Not as a Stranger review

To watch just for the cast, a washed melodrama, with some edge in the nonchalance of Gloria Grahame, and De Havilland's discoviering she is a romatic idiot. Mitchum too stony to such a delicate character, but ¡what a star he is!

My Foolish Heart review

Forget it is based in a Salinger story. Robson is OK handling love encounters and disencounters between cool Dana Andrews and OK Susan Hayward. Robert Keith is a good support. Dialogues OK.

One Way Passage review

I loved it before watching it, and havent´t being deceived. Simetric in pain, love and gender (each one will die, each one hides the truth, each one takes the initiative), romantic and agonic but not sublime. McHigh and MacMahon takes care of its modernity. Garnett is not Borzage and thats ok.

Nymphomaniac: Vol. II review

Same as I, but less humour and more pervertion -and a noirish segment- going to a sensationalist and contradictory ending.

Nymphomaniac: Vol. I review

To take with humour, otherwise would be indigest. For moments, I prefer the austere present tense, with shy Skarsgard, than the dynamic past.

Le due vite di Mattia Pascal review

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.

Ill Met by Moonlight review

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.

Stranger on the Prowl review

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.

Till We Meet Again review

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

Rock Hudson's Home Movies review

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