Review of Scorpio (1973)

By Michael Wilmington (1,474) for Los Angeles Times (12,977) on 03 Nov 1974

Review of Shaft (1971)

By Michael Wilmington (1,474) for Chicago Tribune (6,211) on 12 Nov 1973

By Michael Wilmington (1,474) for Chicago Tribune (6,211) on 03 May 1973

The lead character has been aptly renamed Walker, and, as played by Marvin in what may be the actor’s most emblematic performance, he strides…

Review of On Dangerous Ground (1951)

By Michael Wilmington (1,474) for Chicago Tribune (6,211) on 18 Jan 1973

Review of West Side Story (1961)

By Michael Wilmington (1,474) for Chicago Tribune (6,211) on 10 Sep 1971

West Side Story has a nonpareil set of songs and dances, with ecstatic, exuberant, wonderful music by Leonard Bernstein and witty or heart-tearing…

Review of National Velvet (1945)

By Michael Wilmington (1,474) for Chicago Tribune (6,211) on 26 Aug 1971

Indeed, in its simple comprehension of the faith and affection of youth it is likely more tender and affecting than even the story of Lassie…

Review of Spellbound (1945)

By Michael Wilmington (1,474) for Chicago Tribune (6,211) on 25 May 1971

Not to be speechless about it, David O. Selznick has a rare film in Spellbound…

Review of Pride and Prejudice (1940)

By Michael Wilmington (1,474) for Chicago Tribune (6,211) on 28 Oct 1970

Review of Ride the High Country (1962)

By Michael Wilmington (1,474) for Los Angeles Times (12,977) on 29 Jul 1970

Some of the hallmarks of Peckinpah's style—most notably the moving POV shots, quick cuts, and off-center close-ups—manifest even in the…

Review of Jailhouse Rock (1957)

By Michael Wilmington (1,474) for Chicago Tribune (6,211) on 04 Jul 1970

Review of Father of the Bride (1950)

By Michael Wilmington (1,474) for Los Angeles Times (12,977) on 16 Mar 1970

Review of The Magician (1959)
