie clowns too much and Evans plays his brute with conviction.
