Based on the novel by Mary O’Hara, director Louis King’s colourful 1948 slice of Americana about two families who are rivals in trotting horse racing is cute and charming. The big white stallion Thunderhead causes problems for the […]

Director Martin Ritt’s 1967 Western is a tense, intelligent, suspenseful movie, only maybe a little bit too obviously message-strewn for its own good. It reunites the star, the director, the writers and cinematographer of the 1963 triumph […]
