Movies starring Ray Milland

Irene (1940)

101 mins     Comedy, Musical, Romance      

"Irene" is the sort of musical comedy which Fred Astaire and Ginger Rogers could have made except they didn't instead we have Anna Neagle and Ray Milland doing a solid job in what is really a light weight movie. It is what it...

123 mins     Action , Adventure , Drama      

I've only watched a few Cecil B. DeMille movies so far but one thing is becoming apparent to me, he doesn't do small and "Reap the Wild Wind" is certainly not small. It is the first thing which grabs you when you watch as thi...

Whilst "Bugles in the Afternoon" is based upon a novel by Ernest Haycox what it ends up is a routine western, a Cavalry movie which uses the lead up to Custer's last stand as a setting. But whilst we are taken into the world ...

The Thief (1952)

85 mins     Crime, Drama      

Just because you can do something does it mean you should? That was the question which I found myself asking when I watched "The Thief" from 1952 because this is a movie with no dialogue at all, just a musical score and sound...

Dial M for Murder (1954)

105 mins     Crime, Thriller      

Over the years I have watched many of Hitchcock's movies and found that some of those which have been critically acclaimed seem vastly over rated where some of those from early on in his career are over looked. I say this bec...

96 mins     Western

The River's Edge (1957)

87 mins     Adventure , Crime, Drama, Western

Gold (1974)

120 mins     Action , Adventure , Drama      

First things first and anyone who is enticed into watching "Gold" now because they see that it stars Roger Moore or who are fans of Wilbur Smith's original novel should be warned as this movie was made back in 1974 and is inc...

Aces High (1976)

114 mins     Action , Drama, War      

Either "Aces High" is sublimely brilliant or seriously flawed and I can't make up my mind which it is. My trouble comes from how it comes across because here we have a movie which basically recaptures what life was like for p...
