Melodrama with a lot of hits really interpreted (because is evident she doesn't sing)by Hayward. Thelma is overexposed by Lamar Trotti obvious sarcasm,but is excellent when confronting Hayward's depression. Susan is better when suffering. Robert Wagner is convincing

I'm kind of deaf to opera and to Kathryn Grayson in particular buy I admit I was moved by the ending with the 'Mimi' aria. The stage and the long shots are spectacular. Gordon Douglas is ok

The feeling, the comedy, the places, the pace, everything is so italian that I don't know why Christian Jaque directed this and not an italian. I like Fernandel, afraid of his italianization, unconsciously putting the fingers upside, italian style; and when he laughs for the first time before Toto, when is jailed with his former wife.

Bill Wellma, you´re one the greats. Splendid reconstruction and action full of details in the Alaska saloons,the stops around the fire, the explicit arttraction between Gable and Young. Not just dog Buck, everybody, clark, Young, Oakie and refined bad guy Owen, feels the call of the wild.

Solemn (Diana Wynward talks to the camera more than once), excesivie respectful with the aristocrats and monarchy (but Una O'Connor, husband Mundin and daughter Ursula Jeans have a special dignity), a long story not too episodic.

Cult movie and masterpiece and cultural hihglight of the 70s. De Palma was not afraid of being corny, distasteful or hiperbolic, because he tried to be always touching. Great visual imaginery, pre glam, glitter, rock.

I saw the play some years ago in spanish in Lima, and I find intact the universe, the dramatic structure, the distribution of crisis and tense speeches. Wells is very loyal to Letts ant Letts to his play. The Oklahoma plains are the bonus.

Hathaway arrives with pal Duke to fordian or hawksian domains. The charge of the heavy Duke against the band of Robert Duvall is pure anthology, even when Kim Darby names what we see: "that's true grit". A realist ans tender depiction of west. Love tha hanging scene near the beginning.

An 'important' film has to top in all his aspects. Sets,photo, production, music are ok. In the cast, even Mature is well (he has strong two shots with more contained but vibrant Burton) ¿Why Koster then? He is correct but lacks the personal touch of an author.

I see why martial arts are art. And that, more than plot and everythingg else, is the core of the film. Wong Kar Wai excells in the fights, in special the one int he trian statios while trians are departing. Stylized as it gets.
