The Battle of the River Plate [Pursuit of the Graf Spee] *** (1956, John Gregson, Anthony Quayle, Peter Finch, Bernard Lee, Ian Hunter, Patrick Macnee, Christopher Lee, Barry Foster) – Classic Movie Review 5506
One of writer-producer-directors Michael Powell and Emeric Pressburger’s final films together is this sturdy if surprisingly routine 1956 Second World War movie about the British Royal Navy’s pursuit and scuttling of the German pocket battleship Graf […]
Oh… Rosalinda!! *** (1955, Michael Redgrave, Anthony Quayle, Anton Walbrook, Dennis Price, Mel Ferrer, Ludmilla Tchérina) – Classic Movie Review 5,505
The 1955 British Technicolor film Oh… Rosalinda!! is an ambitious and imaginative if slightly fumbled and clumsy box-office flop musical from writer-producer-directors Michael Powell and Emeric Pressburger. Their game plan is to update Johann Strauss’s operetta […]

Unleashed [Danny the Dog] **** (2005, Jet Li, Bob Hoskins, Morgan Freeman) – Classic Movie Review 5501
Director Louis Leterrier’s 2005 British-French martial arts action thriller is really weird and uncomfortable but it remains a top action film and, arguably, Jet Li’s best English language movie. It is as tough as it is quirky, and provides […]
