Review of Imitation of Life (1959)

By Eileen M (98) on 18 Aug 2007

Soapy fun. Turner is just bearable but Moore is a paradigm of self-sacrificing motherhood…

Review of Fear of Fear (1975)

By Eileen M (98) on 18 Aug 2007

Fassbinder reworks All That Heaven Allows in his own unique way. Mira is astonishingly good…

Review of La Strada (1954)

By Eileen M (98) on 18 Aug 2007

This would be good for a Fellini neophyte, a lovely story with emotional payoff. Masina is beatific…

Review of The Postman Always Rings Twice (1946)

By Eileen M (98) on 18 Aug 2007

I love film noir, Cain adaptations, and Hume Cronyn, but this is pretty tame stuff. Not bad for a late night movie…

Review of The Virgin Spring (1960)

By Eileen M (98) on 17 Aug 2007

Devastating is too light a word for this one…

Review of Wild Man Blues (1997)

By Eileen M (98) on 17 Aug 2007

Entertaining but for an Allen fan like me, ultimately disappointing as he comes across as uninteresting and sullen…

Review of Gentlemen Prefer Blondes (1953)

By Eileen M (98) on 17 Aug 2007

Monroe can be hard to take sometimes, but she's a delight here! Jane Russell is sexy and witty…

Review of Play It Again, Sam (1972)

By Eileen M (98) on 17 Aug 2007

A sweet romantic comedy, film junkie fun for an uneventful Sunday afternoon…

Review of The Lady from Shanghai (1947)

By Eileen M (98) on 17 Aug 2007

A lesser Welles offering made worthwhile by odd characterisations and of course the famed hall of mirrors sequence…

Review of Holiday Inn (1942)

By Eileen M (98) on 17 Aug 2007

Superior to White Christmas. Dated but charming…

Review of Love and Death (2013)

By Eileen M (98) on 17 Aug 2007

My favourite of his comedies. Skip his latest stuff please but make sure you see this one…

Review of Broadway Danny Rose (1984)

By Eileen M (98) on 17 Aug 2007

A sadly unknown Allen classic, maybe his best. It also convinced me of Mia Farrow's talent…

Review of The Big Clock (1948)

By Eileen M (98) on 17 Aug 2007

One of my favourite little noirs, and Lanchester manages to steal the entire movie from a solid cast…

Review of The Front (1976)

By Eileen M (98) on 17 Aug 2007

A very touching, little-known film about McCarthyism and blacklisted artists…

Review of Autumn Sonata (1978)

By Eileen M (98) on 17 Aug 2007

A harsh study of an estranged mother and daughter. Ingrid Bergman is quite unlike anything you've seen her play prior, and very, very good…

Review of The Petrified Forest (1973)

By Eileen M (98) on 17 Aug 2007

A shame Howard is best known for GWTW, as here he displays some real screen presence. Davis is remarkably restrained…

Review of Salesman (1969)

By Eileen M (98) on 17 Aug 2007

Grey Gardens is better known (and my personal favourite), but this is probably the Maysles' best documentary…

Review of Bullets Over Broadway (1994)

By Eileen M (98) on 17 Aug 2007

Probably Allen's last great film. Palminteri and Wiest are standouts but the entire cast is wonderful…
