Excellent analysis. Great examination of symbolism. I too understood the reference Lazarus who returns from the deas also the reference to the wolf and Rome. It's a great movie on many levels.

Horrific review. One has to know the times and era.

Great relationship drama. Nice that there is one review of it on KZbin. Even if the review is mostly a girl sleeping in front of the camera.

I have this film. I first saw it in the late 90's.

Согласна. Совершенно не интересный, как и два предыдущих эротичнских фильма Анны Марии Тато.

I enjoyed your review of "Mystery of the Wax Museum", and I love your enthusiasm for Pre-Code and Classic Hollywood films. -- You should DEFINITELY pick up the recently restored Blu-ray of this film, which was released in 2020. It looks and sounds SO MUCH BETTER than all previous editions, and I'm certain that your enjoyment would be greatly enhanced.

I'm glad you liked this movie. I LOVED it despite its flaws. Very interesting, and very original. Definitely check out the Tuesday Weld version. It's really good to.

Saw this once on broadcast tv and never forgot it. Spent years looking for it until looked up the vichyssoise scene and found the nyt review online. Somehow had the idea that it was a gritty 70s tv afternoon special.

Great movie

I thought it was hilarious. Lots of subtle humour. Kristin W is really good. Great comedy.

It's really hokey IMHO. I just saw the original teleplay, and that was MUCH better. (It's on KZbin!)

Are you going to comment on Samuel Fuller? Movies

Compare this movie to the Nick Ray movie on dangerous Ground. You’ll find a lot of similarities.

Want to know what you

I know what you think of my comments here

Also, reminds me of a movie called the furies with Barbara Stanwyck, as the offspring and Walter Houston as the father. This movie was made by Anthony mann

The Halliday brand is a lot like a king Vidor movie called duel in the Sun. You can compare ward bond with the landowner in duel in the sun. He hates the girl that he’s been compelled to adopt because she’s Spanish

Joseph H Lewis - - my favorite movies are the big combo, Guncrazy, and my name is Julia Ross

So the over weight darkskin girl got the guy. The lightskin mixed girl got bullied? Laughable. Who wrote this 😂😂😂😂

So glad I came across this.

Again I've watched a movie that has been reviewed by this chick. You have good taste. That was a fun movie.

Such a good movie. There was an American censorship board that did not allow criticism of the occupation in movies at the time. In reference to 3:15.

I would like to watch Dark Waters movie if I can find it. I cant find where you made many videos lately. Thanks for the good video.

Lol..... Here me after 7 years...❤

Could anyone anyone load this on KZbin????

Again I've watched a movie that you have reviewed.

Check out " Nichola"s " short film " The Passing " A " Beautiful " piece of work

Do u hv letterboxed?

Again, I've managed to watch a movie, which has only one review on youtube and that's by this chick. Good movie, decent review.

I agree. Blackout is a good movie.

this movie is pretty excellent except it's got about 10 minutes of fat to be trimmed in all the circus misadventure and lion on the ledge stuff, just goes on way too long in 2nd half ... trim it from 90 to 80 minutes and it would stand-up fairly well right next to sturges' more famous movies

Thank you for this commentary.

I love this movie, too. But you said it ended Karloff and Lugosi's careers? No, not at all. It made the studios more cautious perhaps. Universal didn't hesitate to pair Karloff and Lugosi again in The Invisible Ray, although it was more science fiction than horror. But Son of Frankenstein happened in 1939 with the duo once again together. Bela's Ygor, in fact, is one of his best roles. Boris only agreed to do the film if the Monster did not speak. Both of their careers did go on long after The Raven. Unfortunately Bela was treated badly by Hollywood and didn't get the same opportunities. Anyway, thanks for sharing your thoughts.

Je suis très impressionné que vous ayez fait ce film. Il y a quelques années, j'ai vu un documentaire sur Alice Guy-Blaché; cela m'avait bien touché et j'en avais parlé à plusieurs personnes. C'est probablement votre documentaire que j'avais vu.

Like your reviews. Have you stopped doing them?

Your channel is same as mine

One of my favorite films

Mizoguchi is the greatest! Him and Murnau, my fave directors ever 🥳

This was a great film. Wish someone would put it on KZbin.

👌🏻🖤👌🏻

Sadly you happen to know very little about the "behind the scenes" of the "Scientific cardplayer"- Joseph Cotten and Bette Davis knew perfectly that they were going to work for an italian production. Joseph was a dear friend of the director Comencini and loved his works, while Bette was introduced to this project with the help of her dear friend Anna Magnani, another big italian actress who also won an academy award in the 50es. It was not a matter of money, bette in particular was very happy to be given a scripts that she could only dream in the United States where her career was over. Alberto Sordi used to respect Bette a lot, though his way of working enraged her. She did not accept that Alberto changed the lines while acting on stage and the fact that he didn't feel at ease speaking in english, enraged her even more to the point that she renamed him "Alberto Sordid". I wouldn't call this film weird. Italian cinema of those days was often cynical full of sarcasm, rage and feelings of revenge and emancipation. It is a bit shallow to say that this specific portrait is about italy as if the dichotomy richness & poorness was not a global issue yesterday like today. Italian simply conceived cinema like a work of art, not different from books and theatre performances. You can watch Alberto and silvana Mangano work together in the italian masterpiece "A Difficult Life (Una vita difficile)" by the director Dino Risi (1961). This was a real masterpiece that is still powerful. PS: the italian comedy of the 60 and 70es is very well known by the great american directors of that era. Still recently, George Clooney produced a film "Intolerable cruelty" that was a tribute to the italian cinema of the 60es and he played a role that imitated a lot Alberto Sordi and his style. And George knows very well the massive filmography of Alberto.

Cinematography by John L. Russell of "Psycho" fame!! He also did wonderful work in Frank Borzage's unusual and wonderful film "Moonrise" (1948).

Keisuke Kinoshita is my favorite Japanese director! And Hideko Takamine is my favorite actress. Very nice to see them being appreciated!

What are the titles of the films you are describing that stars actor Franchot Tone?

The n azis didnt flee from their allies in Italy. They invaded Albania in 1943 after Italy lost the war in Albania. Germans took over in Albania when Italians left

Belated thanks.

Dickie from Little Rascals is in it as the janitor's disabled son too.

A friend found Miracle Mile on VHS in a bargin bin of a garage (gas station) in the UK (Mid 90s). We were at film school and none of us had ever heard of the film, it became one of my favourites. I Also love any film with Tangerine Dream sound track, it contributes a lot more to the feeling than typical scores.

Didn't like Sons of the Desert? OMG! Tisk, tisk! It's a classic! Have you seen Blockheads? Another L&H classic!
