We’re No Angels *** (1955, Humphrey Bogart, Peter Ustinov, Aldo Ray, Leo G Carroll, Joan Bennett, Basil Rathbone) – Classic Movie Review 3362
Director Michael Curtiz’s likeable but insubstantial 1955 Technicolor comedy, crime, romance movie We’re No Angels is cosy, kind-hearted, larkish entertainment, motoring almost entirely on its considerable star appeal. Humphrey Bogart plays Joseph, a prisoner who escapes at […]

The Last Days of Pompeii *** (1935, Preston Foster, Basil Rathbone, Alan Hale) – Classic Movie Review 2620
Directors Merian C Cooper and Ernest B Schoedsack’s 1935 movie turns out not to be a version of the credited Sir Edward Bulwer-Lytton novel but rather a tale of a gentle, peace-loving Pompeii blacksmith Marcus […]
Crossroads *** (1942, William Powell, Hedy Lamarr, Basil Rathbone, Claire Trevor) – Classic Movie Review 2595
Director Jack Conway’s glitzy 1942 mystery film noir thriller is set in Paris in 1935 and tells an engrossing story with classic vintage actors. Despite being made during World War Two and its setting, there’s no hint of […]
