I Didn’t Do It **½ (1945, George Formby, Dennis Wyndham, Hilda Mundy, Gaston Palmer, Jack Daly, Carl Jaffe) – Classic Movie Review 3822
For this British comedy crime film, Marcel Varnel directs George Formby in 1945 – and fairly well and amusingly too, especially for a comedy from Formby’s period of decline. Formby stars as entertainer George Trotter who […]
Les Enfants du Paradis [Children of Paradise] ***** (1945, Arletty, Jean-Louis Barrault, Pierre Brasseur) – Classic Movie Review 3811
Director Marcel Carné’s glorious French 1945 epic romantic movie re-creates 1830s and 1840s Paris in an astounding studio production somehow conjured up during the wartime Occupation austerity of World War Two. This meant building what was then […]

Le Dernier Métro [The Last Metro] **** (1980, Gérard Depardieu, Catherine Deneuve, Heinz Bennent, Jean Poiret, Andrea Ferreol, Paulette Dubost, Sabine Haudepin) – Classic Movie Review 3021
Co-writer/director François Truffaut’s endearing1980 film is a fine tribute to the French theatre and the spirit of bravery and resistance. You can smell the greasepaint backstage and feel the mood of the wartime Nazi Occupation […]
Mrs Henderson Presents ***½ (2005, Judi Dench, Bob Hoskins, Kelly Reilly, Will Young, Toby Jones, Thelma Barlow, Christopher Guest) – Classic Movie Review 2977
