Alta tensione,
"Alta tensione, regla e trama di Arrigo Colombo, scenario di Arnaldo Baldaccini, fotografia di Bruno Salvadori, interpreti Arnaldo Baldaccini e Aldo Frosi. La pellicola si svolge in una centrale elettrica, ma pur presentando a sfondo della vicenda il funzionamento della centrale stessa, mostra il lavoro nelle sue fasi piu salienti in rapporto e in contrasto con un dramma umano, sottolineando i pericoli e i sacrifici ehe richiede la produzione della Corrente elettrica. In molte sequenze si deve notare lo sforzo dei realizzatori per raggiungere il fine, in qualche caso particolarmente arduo, come nelle scene notturne del salvataggio sulle dighe. Delicate le scene del risveglio del protagonista, con la rappresentazione della serenita della natura al mattino, e assai adeguata nel complesso la interpretazione." - Il Ventuno 26 (Review of the G.U.F. of Venice) March 1935.
High tension,
"High Tension, direction and plot by Arrigo Colombo, scenery by Arnaldo Baldaccini, photography by Bruno Salvadori, actors Arnaldo Baldaccini and Aldo Frosi. The film takes place in a power plant, but while presenting the story of the plant’s operation as the background, it shows the work in its most salient phases in relation to and in contrast with a human drama, underscoring the dangers and sacrifices that the production of electricity requires. In many sequences, one must note the effort of the filmmakers to achieve these ends, in some cases particularly arduous, as in the night scenes of the rescue on the dams. The scenes of the protagonist’s awakening are delicate with the representation nature’s serenity in the morning, and the acting is very fitting." - Il Ventuno 26 (Review of the G.U.F. of Venice) March 1935.
"In The Alpine Vixen, a dramatic story based on folklore legend, Anchor 0. Jensen has raised 8mm. color filming to a level that movie makers in any width would do well to emulate. Particularly in the double exposed sequence of the Titian haired girl in a cave of crystals does he prove his skill with the camera. Mr. Jensen also achieves unusually pleasant outdoor lighting, both in close shots and more distant scenes. The film is accompanied by a narrative, to clarify the pictured story, interspersed with a folk tune played on an accordion, all of which is recorded on a sixteen inch disc. One might have hoped for more somber music to match the menacing mood of the early part of the film, but the accordion tune is in keeping with the climactic scenes of the festive villagers. Infelicities of modern accouterments which would have marred the spirit of the legendary tale have been judiciously avoided." Movie Makers, Dec. 1945, 494.
