Days of Wine and Roses **** (1962, Jack Lemmon, Lee Remick, Charles Bickford, Jack Klugman) – Classic Movie Review 4053
Director Blake Edwards’s 1962 drama is one of the cinema’s best films about the dangers of drink, perhaps second only to The Lost Weekend (1945). Jack Lemmon stars as clever but over-pressured advertising executive Joe Clay, who […]
Sands of Iwo Jima **** (1949, John Wayne, John Agar, Adele Mara, Forrest Tucker, Arthur Franz, Richard Jaeckel, Wally Cassel, Richard Webb, Julie Bishop) – Classic Movie Review 3183
Director Allan Dwan’s 1949 war movie Sands of Iwo Jima is a very free dramatisation of the World War Two Battle of Iwo Jima, in which more than 5,000 Americans lost their lives for a small […]

Greta Garbo (1905-1990) was huge news in the Thirties – the most famous female movie star and the Queen of Hollywood, the Angelina Jolie of her day. As a riposte to the ‘Garbo Talks!’ […]
City of God [Cidade de Deus] ***** (2002, Alexandre Rodrigues, Matheus Nachtergaele, Leandro Firmino, Alice Braga, Seu Jorge) – Classic Movie Review 1194
Director Fernando Meirelles’s 2002 classic is an extreme but absolutely brilliant and utterly nerve-wracking Brazilian thriller, in which two Rio boys, brought up together in the Sixties, fight it out on different sides of the […]
