William Wyler's Hell’s Heroes (1929). Three outlaws in the desert find themselves saddled with a baby. Saving themselves will be hard enough. A visually impressive western. Not a bad movie but much too sentimental for my tastes.

A young, introverted butterfly collector (Terrence Stamp) in a secluded big house with a separate cellar, moves up his territory when he kidnaps a pretty art school student (Samantha Eggar). After begging and pleading and escape attempts, they sort of agree on their terms - he will let her go after 4 weeks, hoping she will fall in love with him.
With only two principal actors (plus one small character in the middle), this John Fowles adaptation feels more like a play. Young Stamp is intense, playing the role of creepy, shy man with chips on his shoulders. Is it sex that you want from me? Miranda the art student asks him. No. He wants to respect her as a proper woman. There is a big confrontation over Catcher in the Rye. Their class differences are highlighted and the gap between them is obviously too wide. Intriguing psychological drama.

William Wyler’s The Collector based on John Fowles' novel was subject matter that would need careful handling in 1965.

A kind of horror movie, but very low-key subtle horror with the focus on psychological horror.

A young man collects butterflies but decides that collecting a girl would be even more fun, so he kidnaps one. He decides to keep her.

Puro drama sureño al estilo de . El reputado director ponía bajo sus órdenes en a unos jóvenes y , ésta encaminada ya a ser una gran dama del cine, para encarnar la historia de amor/desamor de una joven sureña rebelde y caprichosa.
Suena a la Escarlata de Fleming que vendría un año después (1939), ¿no? Pues compartió compositor musical y director de fotografía.

Bette Davis gives her career best performance in William Wyler's steamy overheated noirish tropical melodrama The Letter (1940). Based on a story by Somerset Maugham. Great movie.
