Staircase ½ (1969, Richard Burton, Rex Harrison) – Classic Movie Review 2972
Producer-director Stanley Donen’s shameful 1969 effort is a ghastly, dated and embarrassing film version of Charles Dyer’s 1966 two-hander stage play. Two of the acting profession’s most celebrated heterosexual movie stars, Richard Burton and Rex […]

Cupcakes (2013, Anat Waxman, Ofer Shechter) – Movie Review
Co-writer/director Eytan Fox’s nostalgia-minded tale is a gloriously cute, camp and charming comedy that takes a Eurovision-style song contest as its starting point and delivers lots of laughs, one or two tears, some very daft […]
Victim ***** (1961, Dirk Bogarde, Sylvia Syms, Peter McEnery, Dennis Price, John Barrie) – Classic Movie Review 606
