Movies starring Peter Lawford

Son of Lassie (1945)

102 mins     Adventure , Drama, Family      

There have been various reincarnations of Lassie over the years but for me the best still remains the first movie "Lassie Come Home". That doesn't mean these various other Lassie movies are bad, often just a bit weaker which ...

Easter Parade (1948)

107 mins     Musical, Romance      

"Easter Parade" is the sort of musical which I like and dislike, which may sound like a contradiction but it is not alone as there are many musicals which I like and also dislike. From a musical perspective what is there not ...

Little Women (1949)

122 mins     Drama, Family, Romance      

This 1949 version of Louisa May Alcott's "Little Women" is only the third version I have seen and I say only because this was the 8th adaptation and there have been others since. One of those more recent adaptations was the 1...

Royal Wedding (1951)

93 mins     Comedy, Musical, Romance      

As Fred Astaire musicals go "Royal Wedding" isn't bad but it is for the most average and quite forgettable. In fact it almost feels like a musical churned out not so much because anyone thought it would be great but partly to...

Kangaroo (1952)

84 mins     Drama      

"Kangaroo" which sometimes is known as "The Australian Story" is really little more than a typical western, with recognizable western actors but with a storyline set in Australia. Does it make it anymore special? Not at all a...

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...

The Longest Day (1962)

178 mins     Action , Drama, War      

Darryl F. Zanuck started producing movies back in 1925 when he was in his early twenties and in 48 years he was involved in the production of over 200 movies many of which are highly regarded as he worked with just about anyo...

Buona Sera, Mrs. Campbell (1968)

108 mins     Comedy, Romance      

One woman, one child but three men who could be the daughter's father, no I am not talking about the musical "Mamma Mia" but the 1968 comedy "Buona Sera, Mrs. Campbell". Here we have Gina Lollobrigida as the mother who is con...

That's Entertainment! (1974)

135 mins     Musical      

I've always had a thing for musicals and to be honest I didn't know why as if someone took me to the theatre to watch a show I wouldn't be bothered about it and growing up musicals were not what the family watched on the box....
