The Great St Trinian’s Train Robbery ** (1966, George Cole, Frankie Howerd, Dora Bryan, Reg Varney) – Classic Movie Review 2798
The 1966 fourth episode of Frank Launder and Sidney Gilliat’s broad farcical St Trinian’s comedies, based on the cartoons of Ronald Searle, is unfortunately a rather weary effort. Alas there is neither Alastair Sim nor Joyce […]
The Happiest Days of Your Life ***** (1950, Alastair Sim, Margaret Rutherford, Joyce Grenfell, Richard Wattis, Edward Rigby, Guy Middleton, George Cole) – Classic Movie Review 2793
Co-writer/co-producer/director Frank Launder’s 1950 British school-days farcical comedy is super vintage fun. John Dighton and Launder’s screenplay, adapted from John Dighton’s stage play, is all about the antagonism and chaos caused when a British government department […]
Blue Murder at St Trinian’s **** (1957, George Cole, Terry-Thomas, Joyce Grenfell, Alastair Sim, Lionel Jeffries, Sabrina, Richard Wattis) – Classic Movie Review 2789
Alastair Sim returns as St Trinian’s headmistress Miss Millicent Frinton, though alas appears in only two scenes, put out of action tied up in the school belfry, so the English gym-slipped schoolgirls can head off for […]
Doctor in the House **** (1954, Dirk Bogarde, Kenneth More, Donald Sinden, Kay Kendall, Donald Houston, James Robertson Justice, Muriel Pavlow) – Classic Movie Review 2,691
Ralph Thomas’s 1954 British comedy smash Doctor in the House is the now venerable first film of Richard Gordon’s stories of the medical students of St Swithin’s Hospital in London. It was Britain’s most popular […]
The Prince and the Showgirl *** (1957, Laurence Olivier, Marilyn Monroe, Jeremy Spenser, Sybil Thorndike, Richard Wattis) – Classic Movie Review 2653
Laurence Olivier directs Marilyn Monroe in England in 1957 in this patchy but pleasant romantic comedy that by and large manages the odd trick of joining together of two very different screen legends and two […]
The Abominable Snowman *** (1957, Peter Cushing, Forrest Tucker, Maureen Connell, Richard Wattis, Robert Brown) – Classic Movie Review 1,267
Writer Nigel Kneale turns his 1955 BBC TV play The Creature into the intriguing, intelligently written, decently acted 1957 Hammer horror film The Abominable Snowman, with Peter Cushing reprising his star TV role. Writer Nigel […]
Hobson’s Choice ***** (1954, Charles Laughton, John Mills, Brenda de Banzie, Prunella Scales) – Classic Film Review 342
The charismatic Charles Laughton’s expertly judged, delightfully quirky and magnetically larger-than-life performance as 19th-century shop owner Henry Hobson is a greatly loved, career-peak for this admired actor. It is the heart and soul and central […]
