The Outrage ** (1964, Paul Newman, Laurence Harvey, Claire Bloom, Edward G Robinson, William Shatner) – Classic Movie Review 6355
Though by no means an outrage, director Martin Ritt’s 1964 Western is a misguided attempt to relocate Akira Kurosawa’s 1950 Japanese classic Rashomon to the American Southwest in the 1870s, with four people telling their widely […]

Director Alfred E Green’s smart and amusing 1935 drama features excellent work from its star Bette Davis and nimble, fast-paced handling from the director, which help to lift this entertaining soap opera in which Davis […]

Writer-director Peter Hyams’s 2009 crime thriller is a reasonable, if unremarkable, remake of Fritz Lang’s cultish vintage 1956 film noir Beyond a Reasonable Doubt. This time Jesse Metcalfe (John Tucker Must Die) stars as frustrated TV reporter […]
The Fiend Who Walked the West ** (1958, Hugh O’Brian, Dolores Michaels, Robert Evans, Edward Andrews, Linda Cristal, Stephen McNally, Ron Ely) – Classic Movie Review 6086
Director Gordon Douglas’s 1958 film The Fiend Who Walked the West is a full-blooded Western reworking of ideas from the 1947 Kiss of Death, with Robert Evans going enjoyably over the top as a psychotic murderer […]
Young at Heart **** (1954, Doris Day, Frank Sinatra, Ethel Barrymore, Gig Young, Dorothy Malone, Robert Keith, Elizabeth Fraser, Alan Hale Jr) – Classic Movie Review 6083
‘Fairy tales can come true, it could happen to you…’ Sinatra stars as songwriter Barney Sloan, who romances New England maiden Laurie Tuttle (Doris Day), in director Gordon Douglas’s highly appealing, attractive 1954 musical remake […]
