White Nights *** (1985, Mikhail Baryshnikov, Gregory Hines, Jerzy Skolimowski, Helen Mirren, Geraldine Page, Isabella Rossellini) – Classic Movie Review 10,750
Director Taylor Hackford’s 1985 movie White Nights is a daft but entertaining chase-dance drama, a peculiar hybrid of musical and thriller, giving good chances to players difficult to cast. Mikhail Baryshnikov charismatically plays a Russian […]

The Iron Petticoat ** (1956, Bob Hope, Katharine Hepburn, James Robertson Justice, Noelle Middleton, Robert Helpmann, David Kossoff) – Classic Movie Review 8,210
The bizarre and unexpected star teaming of Bob Hope and Katharine Hepburn fails to inject many laughs into director Ralph Thomas’s good-natured but slack Ninotchka-like 1956 comedy film The Iron Petticoat. Alas, the bizarre and […]
Little Nikita *** (1988, Sidney Poitier, River Phoenix, Richard Jenkins, Carolina Kava) – Classic Movie Review 4562
