Director Gillo Pontecorvo’s 1965 film is a masterly reconstruction in CinemaScope of violent events in Algiers from 1954 to 1957, with an intense personal tale about a petty criminal (Brahim Haggiag [Hadjadj]) recruited into the […]
The Front **** (1976, Woody Allen, Zero Mostel, Herschel Bernardi, Michael Murphy, Andrea Marcovicci, Lloyd Gough, Remak Ramsay) – Classic Movie Review 4905
Co-producer/ director Martin Ritt’s engrossing serious-minded 1976 comedy drama about Hollywood’s Fifties anti-leftist witch-hunts stars Woody Allen in one of his few films as actor only. Ritt called it ‘a film filled with bitterness and irony […]
Fences *** (2016, Denzel Washington, Viola Davis, Stephen Henderson, Jovan Adepo, Russell Hornsby, Mykelti Williamson) – Movie Review
Fences (2016) is an uneasy, stagey and set-bound stage to screen drama of a distinguished hit Broadway play. But the movie is memorable, however, for its characters, drama and dialogue and, especially, for its performances. […]

The Undead *** (1957, Pamela Duncan, Richard Garland, Allison Hayes, Billy Barty) – Classic Movie Review 3986
This 1957 American International Pictures horror movie The Undead is an unexpected surprise success from director Roger Corman’s conveyor belt of ultra-low-budget suspense thrillers. It was filmed in a refurbished supermarket in 10 days for just $70,000. […]
Expresso Bongo **** (1959, Laurence Harvey, Sylvia Syms, Yolande Donlan, Cliff Richard) – Classic Movie Review 3952
Director Val Guest’s 1959 British black and white musical drama Expresso Bongo is a fascinating period piece, and snapshot of a long-ago time and place. It is far more fragrant of its era than the Eighties homage movie […]
Guilty by Suspicion *** (1991, Robert De Niro, Annette Bening, Patricia Wettig, George Wendt, Sam Wanamaker, Barry Primus) – Classic Movie Review 3373
Writer-director Irwin Winkler’s 1991 drama is an interesting and sincere but mild drama of the Hollywood blacklist intrigues. It is an intelligently written reminder of some uncomfortable facts of Hollywood’s – and America’s – past, […]
