Witness for the Prosecution *** (1982, Ralph Richardson, Deborah Kerr, Beau Bridges, Donald Pleasence, Wendy Hiller, Diana Rigg) – Classic Movie Review 5560
Director Alan Gibson and writer John Gay’s feebler but still quite involving and amusing 1982 TV movie version of Agatha Christie’s ingenious but creaky London-set courtroom thriller, memorably first filmed as Witness for the Prosecution […]

Gaby * (1956, Leslie Caron, John Kerr, Cedric Hardwicke) – Classic Movie Review 5426

Waterloo Bridge **** (1940, Vivien Leigh, Robert Taylor, Lucile Watson) – Classic Movie Review 5422
Director Mervyn LeRoy’s 1940 vintage black and white MGM romance Waterloo Bridge is a sweet, tear-jerking winner, although it cries out for Technicolor when Joseph Ruttenberg shoots it in black and white. Though Vivien Leigh […]
