The tongue in cheek, dramatic, USA center of the universe, epic of the 30s, located in ancient wars. It wouldn't be the same after the great war. Lovable support characters (Bro Crawford and his orchids, the boy and his anti anting amulet), Andrea Leeds an excellent alternative to De Havilland.

The patriotic effort by Powell and Pressburger. They needed a non attacked country, as Canada, to pose dramatically the question of what makes yoy nazi and what makes you good. Thats the sense of the sequence in tne Indian day in wich people points a nazi; the disucussion about art with Howard (the boxing revenge is silly but tolerable), the speech pf hatterite Walbrook.

In spite of the unbearable dialogues of 'she thinks she knew too much' Ginger; nice suspense, believable twist of Keith. Robinson just stays cool in each scene.

One of the best Reed's. Great exploit of location, you can feel -because the monologues say so and the direction too- the greed of white man exploiting savages, the eroticism of people and landscape, the morbid thoughts, the last minute dignity. Great film.

I like the premise:the woman comes with the apartment and men of short life expectative, have the key. Some philosophical and melodramatic idea is caught in some scenes (the jackets, the photos, the nights before the weddings. Reed, this time, is not in the level of the film.

A little turistic (Marrakesh, you know), a little affected by autodestructive postures; but, for some moments, thanks to Marcello,yoy can feel the passion between Eleonora and Marcello.

The original, "I wake up screaming", is incredibly good, and this is just OK, Boone is obsessive but far enough sick and psycho, the film lacks noirish and anguish.

Confusing plot, too much time with a basement gang; but nice characters in the fog, undistinguished cast (priest Naismith is the better), idiot plots before the climaxes

A deception. Smight was practicing to do TVfilms. Steiger is so idiotic, being a serial killer, that I couldn´t stand obviousness of his clues

Not too stagey, not too dinamic, Booth makes her tourd d'effort while Lancaster is constrained
