Director Charles Vidor’s delicious and delightful 1944 musical showcases Rita Hayworth, who begins her reign as Columbia Pictures’ biggest star, top billed in every film from Cover Girl till Pal Joey in 1957. It was one […]
Strike Up the Band ***½ (1940, Judy Garland, Mickey Rooney, Paul Whiteman and Orchestra, June Preisser, William Tracy, Larry Nunn) – Classic Movie Review 3611
Director Busby Berkeley’s pleasing 1940 musical is a pleasant re-run for the talented team from Babes in Arms (1939), keeping only George Gershwin’s title song from his 1928 Broadway show. In a supposedly new story that […]

The Quick and the Dead *** (1995, Sharon Stone, Gene Hackman, Leonardo DiCaprio, Russell Crowe) – Classic Film Review 1223
Director Sam Raimi’s entertaining, if patchy, very violent 1995 black-comedy Western spoofs the style and themes of Sergio Leone’s spaghetti Westerns. It stars Sharon Stone as you never saw her before as Ellen, a leather-clad […]
