Curly Top *** (1935, Shirley Temple, John Boles, Rochelle Hudson) – Classic Movie Review 10,521
Director Irving Cummings’s 1935 film is Curly Top, and, with that title at that time, who else could it be but Shirley Temple? The moppet is winsome in this mild reworking of Jean Webster’s novel […]

Director Anthony Harvey’s 1979 film Players is an old-hat, ultra-soapy romantic drama about crossed hearts and tennis racquets. It is smoothly enough done, though, with the athletic Dean Paul Martin convincing looking and giving an […]

The glossy, insubstantial 1950 MGM Technicolor musical romantic comedy Duchess of Idaho gets in the swim with a triangular romance between Esther Williams (‘wet she’s a star’) as roommate Chris Duncan, Van Johnson (as the band […]
