Words and Music *** (1948, Mickey Rooney, Judy Garland, Tom Drake, June Allyson, Janet Leigh, Betty Garrett, Ann Sothern, Perry Como) – Classic Movie Review 3622
Director Norman Taurog’s 1948 movie is a fictionalised musical bioipc, very loosely based on the creative partnership of the composer Richard Rodgers (Tom Drake) and lyricist Lorenz Hart (Mickey Rooney). A lavish showcasing of the Rodgers and Hart catalogue of […]
The Fog * (1980, Adrienne Barbeau, Jamie Lee Curtis, Janet Leigh, John Houseman, Hal Holbrook, Tom Atkins, Nancy Loomis, Charles Cyphers) – Classic Movie Review 2969
Director John Carpenter, who had just done horror so brilliantly with Assault on Precinct 13 (1976) and Halloween (1978), comes up with this feeble, daft and unconvincing 1980 spook chiller. In Carpenter’s screenplay, written with Debra Hill, […]
The Naked Spur ***** (1953, James Stewart, Janet Leigh, Robert Ryan, Ralph Meeker, Millard Mitchell) – Classic Movie Review 2049
The Naked Spur (1953) is the third and perhaps finest of James Stewart’s series of richly satisfying Westerns with director Anthony Mann. It is lifted to the highest rank of Westerns by the Oscar-nominated script […]

Director Jack Smight’s hard-boiled 1966 detective-mystery thriller casts Paul Newman in an ideal guise as Lew Harper, an archetypal Los Angeles mean streets private eye, who is hired by the rich, wounded and woeful Mrs […]
Prince Valiant **** (1954, Robert Wagner, James Mason, Janet Leigh, Debra Paget) – Classic Movie Review 1301
Three cheers for director Henry Hathaway’s vividly realized, brilliantly colourful 1954 sword-fighting historical adventure extravaganza. It stars a marvellous, on-form cast in Robert Wagner as a fresh-faced Viking Prince Valiant, James Mason as the villainous […]
Halloween H20: 20 Years Later *** (1998, Jamie Lee Curtis, Josh Hartnett, Adam Arkin) – Classic Movie Review 649
The seventh Halloween movie from 1998 sees Jamie Lee Curtis back as Laurie Strode for the first time since Halloween 2 in 1981 to celebrate the original Halloween movie’s 20th birthday. As you no doubt […]
The Manchurian Candidate ***** (1962, Frank Sinatra, Laurence Harvey, Janet Leigh, Angela Lansbury) – Classic Movie Review 239
This dazzling, brilliant Sixties conspiracy political thriller from 1962 is cleverly adapted by George Axelrod from Richard Condon’s famous novel. The Manchurian Candidate won no Oscars but it’s now legendary, thanks to its ingenious plot […]
