Colorado Territory **** (1949, Joel McCrea, Virginia Mayo, Dorothy Malone, Henry Hull, John Archer) – Classic Movie Review 6,442
Raoul Walsh’s powerful 1949 Western film Colorado Territory gallops along, with a moody, fatalistic atmosphere swirling around Joel McCrea and Virginia Mayo, plus a dark film noir look refreshingly unusual in a Western. Director Raoul […]
Crooks in Cloisters *** (1963, Ronald Fraser, Barbara Windsor, Bernard Cribbins) – Classic Movie Review 5386
The endearingly daft 1963 film Crooks in Cloisters is a happy reminder of the pleasantly simpler days of British comedy when characters were called Bikini (Barbara Windsor of course), Squirts (Bernard Cribbins) and Specs (Davy […]

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 Assassination of Jesse James by the Coward Robert Ford ****½ (2007, Brad Pitt, Casey Affleck, Sam Shepard, Sam Rockwell) – Classic Movie Review 2400
Casey Affleck gives a superbly snivelling performance as the 20-year-old rat-like coward Robert Ford, who has idolised the Missouri outlaw gang leader Jesse James since childhood. Director Andrew Dominik‘s 2007 movie takes its place as one […]
