Flight Angels ** (1940, Virginia Bruce, Dennis Morgan, Wayne Morris, Ralph Bellamy Jane Wyman) – Classic Movie Review 10,075
Director Lewis Seiler’s 1940 Flight Angels offers good nostalgia for wartime flying, pre-war in America’s case, and these are the brisk, cheery stewardesses (Jane Wyman, Virginia Bruce) and capable, brave pilots (Dennis Morgan, Wayne Morris) […]
Bottoms Up *** (1960, Jimmy Edwards, Arthur Howard, Martita Hunt) – Classic Movie Review 9700
Director Mario Zampi’s daftly entertaining 1960 British comedy Bottoms Up! stars Jimmy Edwards as the irrepressible and incorrigible Professor Jim Edwards, dodgy headmaster of Chiselbury School, and he brightens this rather creaky, over-extended big-screen adaptation […]

Co-writer/ director Claire Denis’s 1996 Nenette and Boni [Nénette et Boni] is a difficult, edgy, sometimes un-realised picture, with some good scenes and dialogue as well as a couple of persuasive, even attractive, star performances […]

The beloved 1980 Scottish comedy classic Gregory’s Girl gets a belated sequel in Bill Forsyth’s 1999 romantic comedy Gregory’s 2 Girls [Gregory’s Two Girls], with Gregory (John Gordon Sinclair) now a gangly English teacher, back […]
Little Men ** (1934, Ralph Morgan, Erin O’Brien-Moore, Junior Durkin, Frankie Darro, Dickie Moore) – Classic Movie Review 9213
Louisa May Alcott’s novel (a semi-sequel to Little Women), gets a reasonable if undistinguished film treatment that eventually goes overboard on slush and gets way too heart tugging in director Phil Rosen’s 1934 film Little Men, […]
Spare the Rod *** (1961, Max Bygraves, Donald Pleasence, Geoffrey Keen) – Classic Movie Review 9174
Director Leslie Norman’s socially aware 1961 black and white film drama Spare the Rod is a sympathetic, involving exposé of the tough life in the British state schools of the day, with Donald Pleasence as […]
