“The Law of Vengeance”
Last car. USA, 1941 (100 minutes). Directed by Delmer Daves. Cast: Richard Widmark, Felicia Farr, Susan Kohner.
Master Daves offers a new gem in the form of a tight and gripping western. An intense and suspenseful staging and a harsh handling of violence are his weapons to follow Richard Widmark as a condemned man who has to save a caravan from an attack by the Indians.

“Victor or Victoria”
USA, 1982 (130 minutes). Director: Blake Edwards. Cast: Julie Andrews, James Garner, Robert Benton.
Blake Edwards’ talent, which had been dormant for several years, has been resurrected in this zany plot that ties entanglements over sexual misunderstandings to the romantic musical. Julie Andrews wants to get a job as an artist so she dresses up as a man who dresses up as a woman. Wrapped in the songs of Mancini and Bricusse, an intelligent, elegant and witty film beat; so the opposite of almost all comedies of the eighties.

In the 1940s, before cinema had yet succumbed to the morass of special effects, producer Val Newton and director Jacques Tourneur signed a handful of films for RKO that combined horror and poetry and explored the unreal, the fantastic, it always sprang from insinuation. The panther woman reveals magical and frightening worlds and shows the viewer how dreamlike and reality can blur in front of the camera.

peace and flowers. The mythical rock opera by Ragni, Rado and McDermott, so successfully transferred to the screen by Milos Forman that the film continues today as freshly as when it premiered. Of course there is a lot of ingenuity in it. A whole pacifist song wrapped in a sensational soundtrack and some mesmerizing visuals.

“An Angel Walked Through Brooklyn”
Spain, 1958 (87 minutes). Directed by Ladislao Vajda. Actors: Peter Ustinov, Pablito Calvo, Isabel de Pomés, José Isbert.
A sweet, tender story with lots of syrup can take off when a filmmaker like Lasdislao Vajda is behind the camera; Its clean and transparent staging, as well as its narrative solidity, reinforce a costumbrista story with a strong morality, centered on a despotic and cruel subject who transforms into a dog to discover that he has a heart too.
