Director Edmund Goulding’s 1946 black and white film of W Somerset Maugham’s novel Of Human Bondage has the misfortune to follow director John Cromwell’s much more exciting 1934 version of Of Human Bondage with the […]
Charlie’s Angels * (2019, Kristen Stewart, Naomi Scott, Ella Balinska) – Movie Review
Charlie’s Angels (2019) is empty-headed adventure comedy hokum, with Kristen Stewart, Naomi Scott, Ella Balinska and Elizabeth Banks all pleasant presences and working hard enough but to little avail. They are chasing after some ludicrous […]

Director Edward Killy’s 1945 Western movie West of the Pecos is another film lifted by its stars Robert Mitchum and Barbara Hale, and its stalwart cast, but also by Killy’s brisk, competent, no-nonsense direction. RKO […]
Man of La Mancha * (1972, Peter O’Toole, Sophia Loren, James Coco, Harry Andrews, John Castle, Brian Blessed, Ian Richardson, Julie Gregg, Rosalie Crutchley) – Classic Movie Review 8766
The all-time great hit Broadway musical play by Dale Wasserman about Don Quixote becomes an unhappy film musical in producer-director Arthur Hiller’s 1972 Man of La Mancha because it is miscast and misconceived and the […]
