The Big Heat (1953) 95% EDIT “About the opening sequence of The Big Heat, there is a smoothness, a fluency of expression that grips the imagination. It reflects the intensely personal style of the film's director, Fritz Lang.” – The Age (Australia) Mar 28, 2024 Full Review Stalag 17 (1953) 91% EDIT “The cast is uniformly good and the balance between humor and suspense is always well maintained.” – The Age (Australia) Nov 4, 2022 Full Review Rear Window (1954) 99% EDIT “This is a neat plot, which allows Hitchcock to pile on the tension and keep us sitting on the edge of our seat as the story unfolds crisply, not without a good leavening of humor to contrast with the grisly theme.” – The Age (Australia) Jun 8, 2021 Full Review On the Waterfront (1954) 99% EDIT “No other country could have made On the Waterfront, this latest achievement by the actor-director team of Marlon Brando and Elia Kazan. You could almost call it an epitome of America. It is brash, high-powered and technically faultless.” – The Age (Australia) Apr 8, 2021 Full Review The Hitch-Hiker (1953) 94% EDIT “Talman's portrayal of evil incarnate is a finely sustained performance that is bound to assault the nerves of even the hardest-bitten film-goer.” – The Age (Australia) Feb 24, 2021 Full Review From Here to Eternity (1953) 88% EDIT “It is not a pretty picture, with its drunkenness, brawls, illicit affairs, bullyings and subservience to rank, but it is a true picture, and that is what matters most.” – The Age (Australia) Feb 4, 2020 Full Review
