The Bride *** (1985, Sting, Jennifer Beals, Anthony Higgins, Clancy Brown, Veruschka, Quentin Crisp) – Classic Movie Review 5289
Director Franc Roddam’s flashy and stylish 1985 horror movie retells the beloved story from the 1935 classic The Bride of Frankenstein quite decently in a screenplay by Lloyd Fonvielle. However, despite the surface razzle dazzle of Stephen H Burum’s […]
Port of Seven Seas *** (1938, Wallace Beery, Frank Morgan, Maureen O’Sullivan, John Beal, Jessie Ralph) – Classic Movie Review 5267
Director James Whale’s haunting bitter-sweet 1938 MGM romantic drama might not entirely be typical for him, but nevertheless it is good material for him to get to work on. It is based on Marcel Pagnol’s […]
Sweet Bird of Youth *** (1989, Elizabeth Taylor, Mark Harmon, Rip Torn, Valerie Perrine, Ruta Lee, Kevin Geer) – Classic Movie Review 5237
Director Nicolas Roeg’s interesting 1989 TV movie version of the Tennessee Williams play is reworked by teleplay writer Gavin Lambert, apparently using the playwright’s own revisions, though these are not always an improvement on the […]

Dirty Rotten Scoundrels **** (1988, Steve Martin, Michael Caine, Glenne Headly, Anton Rodgers, Barbara Harris) – Classic Movie Review 5214
Director Frank Oz’s delicious 1988 comedy Dirty Rotten Scoundrels stars a perfect team in Steve Martin, Michael Caine and Glenne Headly. Caine plays a suave Englishman named Lawrence Jamieson who preys on wealthy widows by posing […]
Beauty and the Beast *** (2017, Dan Stevens, Emma Watson, Luke Evans, Josh Gad, Kevin Kline) – Movie Review
Director Bill Condon’s fairy tale musical is romantic, warm and good hearted. It has a charming, sweet nature that is easy to like and hard to take against. It is slickly and smoothly made in […]
The Jazz Singer * (1952, Danny Thomas, Peggy Lee, Eduard Franz, Mildred Dunnock) – Classic Movie Review 5027
‘It’s joy set to music. A story that sings out to your heart.’ Well, maybe, but more probably maybe not. Danny Thomas steps into Al Jolson’s singing shoes for Michael Curtiz’s slushy 1952 second film […]
