I like it as a 3 star, but in respect to history and autenticity In can´t rate it more. Everybody speaks the same english,act jelaous and romantically. If it weren´t for the gag of Gurie learning to kiss, and the discovery of pasta and powder, there wouldn't be the clash of worlds.

Un weekend, un enquete pour sa vie, mais tous est relatif. I love the most ambiguous, open and relatif sequences, as Marion smiling while listening a depressive song, or satisfied with her defeat.

Jerry is excellent, and is great making the girls dance at his zanny rythm. Martin has few things to do. You can understand why they split some films later.

Elegant, well paced, almost a pre Val Lewton RKO based production. I don't like Leslie Banks too much, but grat character the evil hunter. A bit too 'talkie' but it has a good end.

Too aged. Its false modernism rests in its real time narration, but it is destroyed but too long pone conversations, !treated as flashbacks with their own pace!

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.
