Siege of the Saxons ** (1963, Ronald Lewis, Janette Scott, Ronald Howard, Mark Dignam, John Laurie) – Classic Movie Review 3650
Set in Arthurian times but with medieval England sets and style, director Nathan Juran’s low-budget 1963 British historical adventure is endearingly feeble, murky, cheap-looking. It extensively reuses footage, costumes and props from the 1954 Alan Ladd […]
The Black Knight *** (1954, Alan Ladd, Anthony Bushell, Peter Cushing, Patrick Troughton, Patricia Medina, Harry Andrews, André Morell, Laurence Naismith, John Laurie) – Classic Movie Review 3649
Alan Ladd came to Britain for a $1 million lowish-budget Camelot caper about modest sword-making blacksmith John, who disguises himself as a knight (The Black Knight) to try to win the hand of Lady Linet […]
Hamlet ***** (1948, Laurence Olivier, Jean Simmons, Eileen Herlie, Basil Sydney, Felix Aylmer, Stanley Holloway, John Laurie) – Classic Movie Review 3647

Devil Girl from Mars *** (1954, Patricia Laffan, Hugh McDermott, Hazel Court, Peter Reynolds, Adrienne Corri, Joseph Tomelty, John Laurie) – Classic Movie Review 3,123
‘Invasion from Outer Space!… Sights too weird to imagine! Destruction too monstrous to escape!’ However, this is the exotic and amazing Patricia Laffan’s finest hour in the movies. ‘Invasion from Outer Space!… Sights too weird […]
Laughter in Paradise **** (1951, Alastair Sim, Fay Compton, George Cole, Joyce Grenfell, Guy Middleton) – Classic Movie Review 2625
Producer-director Mario Zampi’s delightful 1951 British comedy is a minor classic, enshrining one of Alastair Sim’s most treasurable performances as a henpecked thriller writer and providing eagerly grabbed showcases for showy turns by some of […]
Juno and the Paycock *** (1929, Edward Chapman, Sara Allgood, Maire O’Neill, Kathleen O’Regan, John Laurie) – Classic Movie Review 2290
