Visages du cinéma

Serge Daney

Rio Bravo is a world that is complete unto itself and in which nothing is lost; it is a microcosm in perpetual evolution where everything contributes to an ultimate harmony that can be reached by banding together and helping one another.

One doesn't believe in the atmosphere or in the people. No senator has ever been as senatorial as Walter Pidgeon.

You can't hire a judge without breaking a few nerves. This insightful political film is terrific.

Viewing it today, its quaintness and timidness make it seem out of step with the even more insidious contemporary times.

A poignant, biting expose of the American political process, boasting a large ensemble of terrific actors (Fonda, Laughton), Preminger's saga set the trend of future, more sensationalitsic political melodramas like Fail Safe and All the President's Men.
