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.

Borzage at its best with those sublimation of eroticism close ups, an inteligen argument (he tells his wife that he has to fake he could marry the boss's daughter, her mother runs a dobious business), and a sublimation of communist subversion too.

Some long routines on the simple basis of Harold in boxing business (with glasses), but some splendid gags when he poses as famous and thrills and shines ans throw his hat as a boomerang.

Lo mejor de Jodorowsky. Cronológica, maravillada sin excederse en detalles pues todos fluyen de lo más bien en el absorvente paisaje de Tocopilla. Ni se siente lo episódico. Me encanta el detalle de la esposa cantando todos sus parlamentos. La vuelta a la semilla de Jodorowski.

The sequence shot in the highway is worth the picture. Besides it, I like the humour in the route, Darc and Yanne over each other, hitchhiking, witnessing a 'lutte de classes' discussion.

Jerry at his best as gag, visual, dancing,clowning psicocomedian. In the commentary, he recalls the film as if Tashlin didn't exist.But there he is, giving the film its elegant, wonderful frames.
