Waterloo Bridge **** (1931, Mae Clarke, Douglass Montgomery, Doris Lloyd) – Classic Movie Review 5421
Director James Whale’s 1931 Universal Pictures vintage romance is the first of three versions of Robert E Sherwood’s play, which made good movies but had a disappointingly short run on the Broadway stage. Kent Douglass […]
The Promise **½ (2016, Oscar Isaac, Charlotte Le Bon, Christian Bale) – Movie Review
Co-writer/ director Terry George’s costly-looking, beautifully shot movie is an old-style historical epic, an ambitious and good hearted but inevitably depressing look at the now little-known story of the Armenian genocide by the Turks, during the last […]
Mata Hari, Agent H21 *** (1964, Jeanne Moreau, Jean-Louis Trintignant, Claude Rich, Frank Villard, Albert Rémy, Georges Riquier, Henri Garcin) – Classic Movie Review 3562

Night and Day *** (1946, Cary Grant, Alexis Smith, Monty Woolley, Mary Martin, Jane Wyman, Dorothy Malone, Eve Arden, Ginny Simms) – Classic Movie Review 3088
Cary Grant was not happy while making the intriguing though flawed 1946 Cole Porter musical biopic Night and Day, clashing often with director Michael Curtiz, mostly over a ‘weak script with lousy characterisations’. With rumours […]
War Horse **** (2011, Jeremy Irvine, Emily Watson, David Thewlis, Tom Hiddleston, Benedict Cumberbatch, Eddie Marsan, Toby Kebbell, David Kross, Peter Mullan) – Classic Movie Review 3048
Steven Spielberg’s solidly crafted 2011 British-American war drama War Horse is a guaranteed heart-tugger, with a decent screenplay by Lee Hall and Richard Curtis adapting Michael Morpurgo’s 1982 children’s novel set around World War One. […]
