Lilith **** (1964, Warren Beatty, Jean Seberg, Peter Fonda, Kim Hunter, Jessica Walter, Gene Hackman) – Classic Movie Review 6191
Writer-producer-director Robert Rossen’s polished 1964 drama stars Warren Beatty, Jean Seberg and Peter Fonda, and is based on J R Salamanca’s novel of love, madness, creativity, jealousy, unrequited love and incestuous desire. Everybody seems to be battling – if […]
Ulysses **** (1967, Milo O’Shea, Barbara Jefford, Maurice Roëves) – Classic Movie Review 6163
Co-writer/producer/ director Joseph Strick’s superb 1967 British drama is a bold and involving – and admirable – attempt to translate the seemingly unfilmable James Joyce stream-of-consciousness novel to the screen. It is especially notable for […]

Call Me by Your Name ***** (2017, Armie Hammer, Timothée Chalamet, Michael Stuhlbarg, Amira Casar, Esther Garrel) – Movie Review
Director Luca Guadagnino’s gloriously, unashamedly, outrageously romantic gay movie coming-of-age tale of first love Call Me by Your Name is based on André Aciman’s acclaimed debut novel published in 2007. This is one heck of […]

Drew Barrymore stars in a career-starter early horror role in the 1984 film Firestarter, as a precocious eight-year-old little girl called ‘Charlie’ McGee, who can ignite objects with just a glance. Drew Barrymore stars in […]
The Venetian Affair *** (1966, Robert Vaughn, Elke Sommer, Felicia Farr, Boris Karloff, Karl Boehm, Luciana Paluzzi) – Classic Movie Review 6011
The ever-suave Robert Vaughn and smooth Sixties spy intrigue thrillers of course went together perfectly. He was a big star in 1966 – this action espionage thriller was simply advertised as ‘Vaughn! Venice! Vooom!’ It was […]
