Estate violenta (1959)
The protagonistic couple's election is decisive. The mature woman and the youth are achieved faultlessly. During years I was in love with that woman (I was 16 years old when I saw it).
I believe that there are movies, and movies... "Violent summer", in my modest opinion, it is one of those movies "outstanding." It is able to remain in the memory after 42 years, with some unforgettable Eleonora Rossi Drago and Jean Louis Trintignant. The music " live-motive" it created next to the rest of the sound band and the "light and shade" of the picture an overwhelming and captivating atmosphere. The protagonistic couple's election is decisive. The mature woman and the youth are achieved faultlessly. During years I was in love with that woman (I was 16 years old when I saw it). I believe that it is unjust to disqualify certain movies. There will always be who find defects of some type. And in any thing. Maximum when it is intangible things. But the feelings, the summer, the war like detonating., and the passion becomes tangible in this film. And that is undeniable. God willing it is re-published in the future for delight of us and of the new generations. Because the good cinema is much more than the critics of the specialist.
The Story of Esther Costello (1957)
but the girl's history "blind-deaf and silent" it was taken with such a realism that the movie is really impressive.
Of not having been for the spectacular interpretation of both: Joan Crawford and Rossano Brazzi, it had been impossible to locate this movie in the database. In the Argentina it was exhibited as "La ragazza d'oro" or "The girl of gold" (I don't remember it exactly). I have not been able to see the original version, although the common thing was that many scenes "strong" was suppressed (to the style of what counts Cinema Paradisso), and inclusive he lost temper the translation of the dialogues. I saw this movie being still smaller than age but accompanied by my mother that achieved that they allowed me to enter to the cinematograph a rainy noon of winter. We had gone shopping to the great city and the trade closed at noon. She was fanatic admiring of both actors. The movie was "not capable it stops smaller than 18 years", and the only thing "boisterous" that was seen they were some "shirt twins" of him that Joan found in the girl's bed. But like they said "it was enough to understand the argument." Still to the 18 years one had enough "film culture", and it had fixed them to him to see "Wage of fear", the versions of "dramas" of Tennessee Williams and of Arthur Miller and until "God's litle acre"!, I believe to be able to say with enough foundation that "Story of Esther Costello" she had all the necessary one to be remembered as "a classic." It ignored that it was based on a real case, but the girl's history "blind-deaf and silent" it was taken with such a realism that the movie is really impressive.
Tiger Bay (1959)
the virtue of remaining in the memory as if the has seen ago alone a moment.
. This comment is based on the memory. In my country we have not still had the luck that their V.H.S neither their D.V.D are published. Neither she has recovered in the cinematographs, neither it has never been exhibited by T.V. neither for Cable. Filmed in white and black when already the color, the "panoramic screen", the "Cinemascope" and until the "Cinerama" they invaded the cinematographs from all over the world. Their picture and alignment are outstanding. With some (for then) unwonted first planes (the eye of Hayley to the whole screen still impresses me, in spite of those almost 43 lapsed years). Horst Bucholz their character composed masterfully (maybe the best in his career). The premiere of Hayley Mills (it photographed as the gods) he made denounce a blinding future (and not because his dad was anything less than John Mills). The climate and the flunk are perfectly achieved and dosed. A really excellent movie...and that it shares with some few ones the virtue of remaining in the memory as if the has seen ago alone a moment.
Stars and Stripes Forever (1952)
One film "for ever.."
This film shares with some few ones, the virtue of having remained in my memory "for ever."(I should express myself through a "translator." Apologize if there are errors.) they are many the movies that one goes. They are few those that have this "angel" Of those "new" it could mention "Ghost", or those of Schwazenegger..!, or "The Bodyguard", or Nothinhill or E.T", it doesn't depend on the "gender", neither of the performance, neither of the truthfulness, neither of the budget. They have something that makes them maybe inolvidables.Y it is the virtue more "looked for" for all artist. I ignore if these last they will pass the the 50 year-old test in the memory of the new generations. But "Stars and Stripes for ever", it shares with first o'clock "The Defiant ones", "The Unicorn", "Taxi to Toubruc", "Splendor in the Grass", among other, that "mystery." Still without the promotion of "Casablanca"· or "Gilda", for example, they remain in the memory "forever." I have not seen it again in almost 50 years. I cannot already speak of superlative performances or historical inaccuracies. It is not surely a "documental" But it is an unforgettable movie. I yearn that Sousa would surely share.
