So rare and subversive film for kids. Liz, the older, tells Hoang, the refugée, that he is gonna marry his mother and kiss her as in TV, !and it sounds so naif! Good ol Micky Rooney is dignified with his locomotive.

Simple, effective, it goes ok till the confusing and mathematic middle, but ends in a good stroll of Em gazing through windows to her other realities.

How strong and determined to say something was Warner and Le Roy's films in the aerly 30s. One of the most direct indictments against press,even is too obvious in some texts. Nice touch Aline MacMahon in love witg Robinson, and pervert Karloff posing as priest.

Amused by some modern quotations to Sacco and Vanzetti, communism, anarchism and liberalism/humanism against and above all, plus screwball psico geender stuff. Everything so slight. Nice cast, Eugene Palette great. He uses the word 'wishywashy'.

Todos los probelmas de adaptar una novela de prestigio, con demasiado juego de tiempo. No te fijas en una historia, va y viene a personajes en distintas fases, se pierde (porque es muy corta) la reflexión que se hace de Java (Sanz) desde el presente.

Strong character Ryan, explaining his greed to everybody. He is worth the film. Boetticher is just learning how to seize the west, qith some good shots (the gang at night, the pastures, the welcoming of the boys).

Such passion and such force, but so engagé to the system as the autodestructive ideology of Maria, who kills her zarist love. THe sequences in the desert are outstanding.

I like somo Agostino's texts and the cotidianeity of some details (the gay barbershop in Ippona with the trans speaking of l'amore greco).

A vehicle for BB and annie disguised as nuns, whores and nurses, light and quick, not enlough elegant to be a good comedy.

Optimization of typecasting: Carol Burnett as vulgar but strong hearted whore Molly Malloy, Matthau as grumpy cinic editor, Lemmon as less cinic but poignant and talented journalist), with addition of gay David Wayne (he is great). So quick that you forget the theatrical basis and one principal set.
