Review of Street of Shame (1956)

By Bosley Crowther (448) for New York Times (5,786) on 25 Mar 2006

The late Kenji Mizoguchi, who directed Ugetsu, failed to show as much imagination in this one as in that one…

Review of All Through the Night (1942)

By Bosley Crowther (448) for New York Times (5,786) on 25 Mar 2006

In spite of its slap-bang construction and its hour-and-three-quarters length, the picture does move with precision and steadily maintained suspense…

Review of Orpheus (1950)

By Bosley Crowther (448) for New York Times (5,786) on 25 Mar 2006

Somnambulistic symbolism may be art for art's sake. Maybe not. This writer finds it slightly tiresome…

Review of I Was a Male War Bride (1949)

By Bosley Crowther (448) for New York Times (5,786) on 25 Mar 2006

The flimsiness of the film's foundations and the disorder of its episodes provoke the inevitable impression that it all fell together en route…

Review of Pickup on South Street (1953)

By Bosley Crowther (448) for New York Times (5,786) on 25 Mar 2006

Sam Fuller, who wrote it and directed, appears to have been more concerned with firing a barrage of sensations than with telling a story to…

Review of Winchester '73 (1950)

By Bosley Crowther (448) for New York Times (5,786) on 25 Mar 2006

A frisky, fast-moving, funny Western in which a rifle is the apple of a cowboy's eye…

Review of The Emperor Waltz (1948)

By Bosley Crowther (448) for New York Times (5,786) on 25 Mar 2006

Brackett and Wilder have made up with casualness and charm -- and with a great deal of clever sight-humor -- for the meagerness of the idea…

Review of We Were Strangers (1949)

By Bosley Crowther (448) for New York Times (5,786) on 25 Mar 2006

This very concentration upon detail and upon the concrete mechanics of the plan has thrown the whole drama into the character of a passionless…

Review of Waterloo Bridge (1931)

By Bosley Crowther (448) for New York Times (5,786) on 25 Mar 2006

Let there be no doubt about it. Vivien Leigh is as fine an actress as we have on the screen today. Maybe even the finest, and that's a lot to say…

Review of All Through the Night (2008)

By Bosley Crowther (448) for New York Times (5,786) on 25 Mar 2006

In spite of its slap-bang construction and its hour-and-three-quarters length, the picture does move with precision and steadily maintained suspense…

Review of Waterloo Bridge (1940)

By Bosley Crowther (448) for New York Times (5,786) on 25 Mar 2006

Miss Leigh shapes the role of the girl with such superb comprehension, progresses from the innocent, fragile dancer to an empty, bedizened…

Review of Act of Violence (1949)

By Bosley Crowther (448) for New York Times (5,786) on 25 Mar 2006

Technically Act of Violence touches all the bases in its circuit chase. But it is as though it were doing it on the strength of a long, foul ball…

Review of High Society (1955)

By Bosley Crowther (448) for New York Times (5,786) on 25 Mar 2006

High Society...is as flimsy as a gossip-columnist's word, especially when it is documenting the weird behavior of the socially elite…

Review of White Christmas (1954)

By Bosley Crowther (448) for New York Times (5,786) on 25 Mar 2006

Director Michael Curtiz has made his picture look good. It is too bad that it doesn't hit the eardrums and the funnybone with equal force…

Review of The Incredible Shrinking Man (1957)

By Bosley Crowther (448) for New York Times (5,786) on 25 Mar 2006

Unless a viewer is addicted to freakish ironies, the unlikely spectacle of Mr. Williams losing an inch of height each…

Review of The Girl Can't Help It (1956)

By Bosley Crowther (448) for New York Times (5,786) on 25 Mar 2006

Sure, the scenery is splashy and sporty in color and CinemaScope. But the show is as meager and witless as a cheap pin-up magazine joke…

Review of The Bad Seed (1956)

By Bosley Crowther (448) for New York Times (5,786) on 25 Mar 2006

Mervyn LeRoy, who produced and directed, has lost a great deal of the bite of the play…

Review of The Black Orchid (1959)

By Bosley Crowther (448) for New York Times (5,786) on 25 Mar 2006

Unfortunately, Joseph Stefano, who wrote the original script, did not put into the hands of the director a story that is up to Mr. Quinn…

Review of Penny Serenade (1941)

By Bosley Crowther (448) for New York Times (5,786) on 25 Mar 2006

If you are prone to easy weeping, you might even take along a washtub…

Review of The Curse of the Cat People (1944)

By Bosley Crowther (448) for New York Times (5,786) on 25 Mar 2006

It makes a rare departure from the ordinary run of horror films and emerges as an oddly touching study of the working of a sensitive child's mind…
