Movies starring Vera Miles

The Charge at Feather River (1953)

95 mins     Western      

There are two notable things which are worth mentioning about "The Charge at Feather River" but before I get to them I will quickly mention the movie itself, a solid but not great western. There is not a lot wrong with it and...

The Searchers (1956)

119 mins     Adventure , Drama, Western      

The Searchers: John Wayne stars as Ethan Edwards in John Ford's western about a man's 5 year search for his niece (Natalie Wood) having been abducted by Comanches...

23 Paces to Baker Street (1956)

103 mins     Mystery, Thriller      

Everyone who watches "23 Paces to Baker Street" says the same thing, it is very Hitchcock like. From the styling through to the storyline director Henry Hathaway has crafted a movie which feels and looks like a Hitchcock movi...

The Wrong Man (1956)

105 mins     Crime, Drama      

Alfred Hitchcock frequently employed the theme of an innocent man accused of a crime he didn't commit often to great effect in his thrillers yet probably his best exploration of the theme came in a non-typical Hitchcock movie...

Psycho (1960)

104 mins     Drama, Horror, Mystery, Thriller      

Whilst there have been many influential horror movies made over the years there are two which are undoubtedly the most influential, John Carpenter's "Halloween" and Alfred Hitchcock's "Psycho". And in an amusing way it is Alf...

The Man Who Shot Liberty Valance (1962)

118 mins     Drama, Romance, Western      

"The Man Who Shot Liberty Valance" is often regarded as a great western and as such has all those components you would expect from a western, the gunfights, the tough cowboys, the stand offs but it has something more, a truly...

Hellfighters (1968)

121 mins     Action , Adventure      

As a John Wayne fan I like the "Hellfighters" but have to admit it is a movie which ends up seriously flawed by focusing on the wrong things. What I mean is here we have Wayne playing a fire fighter who tackles oil fire blaze...

Mission Batangas (1968)

100 mins     Action , Adventure , War      

Have you ever watched a movie which was so un-involving that shortly after it starts your mind starts to drift and you begin to think about all the other things you could be doing? That is unfortunately what happened to me wh...

Columbo: Lovely But Lethal (1973)

73 mins     Crime, Drama, Mystery, TV Movie      

I'm slowly working my way through old episodes of "Columbo" as many of them get shown as individual TV movie here in the UK. Now it doesn't take long to realise that the majority of "Columbo" was built around a handful of for...

Mazes and Monsters (1982)

100 mins     Drama, Fantasy, TV Movie      

Tom Hanks in a TV Movie, that is what "Mazes and Monsters" is now, it is a look at the Oscar winning actor appearing not in his first movie but in his first lead role. And there is something quite nice about watching the unco...
