Review of Ill Met by Moonlight (1957)

Review of Hobson's Choice (1954)

By Mfb Critics (133) for Monthly Film Bulletin (149) on 01 Feb 2018

Hobson's Choice is unmistakably the work of a craftsman; but an over-elaborate pursuit of effects, alien to the tone of the play, cannot but…

Review of Heavens Above! (1963)

By Mfb Critics (133) for Monthly Film Bulletin (149) on 31 Jan 2018

Review of The Face of Fu Manchu (1965)

By Mfb Critics (133) for Monthly Film Bulletin (149) on 31 Jan 2018

Review of The Gorgon (1964)

By Mfb Critics (133) for Monthly Film Bulletin (149) on 31 Jan 2018

The Gorgon myth does not fit happily into Transylvanian surroundings, and there are too many red-herrings indicative of the script's straining…
