White Heat (1949) 94% EDIT “White Heat is a first-rate thriller. It is of an appalling violence.” – The Spectator Apr 22, 2024 Full Review The Caine Mutiny (1954) 95% EDIT “The Caine Mutiny is a finely rounded, compact piece of work, intelligently written, admirably acted and directed with the minimum of fuss.” – The Spectator Apr 19, 2024 Full Review Westward the Women (1951) 69% EDIT “It is strange that with so much going on in such novel conditions the film should be, for quite long periods, dull and flat.” – The Spectator Mar 7, 2024 Full Review Sunset Boulevard (1950) 98% EDIT “The direction is by Billy Wilder who did Lost Weekend, and it is superb -- detailed, evocative and absorbing. Hollywood, with its mania for success is sardonically observed and there are a hundred witty touches to enliven the general atmosphere of decay.” – London Evening Standard Oct 11, 2021 Full Review Reach for the Sky (1957) 80% EDIT “The subject, not the direction, is the remarkable fact about Reach for the Sky.” – The Spectator Aug 24, 2021 Full Review Lady Chatterley's Lover (1956) EDIT “The love scenes, to crown it all, are cold and unsatisfactory.” – The Spectator Aug 24, 2021 Full Review The Littlest Outlaw (1955) 85% EDIT “A pleasant little film about a horse, a boy, and a bullfight.” – The Spectator Aug 23, 2021 Full Review My Dream Is Yours (1949) EDIT “There is nothing really the matter with this technicolor musical except that it follows too exactly the formula laid down for all technicolor musicals.” – London Evening Standard May 26, 2021 Full Review The Undercover Man (1949) 60% EDIT “A sensible, short, moderately exciting and well constructed thriller.” – London Evening Standard May 26, 2021 Full Review Train of Events (1952) EDIT “The trouble with having so many characters and so many atmospheres is that one cannot get on friendly terms with or care very much what happens to any of them.” – London Evening Standard May 26, 2021 Full Review Film Without a Title (1948) EDIT “A delightful surprise.” – London Evening Standard May 26, 2021 Full Review Intruder in the Dust (1949) 93% EDIT “I found this film completely absorbing, and if I had the strength I would see it again.” – The Spectator Jan 28, 2021 Full Review The Man With the Golden Arm (1955) 81% EDIT “As the women in [Frankie's] life, Eleanor Parker, his neurotic crippled wife, and Kim Novak, who fights despairingly to save him, are wholly admirable. and the subsidiary parts are amply filled.” – The Spectator Dec 22, 2020 Full Review The Bad and the Beautiful (1952) 80% EDIT “If this is Hollywood with the lid off, the smell is not pleasant, but it is certainly powerful, and i strongly urge you to take a sniff.” – The Spectator Aug 31, 2020 Full Review I'll See You in My Dreams (1951) 67% EDIT “This story, as enacted by Mr. Danny Thomas and Miss Doris Day, is remarkable for its similarity to the life-histories of all the lyric-writers who have ever lived.” – The Spectator Jun 29, 2020 Full Review Carrie (1952) 75% EDIT “The direction, as might be expected, is as polished as ebony, occasionally lingering a little too long perhaps to suck the substance out of a scene, but never pausing to philosophise or preach. The story is told simply and well.” – The Spectator Jun 29, 2020 Full Review Lease of Life (1954) EDIT “Despite its many virtues, it lacks the essential factor, that of inspiring interest.” – The Spectator Jun 29, 2020 Full Review Untamed Frontier (1952) 17% EDIT “Though smoothly directed by Mr. Hugo Fregonese, it has little new to offer on the hoof situation.” – The Spectator May 8, 2020 Full Review Three Husbands (1950) EDIT “A disappointing film.” – The Spectator Apr 30, 2020 Full Review Montana (1950) EDIT “Though the film follows the accustomed lines of westerns, and though neither Mr. Flynn nor Miss Smith is anything out of the ordinary, the advent of sheep in a picture of this kind is so unusual that one can scarce refrain from feeling refreshed.” – The Spectator Apr 30, 2020 Full Review Rear Window (1954) 99% EDIT “The acting is impeccable. The novelty appealing. The climax thrilling. The length too long.” – The Spectator Apr 16, 2020 Full Review Winchester '73 (1950) 100% EDIT “I enjoyed every minute.” – The Spectator Apr 15, 2020 Full Review Born Yesterday (1950) 95% EDIT “Miss Holliday's slow awakening from near-imbecility to near-intelligence is certainly enchanting, and both Mr. Broderick Crawford's brashness and Mr. William Holden's shyness leave nothing to be desired.” – The Spectator Mar 23, 2020 Full Review The Rules of the Game (1939) 97% EDIT “Though pictorially it is very satisfying, M. Renoir has mixed high tragedy and low comedy.to such an extent that one is bewildered.” – The Spectator Feb 22, 2020 Full Review Pandora and the Flying Dutchman (1951) 68% EDIT “Oh the slowness of it all, the solemnity, the splendid tediousness of the sequences, the beautiful boring silences, the long, long looks of love!” – The Spectator Feb 21, 2020 Full Review
