This is a fine movie. Watching Peter Ustinov play Poirot is always a
treat.
The dialogue between him and Hastings provides adequate humor. And the
Agatha Christie whodunit puzzle is fairly good.The film suffers though when compared to two previous Ustinov films:
"Death
On The Nile", and "Evil Under The Sun", both of which were grand and
stately

How can I begin to describe this amazing film? Random images pop into
my head from memory... Tony Curtis as a dashing fortune-teller and
huckster, prancing around his San Francisco bachelor pad wearing a
sorcerer's outfit... one of his elderly female clients being possessed
by an Indian spirit and being tossed down a flight of stairs... (you
don't even need the pause button to ...

The Count of Monte Cristo as well as The Man in the Iron Mask were both
made for television in the mid to late 1970s and starred the talented
Richard Chamberlain. Yet, because they were originally made for TV,
they seem to have vanished and I haven't seen either on TV since the
early 1980s (though I did copy them to now worn out videotapes). It's a
real shame, as they were firs...

Although "It's A Mad, Mad, Mad, Mad World" was the first comedy to get the
epic film treatment, "The Great Race" is in my opinion the best epic comedy.
It's just a much funnier film with so many laughs in its first half that
the more serious part dealing with the palace intrigues and the straight
sword fight acts more as a breather for the viewer before it revs up again
with t...

As with most movies from a different era, the attitudes are quite
different. Feminists would hate this movie, if they saw it today.
Hollywood would never make it now in first place, unless roles were
reversed and men were made to look like sex objects. That would meet PC
double standards.Nonetheless, agendas aside, there is a lot of good humor in here; the
story is interesting,...

Admittedly biased, "Some Like It Hot" can certainly stand on its own merit
with or without my thunderous round of applause. More than a decade ago, I
had the privilege of performing both the Tony Curtis and Jack Lemmon roles
in "Sugar," the musical adaptation of "Some Like It Hot" which originally
starred Tony Roberts, Robert Morse and Elaine Joyce on Broadway in the 70s.

This movie is guaranteed to set the pulses of any red blooded viewer
racing.It pulsates with vibrant action and splendid period atmosphere; Kirk
Douglas was born to play the role of Einar and he extracts every bit of
menace and finally pathos as a warrior whose love for the wrong woman
finally destroyed him.Tony Curtis shows restraint in his role and is free of
the too eager to...

Sidney Poitier continues to break race barriers with this formula
jail-break drama. Teamed with Tony Curtis, the escaped prisoners
encounter many situations, where their difference in color seems to
matter more than the fact that both are fugitives from the law.
Throughout the film, the viewer empathizes with the escapees, figuring
that they always got a bum deal in life. A sce...

the lives of hundreds of American troops. He's accompanied on the mission by

To my mind, this is the best knights of olde movie ever made. Years ago it
was the habit of British tv station BBC2 to have a movie on at 6pm most
evenings and they were usually, either 40 & 50's westerns, historical
yarns,
melodramas or swashbucklers. One such film was The Black Shield of
Falworth,
I was a big fan of such films like The Vikings (Incidentally or
