The Princess comes across

Carole lombard is a fake Swedish Princess, Fred McMurray a crooner with a shady past, there is a blackmailer who gets killed and a bunch of detective on a cruiseliner leaving Le Havre to New York. Pleasant enough.

Love before breakfast

More Carole Lombard romcom, with a rich man pursuing her despite her being in love with someone else. haapy ending, and a few pekinese dogs, art deco decor and smart gowns make it a success.

Hands across the table

Predictable but charming Paramount romcom, with Carole Lombard as the pretty manicure who wants to marry rich and does not care for love but who falls for fred McMurray, who plays a III, but also needs to marry rich. Happy ending.

Babel

Didn't get into into, Hollywood does Lelouche, over-dramatic and over-written.

We're not dressing

There are some funnt bits, with some good actors, such as Leon Errol, the uncle who likes his coktails, and a cute bear, but there are too many crappy songs with Bing Crosby, the sailor seducing Carole Lombard.

Border radio

A post punk, low budget, improv film which despite its short length drags on a bit. There are some interesting bit, culturally on the LA rock scene, and some nice scenery using the road between LA and Mexico.

Romanzo Criminale

An Italian film done like an American one, heavy influence from later period Scorcese, i.e. the not so good one. A real story seen from the bad guys point of view, through the 70's, the red brigades, etc. Not as good and fun as the original 70's Italian films.

Army of shadows

Restaured version, showing all the monochromatic style loved by Melville. There are some slow parts, but also some dramatically beautiful dark scenes revealing the spirit of the resistance, and the desperate attempts of men and women to fight against the Germans.

Gojira

The original cut of Godzilla, proof that fairly cheesy and basic special effects can produce a much more peotic film that any CGI can produce.

Phantom Lady

A good little film noir from Siodmack, fairly classic as it's about a wrongly accused man, but with his best friend as a twisted muder, and his secretray with beautiful eyes desperatly looking for the mysterios woman he spent the evening with.

Flowing

The first Naruse I didn't really manage to get into. it is very slow and not a great deal happens in the struggling geisha house.

Cobra woman

Siodmack goes all B movie serial, in glorious technicolor, cheesy acting and very basic plot, light hearted and fun entertainment. King Cobra!!!!!!
