Partners * (1982, Ryan O’Neal, John Hurt, Kenneth McMillan) – Classic Movie Review 10,424
The 1982 crime comedy Partners is a disappointing, wrong-headed comedy-drama from American TV’s sitcomic mastermind James Burrows in his bewildering film début. John Hurt and Ryan O’Neal play an odd couple as LA cops probing […]
The Passage (1979, Anthony Quinn, James Mason, Malcolm McDowell, Christopher Lee, Patricia Neal, Kay Lenz, Michael Lonsdale) – Classic Movie Review 10,422
Director J Lee Thompson’s 1979 The Passage is a poor, nasty and depressingly violent World War Two action adventure film, wasting the impressive talents of Anthony Quinn, James Mason, Malcolm McDowell, Christopher Lee, Patricia Neal, […]
Pascali’s Island **** (1988, Ben Kingsley, Charles Dance, Helen Mirren) – Classic Movie Review 10,421
Director James Dearden’s 1988 British period spy drama Pascali’s Island is based on the novel by Barry Unsworth and is a most satisfying tale of love and spies set on a Greek island just before […]

Director Sidney Franklin’s 1934 Victorian England romantic drama The Barretts of Wimpole Street [Forbidden Alliance] showcases a great barnstorming turn by Charles Laughton as Elizabeth Barrett’s tyrannical brute of a father, Edward Moulton-Barrett. It is […]
Summer and Smoke *** (1961, Laurence Harvey, Geraldine Page, Rita Moreno, John McIntire, Pamela Tiffin, Thomas Gomez, Earl Holliman, Lee Patrick, Malcolm Atterbury) – Classic Movie Review 10,418
Director Peter Glenville’s fiery 1962 drama of repressed love Summer and Smoke offers more Tennessee Williams Southern poetic passion, with Geraldine Page grabbing her chance to repeat her off-Broadway role as a hurt and fading […]
Le Passage [The Passage] * (1986, Alain Delon, Christine Boisson, Jean-Luc Moreau, Daniel Emilfork) – Classic Movie Review 10,417
Alain Delon plays a peace-loving animator film-maker killed in an accident and involved in a supernatural game with Death (Daniel Emilfork), in director René Manzor’s bizarre 1986 French fantasy film Le Passage [The Passage]. The […]
