Noel Coward's patriotic service, high standard, not one yellow fellow but Attenborough who is redeemed by death. Perfect exercise for Lean. Nice lines, best of all, Celia Johnson about ship before woman and family. Nice touches on low and middle classes homes.

Gets better with the 'coup d'art' in the Museum. Otoole and Hepburn are big glamour and comedy stasr when such a thing was fading. Nice gag the atatue replaced by a bottle of wine.

So much talk, and essays, and theory about this films, that one almost misses its human but tolerable sadness, its frivoluos touches, its turistic relax, its sexy humour (Sanders not sleeping with the prostitute and with handicapped Maria Mauban), its happy ending.

As enchanting and rich in details and 'humanly nechanic' as one of those playful clocks in Eastern Europe churches. ¡What a cast! Each actor enjoys his lines.

Nazisexploitation at its best, with thriller rythm and plot, 'cabaret' appearance, good cast (Thulin and Berger, the visconti 'dammed' pair).

Almost Copolla´s "Last picture show", but here there´s more nostalgia than agony or decadence, and some incredible, almost corny twists (the heroism of Maccio, Dillon and Howell). In spite of some repetitions(the brothers embracing too many times), I like the strong relation between all the boys.

Lovable unprejudiced Spaak, tied with looser Manfredi, impossible priest Vanni de Maigret, awakening sex instincts in Salvo Randone. A little confusing the 3 time structure, but OK Petrangeli.

(In Criterion pack with "The Freshman")A bit whimsical plot, but stunning sequence with the 'walking sleeping' Mildred in the heights.

Good parody of the west, with all that shooting and macho parafernalia. (In "The freshman" Criterion pack)
