Reed in a pre 'Ealing mood'; wonderful sequences in the beach at nigth, with that sense of holiday community. The pair of friends, the pretty sad one and the ugly one, are the heart of the film. The dramatic plot of the suicidal widower is solemn, but once in the beach everything is enlightened

Unsimpatetic and a bit confusing script (you don't know if Barbra is hired by a crime sindicate to be a good or a bad gambling lady, and if she plays or works for her glory; you can´t understand the feeling between main characters) but such good pace and acting in Mayo's hands, are worth seeing.

I like this Antonioni or Fellini, of poor people The existentialist crisis of a simple labour man -excellent Randone- is episodic, non efectist but eficient and ironic in the sequence in wich Randone is befriended by an intellectual just to make him fix his WC.

Exposé of a big social problem -bachelor ignorant young mothers- with all the naiveté and exploitation feeling (there'a a colour and crude sequence of a 'cesaria')Hollywood could be.

A pretext to undress BB. in exotic Seville. I cant' stans BB dnacing flamenco, as poor Duvivier can'r stand the comparison with what Von Sternberg and Buñuel made with the same argument.At least, the decadence of Antonio Vilar is ok in the last segment. And Seville is wonderful.

Rare film,the semi rural Louisiana suburb atmosphere, the surroundings of Anna´s house, collides with the theatrical text. I like the result, mostly becuase of Anna, sexy, crazy, mystical in every frame. Lancaster is risible at her side.

I love the argument: the bad one is right, the good ones are imbeciles conspiring to make the real badmen win. I'd love to watch it with humans.

Stagey in spite of good Decae's photo and Stevens directorial touches, because its episodic with long dialogues; but ypu canfeel the desert peopled by machines and bets of Las Vegas, through Liz's window.

Nice, cute, funny little, NY, metalinguistic romantic comedy. It laughs at all the topics and cliches of its genre.

Inverosimile plot, 'dead' Perkins can't stay with Loren if the film doesn't bild up a psycho atmosphere. An Litvak doesn't. Loren is forced to some histrionic moments, but they´re not enough.
