Comment on "First-order phase transitions of type-I superconducting   films" [Phys. Rev. A 322 (2004) 111]
  The authors of the paper indicated in the title derived an erroneous effective free energy of superconducting slabs (films) and this error led them to entirely wrong conclusions. Here we shall make clear the genesis of this mistake.
