Cimarron * (1960, Glenn Ford, Maria Schell, Anne Baxter, Arthur O’Connell, Vic Morrow, Russ Tamblyn, Mercedes McCambridge) – Classic Movie Review 6488
Director Anthony Mann’s 1961 remake of the classic 1931 Western film Cimarron, based on the novel by Edna Ferber, is slow, overblown and empty, running a plodding 147 minutes. It is a real disappointment, despite […]
Kings of the Sun ** (1963, Yul Brynner, George Chakiris, Shirley Anne Field) – Classic Movie Review 6472
Unfortunately, Elliott Arnold and James R Webb’s screenplay stretches credibility to the hilt and beyond in director J Lee Thompson’s elaborate 1963 historical drama about the ancient Mayan civilisation, in which Yul Brynner strikes beefcake poses […]
The Big Fisherman * (1959, Howard Keel, Alexander Scourby, Susan Kohner, John Saxon, Martha Hyer, Herbert Lom) – Classic Movie Review 6206
Singer Howard Keel often proved a nice, effective actor, but here he is uncomfortably cast as Saint Peter, in the Walt Disney studio’s often tepid, sometimes incompetent 1959 drama based on Lloyd C Douglas’s once […]

Director Franco Zeffirelli’s distinguished 1977 Biblical epic film Jesus of Nazareth finds a perfect star actor in Robert Powell, who is excellent as Jesus of Nazareth, in this deservedly much acclaimed and widely shown, all-star […]

Writer-producer-director D W Griffith’s 1921 big-budget ($1,000,000) historical romantic drama, based on the 1874 French play Les Deux Orphelines by Adolphe d’Ennery and Eugène Cormon, is the last of his series of really great silent epic films and […]
The Charge of the Light Brigade **** (1968, Trevor Howard, John Gielgud, David Hemmings, Vanessa Redgrave, Jill Bennett, Harry Andrews) – Classic Movie Review 4724
Director Tony Richardson’s last great film is a superb reworking of, as well as antidote to, the old romantic and heroic fictionalised Errol Flynn film The Charge of the Light Brigade (1936), seen through the […]
Doctor Zhivago ***** (1965, Omar Sharif, Julie Christie, Geraldine Chaplin, Alec Guinness, Rita Tushingham, Ralph Richardson, Tom Courtenay, Rod Steiger) – Classic Movie Review 2692
Director David Lean’s lovingly made 1965 movie version of Boris Pasternak’s great Russian novel stars Omar Sharif as the Moscow doctor and poet Yuri Zhivago, who is embroiled in the horrors of the Russian revolution and […]
