Despite what one reviewer states here, 1984 is an extremely important
literary work. It explains to the reader what the ultimate facist state
would be like. This story is never more important than now, with the world
in crisis. It is an absolute must that people read or see 1984. Other films
have been made about fascism. One of the most notable examples being Pier
Pasolini's Sa...

It is not often a producer has the chance to thank his critics in this
form. I do so now. The blood-sweat and tears that went into the making
of THE WILD GEESE is all forgotten. Appreciation of one's endeavors of
some 25 years ago, thanks to DVD, is gratefully received. The Zone 1
version is yet to appear, the lateness due to sloppy distribution. To
answer questions about the f...

A rare and masterful adaptation of a piercing psychological stage drama. An
emotionally unstable young man trying to come to terms with his love and
erotic attraction as well as religious like worship of horses. Absolutely
gripping!I remember when I saw this on stage, reading in the program, that the

Peter Schafer was traveling through the English countryside when he

A great play by Maxwell Anderson, history, a wonderful cast,
magnificent production values and 10 "Oscar" nominations. What more
could you ask for. Producer Hal Wallis assembled some of Great
Britain's greatest talent at the time, and it shows.Richard Burton has the role of a lifetime and he is great. His Henry
VIII wants a male heir and his eyes are set on Anne. He is randy, r...

Epic war pic where Richard Burton and Clint Eastwood manage to unmask most
of the German spy network in England, slip Jerry the wrong plans for the
second front, kill the leading members of the Abwehr in Southern Bavaria,
and destroy half of the local Wehrmacht- all in a little over two hours.
Terrific score by Ron Goodwin, great action sequences and a commanding
performance b...

This is a film version of a Shakespeare play the way Shakespeare would
have
wanted it to be seen - as funny and entertaining. The gorgeous colour in
the sets and costumes reminds us that this story is taking place in sunny
Italy - maybe it takes an Italian director to realize and bring out that
light-hearted joyfulness. The actors are all wonderful, so natural in

This is still an exceptional film from the 1960s. Though some of the
epithets are obviously softening much stronger words, the language is
frank
and brutal, Martha's bludgeoning body-blows balanced by George's icepick
thrusts. Edward Lehman's respectful screenplay gently opens up Edward
Albee's one-set play while keeping a certain claustrophobic atmosphere.

The tale of Thomas Becket has had many incarnations over time. T.S.
Eliot's 'Murder in the Cathedral' is but the most recent acclaimed
literary treatment; each revisitation seems to draw new elements forth
from the story. Edward Anhalt won the Oscar for best screenplay

First, you must understand the nature of Night of the Iguana. The story
centers on Shannon (Burton), a life-long preacher caught in a
philosophical
crisis. His humanity clashes with his theology and leaves havoc in its
wake.
Removed from his position in a quiet Texas community after an affair with
an
underage girl, he takes a job in Puerto Vallarta as the tour guide for...

Fritz Lang's Metropolis is rightly regarded as a classic, but many
reviews make note of the 'illogical' story and bad character plotting.
Characters come and go without rhyme or reason, and the plot makes no
sense, they say. Well, yes, but that's not Fritiz's fault, nor the
movie's; Metropolis makes little sense because 55 minutes of the film
was hacked out and destroyed, never...

I'm old enough to have seen this epic when it was first released and,
even as a nine year old, I was impressed. It was the great Daryl
Zanuck's last hurrah and a fitting one (not his last film - just his
last worthwhile film). This is a great film. It's not perfect but its faults are few and
minor. For me the most glaring fault is the amateurish delivery by the
actor (a near ri...

Thankfully now available in its full 103-minute version, this is one of
Nicholas Ray's strongest works and one of the handful that doesn't bear
the marks of studio meddling. It's an unrelentingly grim tale of
cowardice and lost love which is almost incidentally set during WWII.
Richard Burton manages to deliver cutting, pointed dialogue without
making it hammy, and Curt Jurgens...

This is my pick for Easter. Almost all the objections and criticisms to
this film can be waved away with the not so simple explanation that it
is, after all, only a Hollywood studio (1953) adaptation of a Lloyd C.
Douglas novel. So forgive the clich...

Before Australia and New Zealand were threatened with attack on the
home front, they sent as they did in the First World War, an
expeditionary force to help Great Britain protect the Suez Canal, the
lifeline of the British Empire. Aussies and Kiwis made a great deal of
the army that General Wavell was commanding from Cairo. They have always had a reputation as an informal people an...
