		De naam Stanley Donen is niet wijd verbreid bekend, zelfs niet onder filmliefhebbers, en waarschijnlijk is dat te wijten aan het enorme 'star-appeal' van de man met wie hij drie van zijn beste films co-regisseerde.
		Stanley Donen maakte Singin' in the rain (1952), samen met Gene Kelly, en met dit musical-meesterwerk herhaalden ze in feite de magische formule die ze in de jaren veertig als dansers en choreografen onder contract van MGM hadden ontwikkeld.

		The 1963 film is directed by Stanley Donen, but it has been called "Hitchcockian" for good reason: the possible duplicities between lovers, the unspoken agendas between a man and woman sharing secrets.

	Besalas por mi (1957) de Stanley Donen - El Criticon
		Una de las espléndidas asociaciones entre Cary Grant y su buen amigo el director Stanley Donen ("Charada", "Página en blanco" e "Indiscreta" serían las otras) que aquí presentan una más que buena comedia ambientada en la útima fase de la segunda guerra mundial.
		Buen guión de Julius Epstein, basado en la obra teatral del mismo título, luminosa fotografía de Milton Krasner y ágil narración de Donen son los condimentos que exhibe este film, que carente de pretensiones, hará pasar un buen rato a cualquier buen aficionado al cine que se ponga delante de la pantalla.
		Con las habituales dosis de romanticismo y humor, sazonadas por unos sabrosos diálogos que sirven para adobar una historia en la que se palpa un latente atisbo crítico hacia la beligerancia y a todos los intereses creados que la guerra provoca, "Bésalas por mi" es un recomendable modelo de como tiene que desarrollarse una comedia.
