Movies starring Stewart Granger

Secret Mission (1942)

94 mins     Drama, War      

Back in the 1940s there were various propaganda movies made and "Secret Mission" is one of them but it appears slightly different to the norm. Whilst it features a story about a small group of men on an undercover mission in ...

Waterloo Road (1945)

73 mins     Drama, Romance, War      

Whilst many British war movies made in the early 40s were propaganda movies some were just about life during the war. "Waterloo Road" is one of those slice of life movies which focus on how hard it was for young couples to de...

King Solomon's Mines (1950)

103 mins     Action , Adventure      

Whilst the storyline has changed in places the 1950 adaptation of H. Rider Haggard's "King Solomon's Mines" is the most faithful that I have watched so far. And as such for those who have watched the 80s action adventure vers...

Scaramouche (1952)

115 mins     Adventure , Drama      

To show my ignorance, but I am sure I won't be alone, my only real knowledge of Scaramouche came from the lyrics "Scaramouche, Scaramouche, will you do the Fandango" from Queens brilliant "Bohemian Rhapsody". As such when I d...

The Prisoner of Zenda (1952)

96 mins     Adventure      

The Prisoner of Zenda (1952) Stewart Granger stars as Rudolph, a dead ringer for a Prince who is asked to stand in for the Prince when he is poisoned on the eve of his corontation...

Salome (1953)

103 mins     Drama      

I've watched "Salome" I think it is 3 times now and have come to the conclusion that each day on set someone tossed a coin to decide what sort of movie they were making that day. It is the only way I can explain how in one sc...

Moonfleet (1955)

87 mins     Adventure , Drama      

As those of you who have read some of my other movie reviews will know I am not a great reader, especially of fiction, and so it will come as little surprise when I say I have never read J. Meade Falkner's "Moonfleet". But fr...

Footsteps in the Fog (1955)

90 mins     Drama, Thriller      

As a thriller "Footsteps in the Fog" is solid, a little too far fetched in places and pedestrian in others but solid. But for what is really a serious thriller there is something darkly amusing about this tale of a lowly maid...

Bhowani Junction (1956)

110 mins     Drama      

I know I have mentioned this before but I will say it again as history lessons at school bored me senseless and I am pretty sure that Britain's departure from India back in the 1940s was not even covered. Now that makes watch...

North to Alaska (1960)

122 mins     Comedy, Western      

"North to Alaska" is a curious John Wayne movie because whilst entertaining it also feels pointless, pieced together and unfinished. All of which makes sense when you learn that as "North to Alaska" went into production it di...

The Wild Geese (1978)

134 mins     Action , Adventure , Drama, War      

The last time I watched "The Wild Geese" was back in the early 80s, I was a teenager and the story about a group of mercenaries going into Africa on a rescue mission was right up my street. I hadn't got a clue as to the stars...
