143 mins Comedy, Musical, Romance

Gene Kelly dancing with Jerry of Tom & Jerry fame, that is what most people know "Anchors Aweigh" for and those who have seen it will also say it is like a prototype for the later musical "On the Town" as they share a similar...

Till the Clouds Roll By (1946)

132 mins Biography, Musical

"Till the Clouds Roll By" is supposedly a musical biopic all about composer Jerome Kern, I say supposedly because whilst various events relate to Kern's life most of the movie is made up and most certainly doesn't deliver a l...

The Miracle of the Bells (1948)

120 mins Drama

"The Miracle of the Bells" is one of those old curious movies which on paper sound like a hit but in reality something about it doesn't work or maybe it does work but just doesn't deliver what audiences expected. Part of the ...

Double Dynamite (1951)

80 mins Comedy

"Double Dynamite" is a fun light weight comedy with a huge problem 2 out of 3 or the main actors are the wrong actors. When you have two actors the calibre of Frank Sinatra and Jane Russell you want them to play snappy, large...

From Here to Eternity (1953)

118 mins Drama, Romance, War

I've watched "From Here to Eternity" many times and despite being impressed by many aspects of it I have never been blown away by it as so many people have. In fact having read many reviews of "From Here to Eternity" I am oft...

Young at Heart (1954)

113 mins Drama, Musical, Romance

It would be fair to say that a lot of Doris Day movies work to a formula and as such a typical Doris Day movie has an almost painted by numbers feel to it. One Doris Day movie which doesn't, which feels quite original is "You...

Suddenly (1954)

75 mins Drama

Movie Review - Suddenly (1954) 1950s thriller starring Frank Sinatra as a psycho assassin who heads with his goons to a small town of Suddenly where he plans to kill the President. But he finds himself dealing with the patrio...

Guys and Dolls (1955)

150 mins Comedy, Musical, Romance

This review of "Guys and Dolls" is going to be the opposite of the musical, short. You see I like old musicals, I like the show tunes, the dancing and big production numbers but at 150 minutes I find "Guys and Dolls" just too...

High Society (1956)

111 mins Comedy, Musical, Romance

"High Society" has one huge, gigantic problem and that is it is a musical adaptation of Philip Barry's play which was the source for the wonderful screwball comedy "The Philadelphia Story". There is no way that anything, even...

The Pride and the Passion (1957)

125 mins Action , Adventure , Drama

As a rule I am not into historical period dramas and so with a story set during the Napoleonic wars "The Pride and the Passion" isn't the sort of movie I would normally watch. But what attracted me was that it stars Frank Sin...

Pal Joey (1957)

111 mins Drama, Musical, Romance

Whilst "Pal Joey" wasn't written with Frank Sinatra in mind it could quite easily have been because it is not only a perfect movie to highlight his talents as a singer and actor but also sees him playing a character which fee...

Never So Few (1959)

125 mins Drama, War

The best thing about "Never So Few" is Steve McQueen, not only does he give the most entertaining performance but whilst he'd already made a few movie and appeared on TV this was the movie which in many ways made him an A-lis...

Ocean's Eleven (1960)

123 mins Comedy, Crime

Before we were introduced to George Clooney & Brad Pitt schmoozing their way through the remake of "Ocean's Eleven" and the subsequent sequels there was the original "Ocean's Eleven" from 1960. Sadly the original "Ocean's Ele...

Can-Can (1960)

131 mins Comedy, Musical, Romance

As a movie musical "Can-Can" doesn't work, okay bit harsh it does work but it's not up there with the great musicals which have the complete package. Instead "Can-Can" is a movie which has moments of pure bliss but then fills...

The Devil at 4 O'Clock (1961)

126 mins Action , Disaster, Drama, Thriller

It is said that for a while "The Devil at 4 O'Clock" couldn't get a director because no one was that impressed with the story and whilst Columbia finally got themselves Mervyn LeRoy I can sort of see why no one wanted to touc...

4 for Texas (1963)

124 mins Comedy, Western

"4 for Texas" is a comedy western which has something for everyone; fans of the Rat Pack will enjoy Frank and Deano as rival cowboys, those who like pretty women will enjoy Anita Ekberg and Ursula Andress, there is also Charl...

The List of Adrian Messenger (1963)

98 mins Mystery

"The List of Adrian Messenger" is a mischievous movie thanks to the smart use of some big stars or at least that was when it came out. I say that because here is a movie with acting legends such as Tony Curtis, Burt Lancaster...

Robin and the 7 Hoods (1964)

123 mins Comedy, Crime, Musical
