Review :

Unique Stalinist Fantasy with heart and morale

Starik Khottabych is classic Soviet film, which screenplay is based on a bestseller, Lazar Lagin's book. The book was some kind of modern Harry Potter novels for soviet kids.Personally, I've read that book about 10 times when I was a kid.It's about a pioneer (communistic analogue of boyscout) who finds a genie bottle in 1930's.Boy calls the genie "starik Khottabych", it's hard to translate this name, because russian "starik" literally means "old man" in English but starik has another sense, while Khottabych is a usual for russians and ukrainians second name, which means "son of Khottab".Overally the boy thinks of genie as an old baby and tries to learn how to use genie's abilities to help his friends, his favourite soccer team and so on.Pioneer don't bothers about money, his main concern is how to make Khottabych a true communist. This film may be influenced by Comrade Stalin himself, but it doesn't mean nothing today.It's moral is looking naive for modern kids in ex-USSR, they prefer to watch meaningless Pokemon cartoons.Still, if you want to know something about such an unique thing as Soviet Fantasy, this movie is one of the few examples of it.

Review :

Vampire looking for payback

Vampire's Grave is the second of two films concerning the character that German Robles played in the first film. The film is from Mexico and apparently it has a certain cult status that has thoroughly escaped me.

This is the kind of film that Universal Pictures used to do so well and I suspect had it been done there where they mastered the art of Gothic horror, it would rate a lot better from me. German Robles is no Bela Lugosi, he's not Christopher Lee either.

This vampire is dead and buried in his grave with stake plunged through his heart when some scientist decides to steal the body for experimentation. Pull out the stake and you've got troubles as Robles remembers all the people who did him in in the previous life and film. He's out for a little payback.

Universal did these so much better.

Review :

Miscast Actors unable to salvage witless farce

In the 1950s Rank,along with other film producers,were trying to find ways to attract audiences back to the cinema.Having fallen out with Fox over Cinemascope,Rank turned to the short lived Vistavision,to add to Technicolour to attract customers.The fact that this could not disguise the poverty of the script didn't escape them and the film was shelved for 2 years.The best scenes are those at the beginning featuring Carmichael,Harrison and Hayter.After that the film is on a downward spiral.Nearly every actor with a major part is miscast.Carmichael is clearly unsuited to the part.For some reason his hair is made up with a teddyboys quiff.The part would more suit someone like Brian Rix.Diana Dors would certainly have made more of the part than Belinda Lee.Alas Robert Helpmann is just awful as the chief of the gang and would have been better played by Sid James.The climax in the hotel is about as unfunny as you can get.No wonder Carmichael didn't want to discuss it.At a time when he was a rising star of cinema this film could have put him back years.

Review :

No secrets

The fifties were a great time for the French thriller;those years saw Decoin's "La Verite Sur Bebe Donge" ,Allégret's "Manèges" ,Salavsky's "Les Louves" ,Delannoy's unfairly overlooked "Obsession" ,and to top all of them HG Clouzot's IMDb top 250 "Diaboliques".And Duvivier's masterful "Voici le Temps Des Assassins"

Claude Boissol's effort in not in the same league ,by a long shot.Whatever the director tried in his short-lived career ,he failed : comedy (the crude "Julie La Rousse" )historical drama (Napoleon II L'Aiglon probably his best though it does not mean much).According to historian Jean Tulard ,his most interesting work is "La Peau de l'Ours " which featured an unexpected twist as far the murderer was concerned.

With first-class thespians such as Daniele Delorme (who had just made "Voici Le Temps des Assassins " her finest performance ) ,Jean Marais ,Françoise Fabian and Denise Gence ,De La Comédie Française ,how could a director be wrong?It must be said in his defense that the screenplay is rather weak,some kind of a poor man's Boileau -Narcejac -who wrote "Diaboliques " and "Vertigo" -;based on a Luisa Maria Linares novel which fluctuates between film noir (life assurance,a dead who may not be dead,two wives ,one of whom might slowly go nuts,exhumation) and Harlequin Romance story (the affair between Delorme and Marais).

Most of the time the dialog does not ring true,it's even sometimes unintentionally funny ,and the actors seem left to their own devices .Even them cannot save the film from triteness.

Review :

Watch it!

Historically ,this is the first in the series of swashbucklers in which Jean Marais starred from the late fifties to 1962.And this is not the best,because of a desultory script which does not really grab the audience .The first part looks like a poor man's "Fanfan La Tulipe" which also took place during king Louis the Fifteenth's reign .The anti-war spirit (reflected in the performance on stage)may remind you of some of Henri Jeanson's lines ,but it's a pale imitation.the second part can be looked upon as a blueprint for "Le Bossu" ,the following year,La Tour and Lagardère being interchangeable heroes : the dashing fair knight goes to the rescue of a damsel in distress ,deprived of her inheritance.Filmed on scope ,which was still rather luxury in the French cinema ,the director makes the best of it at the beginning in the war scenes ,then for the last scenes with the deported women prisoners en route to La Rochelle .

Review :

They don't make them like that, anymore !

When I was a little boy, I had seen the film, but remembered little of it. However, in the early sixties, my Dad took me on a holiday to Spain, to a little village south of Barcelona, called Sitges. During one coach journey, the courier told us that the mountain road that we were now on was the scene of a fast car drive in a film made a couple of years previously, called 'Chase a Crooked Shadow'. I remember the road well, with the cliff drops hundreds of feet below to the sea and this coupled with my fond memory of that holiday in Franco's long gone Spain and the fact that the film itself is a brilliant piece of old cinema with a terrific twist at the end, makes me watch this film over and over again. I see something in it every time I watch it - the sign of a good film!

Review :

Most synopses of this film are incorrect

Most reviewers of this Mexican horror-comedy tend to get their facts wrong. Despite what almost every synopsis of this film claims, the story is NOT about "a couple having car trouble who are forced to spend the night in a spooky castle."

Here's the real story: Mexican funny-man, El Clavillazo (ANTONIO ESPINO), is in love with a seamstress named Beatriz (EVANGELINA ELIZONDO), and also hangs out with a variety of odd characters, including a newsboy and a mental patient. Meanwhile, at a nearby castle, a mad scientist named "Dr Sputnik" and his scarred, hunchbacked assistant are busy making monsters. The doctor poses as a blind man in town but uses hypnosis to lure Beatriz to his castle and makes her believe that she is his own love named "Galatea". El Clavillazo, with an assist from his friends, blunders his way into the castle, where he spends most of his time being chased around by various monsters. There is the Frankenstein-like butler, GERMÁN ROBLES (star of several serious horror films) as a vampire, a werewolf, a mummy, and a gill man (clearly patterned after "Creature from the Black Lagoon"). There is also another, unidentified monster being kept in a cell, which is referred to as a "gorilla" in some reviews, although it appears to be more of a Neanderthal-like creature, perhaps based on Mr. Hyde. The usual mix of horror and hi-jinx ensues.
