The Young Philadelphians *** (1959, Paul Newman, Barbara Rush, Alexis Smith, Brian Keith, Billie Burke, John Williams, Otto Kruger, Robert Vaughn) – Classic Movie Review 4637
Director Vincent Sherman’s soapy 1959 novel-to-film transfer The Young Philadelphians is trashy but very polished and compulsive, with a lot of plot to fill the long 136 minute running time. It was nominated for three […]
