I’ll Never Forget What’s’isname *** (1967, Oliver Reed, Orson Welles, Carol White, Harry Andrews) – Classic Movie Review 5898
Producer-director Michael Winner’s typically unsubtle 1967 Swinging Sixties tragi-comedy I’ll Never Forget What’s’isname stars Oliver Reed as Andrew Quint, a conscience-stricken adman who smashes up his desk and quits the business for an honest life […]
The Star **** (1952, Bette Davis, Sterling Hayden, Natalie Wood) – Classic Movie Review 2747
In Stuart Heisler’s 1952 romantic and Hollywood drama The Star, Bette Davis boldly takes on a role written for her arch-rival Joan Crawford, who then turned it down, about Margaret ‘Maggie’ Elliot, a has-been star […]
Hilary and Jackie *** (1998, Emily Watson, Rachel Griffiths) – Classic Movie Review 1693
Director Anand Tucker’s 1998 drama is an impeccably acted, quite imaginatively handled version of the true story of the brilliant British cellist Jacqueline du Pré (Emily Watson) and her devoted musician sister Hilary (Rachel Griffiths). […]
Beyond the Sea **** (2004, Kevin Spacey, Kate Bosworth, Greta Scacchi) Classic Movie Review 1329

Co-writer/director Oliver Stone tackles the tarnished President Richard Nixon in his fascinating but flawed 1995 biopic and real-life drama. In an idiosyncratic portrait, Nixon is shown as a foul-mouthed, emotionally crippled drunkard. Anthony Hopkins, a […]
A Star Is Born ***** (1954, Judy Garland, James Mason, Charles Bickford, Jack Carson) – Classic Movie Review 1,125
Judy Garland and James Mason are at their wonderful best as the doomed star Hollywood couple in George Cukor’s triumphant 1954 classic musical film A Star Is Born. Director George Cukor’s triumphant 1954 classic musical […]
Wimbledon ** (2004, Kirsten Dunst, Paul Bettany, Jon Favreau, Sam Neill, Eleanor Bron, Bernard Hill) – Classic Film Review 640
Reality is left far behind in this airy-fairy romantic comedy and oh-so-shallow sports drama that’s pretty lame and useless but is a harmless time-passer and good for a few giggles. It’s saved more or less singlehandedly […]
