Othello **** (1965, Laurence Olivier, Frank Finlay, Maggie Smith, Joyce Redman, Derek Jacobi, Michael Gambon) – Classic Movie Review 3,339
Stage director John Dexter’s legendary acclaimed Chichester Festival and National Theatre of Great Britain production of Othello is plainly transferred to film by director Stuart Burge, but it is nevertheless a compelling experience. It records […]
The Hunchback of Notre Dame *** (1982, Anthony Hopkins, Lesley-Anne Down, Derek Jacobi, John Gielgud, Robert Powell, David Suchet) – Classic Movie Review 2667
Taking a trick or two out of Charles Laughton’s book, Anthony Hopkins greatly impresses as the hunchback Notre Dame Cathedral bellringer Quasimodo in director Michael Tuchner’s lavish, starry and highly entertaining 1982 British-based TV movie […]

Henry V **** (1989, Kenneth Branagh, Derek Jacobi, Judi Dench, Emma Thompson) – Classic Movie Review 2092
Director Kenneth Branagh’s gritty 1989 film version of the play by William Shakespeare is a labour of love and a tour de force. Branagh, in his directorial debut, received Oscar nominations for Best Actor and […]
Hamlet *** (1996, Kenneth Branagh, Kate Winslet, Julie Christie) – Classic Movie Review 1295
Writer-director-star Kenneth Branagh’s long, lively, faithful and intelligent 1996 version of the Shakespeare play is lit up with rousing performances from a lovely array of memorable actors. It’s a respectful, rewarding experience with outstanding work […]
Grace of Monaco ** (2014, Nicole Kidman, Tim Roth) – Movie Review
Grace of Monaco is not devoid of interest but it is a drab mess, with an oddly blank Nicole Kidman and a weirdly brooding Tim Roth both hopelessly miscast both as physical and character types as […]
