Dragon Seed ** (1944, Katharine Hepburn, Walter Huston, Turhan Bey, Aline MacMahon, Akim Tamiroff, Hurd Hatfield, Agnes Moorehead) – Classic Movie Review 8813
MGM’s 1944 propaganda drama film Dragon Seed is a failed bid to film the hit Pearl S Buck novel about the Chinese being forced to cope with Japanese invaders. It stars a miscast Katharine Hepburn, […]
Sugarfoot *** (1951, Randolph Scott, Raymond Massey, Adele Jergens, S Z Sakall, Robert Warwick, Arthur Hunnicutt, John Hamilton, Hugh Sanders) – Classic Movie Review 7416
Director Edwin L Marin’s 1951 Sugarfoot is a grippingly told, action-packed Technicolor Western, set down Arizona way, and starring Randolph Scott, Raymond Massey and Adele Jergens. Fast moving and sure footed, it is written by Russell S Hughes (adaptation) from the novel […]
The Merchant of Venice *** (2004, Al Pacino, Joseph Fiennes, Lynn Collins, Jeremy Irons, Alan Corduner) – Classic Movie Review 6207
Writer-director Michael Radford’s much admired 2004 movie version of the William Shakespeare tragic play is gorgeously filmed where it is supposed to happen in Venice. Al Pacino has a field day as the Merchant Shylock, charismatically […]
Anthony Adverse **** (1936, Fredric March, Olivia de Havilland, Gale Sondergaard, Edmund Gwenn, Claude Rains) – Classic Movie Review 5732

Brother Sun, Sister Moon [Fratello Sole, Sorella Luna] *** (1972, Graham Faulkner, Judi Bowker, Leigh Lawson, Alec Guinness, Peter Firth) – Classic Movie Review 2966
Director Franco Zeffirelli originally conceived his 1972 biopic of St Francis of Assisi (1181-1226) back in the mid-Sixties and it is that decade’s idealistic, love-and-peace, love-as-all-you-need flavour that is stamped all over this hippyish youth-slanted […]
The Woodlanders *** (1997, Emily Woof, Rufus Sewell) – Classic Movie Review 1688
With Ashley Rowe’s cinematography so atmospheric, you can just smell the English countryside. Director Phil Agland’s 1997 film is a meticulously realised but dark, dour and depressing adaptation of Thomas Hardy’s classic novel. It is distinguished […]
Hello, Dolly! ***** (1969, Barbra Streisand, Walter Matthau, Michael Crawford, Louis Armstrong, Danny Lockin, Tommy Tune, Fritz Feld) – Classic Movie Review 1233
Director Gene Kelly’s gloriously tuneful and delightful 1969 movie of Jerry Herman’s 1964 Broadway magical musical, based on Thornton Wilder’s classic play The Matchmaker, won three Oscars. The 27-year-old Barbra Streisand may be far too […]
