Love in the City (1953) André Bazin Much will be forgiven its creators for a dazzling opening and a sensational musical score.

Lust for Life (1956) André Bazin I cannot say much that is positive... The worst is avoided here, yes, but can we say that the image offered of van Gogh and his life is designed to enlighten us both about his work in particular and about the problems of artistic creation in general?

A Farewell to Arms (1957) André Bazin So A Farewell to Arms has become a "war movie." But if, forgetting for a moment the comparison with the novel, we judge it from this point of view, our reservations give way to a certain admiration.

Moby Dick (1956) André Bazin Huston's Moby Dick, though, is finally not unworthy of its source. While so many adapted films of literary masterpieces are little more than perfunctory plot summaries, the failure of this one owes nothing to oversimplification or stupidity.

A King in New York (1957) André Bazin The weaknesses of the movie's scenario do not diminish in any way the splendor of its visual style.

The Bachelor Party (1957) André Bazin Unfortunately, I do not have enough space here to analyze the numerous other sociological lessons offered by this extremely rich film, whose mise-en-scene is brilliant at the same time as it appears to be "neutral."

War and Peace (1956) André Bazin The film seems to me to be an acceptable approximation of a great novel -- one that will win thanks for King Vidor from a few hundred thousand new readers.

12 Angry Men (1957) André Bazin One has to imagine the dramatic imagination that went into creating this fascinating, psychologically realistic motion picture, which, from start to finish, never changes its subject or its location.

I'll Cry Tomorrow (1955) André Bazin Almost the entire picture lacks credibility in spite of the theoretical likelihood of the situations depicted.

Blackboard Jungle (1955) André Bazin [The] film confines itself to dealing with a theme that has often been treated by the cinema: delinquent or even predatory adolescence. But Blackboard Jungle revitalizes this theme through its social activism and its documentary realism.

The Man With the Golden Arm (1955) André Bazin These weaknesses can be ignored thanks to the admirable verisimilitude and powerful originality of the main character, wonderfully interpreted by Frank Sinatra.
