Design for Living *** (1933, Fredric March, Gary Cooper, Miriam Hopkins) – Classic Movie Review 5419
Noël Coward’s enjoyably ambiguous ménage à trois play gets the famous golden touch from producer-director Ernst Lubitsch, in this light-hearted, fairly sparkling 1933 movie version of a great sophisticated night in the theatre. The star […]
Bunny Lake Is Missing **** (1965, Laurence Olivier, Carol Lynley, Keir Dullea, Noël Coward, Martita Hunt, Finlay Currie, Clive Revill, Anna Massey) – Classic Movie Review 5001
You don’t get many films billed as ‘ A conspiracy of madness’ but here it is. Producer-director Otto Preminger’s 1965 crafty and engrossing mystery crime thriller Bunny Lake Is Missing comes from the pens of […]
The Astonished Heart *** (1950, Celia Johnson, Noël Coward, Margaret Leighton, Graham Payn, Joyce Carey) – Classic Movie Review 3049
One of Noël Coward’s Tonight at 8:30 collection of 10 short plays (like Still Life that became Brief Encounter) looks thin and exposed in director Terence Fisher’s poorly directed, sluggish 1950 screen version. It fails […]
Easy Virtue **** (2008, Jessica Biel, Ben Barnes, Colin Firth, Kristin Scott Thomas, Kris Marshall) – Classic Movie Review 3034
Co-writer/director Stephan Elliott’s delightful and highly amusing 2008 adaptation of gay playwright Noël Coward’s witty early play stars Ben Barnes and Colin Firth, who were reunited in 2009’s Dorian Gray. This time, they are father […]
Easy Virtue *** (1928, Isabel Jeans, Franklin Dyall, Eric Bransby Williams, Robin Irvine, Ian Hunter) – Classic Movie Review 2287
‘Virtue is its own reward’ they say — but ‘easy virtue’ is society’s reward for a slandered reputation. Director Alfred Hitchcock’s 1928 romantic film is a rather unsatisfactory silent movie of Noël Coward’s interesting 1924 […]
Cavalcade **** (1933, Diana Wynyard, Clive Brook, Una O’Connor) – Classic Movie Review 2215
Director Frank Lloyd’s 1933 drama Cavalcade is a creaky but still entertaining and stirring nostalgic movie version of Noël Coward’s sentimental English patriotic pageant stage play. It was a three-Oscar winner, for Best Picture, Best Director […]
Our Man in Havana **** (1959, Alec Guinness, Noël Coward, Maureen O’Hara, Burl Ives) – Classic Movie Review 1808
Director Carol Reed’s 1959 thriller finds the ideal fit in Alec Guinness, who is perfectly cast as Jim Wormold, the meek vacuum cleaner salesman in Havana, in this delightful film of one of Graham Greene’s […]
