Arrangement The (1969) – full review!

August 29, 2014 // 0 Comments

Arrangement The (1969) – full review! It’s ironic that Kirk Douglas’s frequent co-star Burt Lancaster starred in a similar drama about a corporate executive’s mid-life crisis (the origins of this term now used frequently for such men?) one year earlier titled The Swimmer (1968). Both films are unusual introspective and lack wide appeal the latter being superior to this overlong melodrama that was based on the popular [...]

Becky Sharp (1935)

August 29, 2014 // 0 Comments

Becky Sharp (1935) Directed by Rouben Mamoulian with a screenplay by Francis Edward Faragoh (Little Caesar (1931)) this drama is noteworthy for two things: it features Miriam Hopkins’s only Oscar nominated performance (Best Actress) she plays the title role; and it’s the first features length 3-strip Technicolor film which looks it despite a restoration. Other than that it’s a terribly dated drama about a sassy [...]
