Shopworn *** (1932, Barbara Stanwyck, Regis Toomey, Zasu Pitts, Clara Blandick) – Classic Movie Review 8449
Director Nick [Nicholas] Grinde’s 1932 drama Shopworn is a typical early Thirties pre-Code Barbara Stanwyck vehicle, both fiery and lusty, in which she plays Kitty Lane, a young, poor, struggling waitress driven to a Reformatory […]
I’ll Do Anything ** (1994, Nick Nolte, Albert Brooks, Whittni Wright, Tracey Ullman, Joely Richardson, Julie Kavner, Ian McKellen) – Classic Movie Review 8448
Writer-director James L Brooks’s 1994 romantic comedy drama I’ll Do Anything went awry and was a troubled production. It was made as a musical until test audiences rejected it, and the last-minute cutting has damaged […]

The 30-year-old writer-director Brady Corbet’s second film Vox Lux (2018) is his edgy, ambitious, confident and stylish follow-up to his The Childhood of a Leader (2015). It is equally provocative and dynamic, as well as […]
Woman at War [Kona fer í stríð] **** (2018, Halldóra Geirharðsdóttir, Jóhann Sigurðarson, Juan Camillo Roman Estrada) – Movie Review
Co-writer/ director Benedikt Erlingsson’s Woman at War, Iceland’s submission to the 91st Academy Awards (2018), cheered me up enormously. It is an expertly aimed feel-good movie, delightfully quirky and funny, definitely about something, many things […]

Long-time Clapham South resident Susannah York plays the forlorn love interest Terry Steyner, who ends up two-in-a-bath with her co-star Roger Moore, in director Peter R Hunt’s 1974 South African-filmed adventure thriller hokum Gold. Wilbur […]
