Good work of Keighley and Dieterle, ando of all WB artisans and technicians, great decors, sharp dialogue of Montagu Love perhaps in his best rol as Henry VIII, and Rains. Its a pitty that the efforts to force Flynn in the plot and make a familiar film, washes all.

I saw it because I just wanted to know something about Bettie Page. I was unsatisfied because the story is distracted with the vintage look, the debate around pornography, and losts Bettie's character

Best of Hollywood and Italy, with a efectist and trite war plot. Ritt is powerful in spite of the circumstances, and allowed to be sexier than in USA, in the scene with the 5 girls in the pond.Each love affair is too much radical sacrifice (Moreau kiling Basehart, Guardino ann Miles executed, Mangano waiting death with Heflin)

Bigas Luna visita el jet set histórico congregado alrededor de las majas. La duquesa Aitana domina a pérdida, porque la reina Sandrelli define su destino, Goya sigue pintando y Godoy conspirando, todo decantado en una cena y un misterio barato. No se porque, tal vez por agilidad y la piconería que parece auténtica de Penélope, le pongo un 3

All the neorrealist comedy world, with small apartment with view to the trains, a scene in wich poor girl Sylva is embarassed with the visit of boss Ettore Manni and little brother is defecating, etc. but screenplay suffers from some indefinition, Sordi is and is not Sylva boyfriend, she is and is not a 'ladra'...

The best Schrader in years. Tight, fluent, well located in LA, the city without center. Movies are dead, as the cinemas in ruins showed in stills, sex is the only survivor, mixed with sadism. Best actor: James Deen.

Outstanding film among the ruins of Berlin. While Rosselini was placing neorrealism flag in pstwar Germany, Staudte was continuing the dramatic tradition. The sadness and drunken sarcasm of dr. Mertens allows him to see the moral perversion of the killers. Knef is an ingenue.

Simple, with some erotic elegance,thanks to Steele. The harsh and sober Robert Flemyng keeps the secrets of the plot.

L'art et l'amour de racconter histoires. Resnais stops,run, turn, when he wants just to make sure we are enjoying the story as he is. Here is more sentimental than in other films, Dussolier is really a nice brute depicted with indulgence and Azema with every kind of simpathy. Don't like the open fatal ending.

Long, sometimes tongue in cheek, sometimes heavy on the conflicts, choral film of a taiwanese high class family. Yang attacks the subplots with more thna one style, notably the paralell of love affairs.
