Plenty *** (1985, Meryl Streep, Sam Neill, Charles Dance, Tracey Ullman, John Gielgud, Sting, Ian McKellen, André Maranne, Bert Kwouk) – Classic Movie Review 6377
Meryl Streep heads an outstanding cast in Fred Schepisi’s 1985 film of the David Hare play about Susan Traherne, an Englishwoman whose work for the French resistance in World War Two eclipses all of her […]
The Grey Fox **** (1982, Richard Farnsworth, Jackie Burroughs, Ken Pogue) – Classic Movie Review 6376
A commanding performance by Richard Farnsworth, the former ace stuntman turned distinguished star character actor, adds fire and feeling to director Philip Borsos’s 1982 Canadian film account of real-life Old West highwayman Bill Miner, who […]
The Ambushers ** (1967, Dean Martin, Senta Berger, Janice Rule, Beverly Adams) – Classic Movie Review 6375
Director Henry Levin’s 1967 movie is the third of the four Matt Helm spy spoof films, following the hits The Silencers and Murderers’ Row (1966). Only one man – Dean Martin’s fondly remembered Sixties top-secret […]
Murderers’ Row ** (1966, Dean Martin, Ann-Margret, Karl Malden, Camilla Sparv, James Gregory, Beverly Adams) – Classic Movie Review 6374
There is some mild Sixties spy spoof fun to be had from director Henry Levin’s silly, vacuous second Matt Helm 1966 spy comedy-thriller caper (following the hit The Silencers). The splendidly insouciant, carefree, unconcerned and light-hearted Dean Martin […]
The Pelican Brief ** (1993, Julia Roberts, Denzel Washington, Sam Shepard) – Classic Movie Review 6373
Screen-writer/ producer/ director Alan J Pakula’s sleek and polished 1993 movie was the second of John Grisham’s legal thriller novels to hit the screen – after The Firm (1993) with Tom Cruise. But it suffers […]
Piranha *** (1978, Bradford Dillman, Heather Menzies, Kevin McCarthy, Keenan Wynn, Dick Miller, Barbara Steele) – Classic Movie Review 6372
With the story and screenplay written by John Sayles, director Joe Dante’s 1978 monster movie Piranha is a cult favourite. It is still probably Sayles’s most amusing film to date, though obviously not best – […]
Passion Fish **** (1992, Mary McDonnell, Alfre Woodard, Angela Bassett) – Classic Movie Review 6371
John Sayles won the first of his two Oscar nominations for Best Screenplay so far for Passion Fish (1992) and Lone Star (1996), though arguably Matewan (1987) is still probably Sayles’s best film to date and Piranha (story and screenplay) might be his […]
