Whisky Galore! ** (2016, Eddie Izzard, Gregor Fisher, Fenella Woolgar, James Cosmo, Naomi Battrick, Tim Pigott-Smith, Ellie Kendrick) – Movie Review
Eddie Izzard and Gregor Fisher put their comedy skills behind this mild but pleasant enough remake of the Ealing Studios classic. Izzard does a dithering Captain Mainwaring impersonation as Captain Waggett. Eddie Izzard and Gregor […]
Gaby * (1956, Leslie Caron, John Kerr, Cedric Hardwicke) – Classic Movie Review 5426
Director Curtis Bernhardt’s anaemic, artificial and preposterous 1956 romantic drama stars Leslie Caron as ballerina Gaby, who goes from dizzy happiness to contemplating suicide after her lover is apparently killed in the D-Day landings. This […]
Waterloo Bridge **** (1940, Vivien Leigh, Robert Taylor, Lucile Watson) – Classic Movie Review 5422
Director Mervyn LeRoy’s 1940 vintage black and white MGM romance Waterloo Bridge is a sweet, tear-jerking winner, although it cries out for Technicolor when Joseph Ruttenberg shoots it in black and white. Though Vivien Leigh […]

Mark Wahlberg takes over the old Michael Caine role as master thief Charlie Croker in director F Gary Gray’s fast-paced and enjoyable enough, if uninspired 2003 total revamp of the classic Sixties crime caper The […]
The Truth about Charlie ½ (2003, Mark Wahlberg, Thandie Newton, Tim Robbins) Classic Movie Review 5349
Co-writer/ director Jonathan Demme’s appalling 2003 movie is a catastrophic remake of the sparkling 1963 thriller Charade, with Mark Wahlberg and Thandie Newton doing nothing whatever to battle their bizarre miscasting in the old Cary […]
Penitentiary ** (1938, Walter Connolly, John Howard, Jean Parker, Robert Barrat, Marc Lawrence) – Classic Movie Review 5297
Director John Brahm’s 1938 Columbia Pictures remake of Howard Hawks’s classic prison drama movie The Criminal Code (1931) is watchable but a lesser and largely unnecessary movie. It stars Walter Connolly, John Howard, Jean Parker, Robert Barrat […]
