Husbands **** (1970, Peter Falk, John Cassavetes, Ben Gazzara, Jenny Runacre) – Classic Movie Review 5729
Writer-director-star John Cassavetes’s intelligent and thoughtful epic 1970 film account of three buddies, Harry (Ben Gazzara), Archie Black (Peter Falk) and Gus Demetri (Cassavetes), out on the razzle after a common friend’s sudden death, is a startlingly […]
The Loved One **** (1965, Robert Morse, John Gielgud, Rod Steiger, Liberace, Jonathan Winters, Anjanette Comer) – Classic Movie Review 5727
Director Tony Richardson turns Evelyn Waugh’s brilliant 1948 satirical novel on the funeral business and Californian burial rites into this funny and ferocious 1965 film farce by Hollywood. It is the golden opportunity for a […]

The Terence Davies Trilogy **** (1983, Phillip Mawdsley, Nick Stringer, Valerie Lilley, Terry O’Sullivan, Sheila Raynor, Wilfrid Brambell) – Classic Movie Review 5156
Writer-director Terence Davies’s outstanding first film is an impressive achievement in bleak memoir, cohering satisfyingly, though made up from three autobiographical short films made over a period of six years or so. The anthology film […]
That’s Your Funeral *** (1972, Bill Fraser, Raymond Huntley, David Battley) – Classic Movie Review 5082
Director John Robins’s 1972 British comedy is a drolly amusing movie spinoff from the TV sitcom of 1971, effectively exploiting both the black comedy inherent in the funerals business and its elderly stars’ comic brilliance. […]
