We’re No Angels *** (1955, Humphrey Bogart, Peter Ustinov, Aldo Ray, Leo G Carroll, Joan Bennett, Basil Rathbone) – Classic Movie Review 3362
Director Michael Curtiz’s likeable but insubstantial 1955 Technicolor comedy, crime, romance movie We’re No Angels is cosy, kind-hearted, larkish entertainment, motoring almost entirely on its considerable star appeal. Humphrey Bogart plays Joseph, a prisoner who escapes at […]

The Desperate Hours **** (1955, Humphrey Bogart, Fredric March) – Classic Movie Review 1349
Director William Wyler’s 1955 thriller tells the archetypal tale of a gang of ruthless convicts on the run who commandeer a middle-class family’s house and terrorise the whole household. But, the obvious old question is, […]
Out of Sight **** (1998, George Clooney, Jennifer Lopez, Ving Rhames, Don Cheadle, Dennis Farina, Albert Brooks, Steve Zahn, Catherine Keener, Nancy Allen, Michael Keaton, Samuel L Jackson) – Classic Movie Review 1001
Director Steven Soderbergh’s 1998 thriller is yet another highly intriguing and entertaining but not entirely great attempt at filming another of Elmore Leonard’s esteemed Florida low-life thrillers. It’s a problem that George Clooney just doesn’t […]
