Alexander the Great *** (1956, Richard Burton, Fredric March, Claire Bloom, Danielle Darrieux, Barry Jones, Harry Andrews, Peter Cushing, Stanley Baker, Peter Wyngarde) – Classic Movie Review 6585
Writer-producer-director Robert Rossen’s Spanish-filmed 1956 historical epic of Alexander the Great [Alexander III of Macedon] (356-323 BC) is a clever and thoughtful movie. The young Richard Burton proves a good choice as the Greek warrior […]
Edward II **** (1991, Steven Waddington, Kevin Collins, Tilda Swinton, Nigel Terry, Andrew Tiernan, John Lynch, Dudley Sutton, Annie Lennox) – Classic Movie Review 6497
Director Derek Jarman’s 1991 film version of Christopher Marlowe’s 16th-century Elizabethan play about the outrageous gay English King Edward II is a lively, imaginative and often moving piece of work. It brings the revered antique play […]

Solomon and Sheba *** (1959, Yul Brynner, Gina Lollobrigida, George Sanders, Marisa Pavan, David Farrar) – Classic Movie Review 5710
Yul Brynner stars as Solomon but the voluptuous Gina Lollobrigida and the waspish George Sanders are much more fun as Sheba and Adonijah. The Old Testament according to director King Vidor, using as his text […]
