Reap the Wild Wind **** (1942, Ray Milland, Paulette Goddard, John Wayne, Raymond Massey, Robert Preston) – Classic Movie Review 6609

The Arrangement ** (1969, Kirk Douglas, Faye Dunaway, Deborah Kerr) – Classic Movie Review 6168

Writer-director Elia Kazan’s really tedious 1969 think-in romantic drama movie comes from his period of sharp decline. And, try hard though they do, it is not among the distinguished stars’ most glorious moments. Kirk Douglas […]
