Susan Lenox (Her Fall and Rise) *** (1931, Greta Garbo, Clark Gable, Jean Hersholt) – Classic Movie Review 3538
Director Robert Z Leonard’s 1931 MGM drama is notable for starring the king and queen of Thirties Hollywood in their only screen pairing. Naturally Greta Garbo and Clark Gable make a must-see team in this […]
Tale of Tales [Il racconto dei racconti] **** (2015, Salma Hayek, Vincent Cassel, Toby Jones, John C Reilly, Shirley Henderson) – Movie Review
Co-writer/director Matteo Garrone’s ravishing and often-exhilarating English-language début brilliantly interweaves three Grimm-style adult fairy tales of kings and queens – and monsters! (1) Salma Hayek plays the Queen of Longtrellis who forfeits the life of her husband the […]
The Big Show ** (1961, Esther Williams, Cliff Robertson, Robert Vaughn, Margia Dean, Nehemiah Persoff, David Nelson) – Classic Movie Review 3400

Director Robert Young’s 1972 Hammer Films British chiller Vampire Circus is a neat, eerie and attractively strange Hammer horror about a 19th-century touring circus show, whose performers are vampires, able to break through the black […]
At the Circus *** (1939, Groucho Marx, Chico Marx, Harpo Marx, Kenny Baker, Margaret Dumont, Eve Arden, Florence Rice) – Classic Movie Review 3063
Director Edward Buzzell’s fairly enjoyable 1939 comedy was a turning point for the Marx Brothers, who, ten years after their first feature in 1929 (The Cocoanuts), seem to be starting to coast with this film. At the […]
The Circus **** (1928, Charles Chaplin, Merna Kennedy, Allan Garcia) – Classic Movie Review 2534
Writer-producer-director-star Charles Chaplin’s 1928 silent movie is both funny and delightful. Once again he takes on his familiar persona as the Tramp, hiding out from the police in a circus, where he soon falls for […]
