Shorty’s Film Reviews

195 Films have been rated or reviewed by Shorty.

Bunny Lake is Missing (1965): Nicely noir atmosphere. Noel Coward is wonderful as a ham poet.
Jazz On a Summer's Day (1959): No hint, here, of things to come at Woodstock 10 short years in the future! Magical performances.; DVD ~~$20~~ $15
Cul-de-Sac (1966): Madcap weirdness and some good laughs.
Lost Horizon (1937): Or: 'How Shangri–La Got Modern Plumbing'. Too talky in the middle, but good fun.; Blu-Ray $19.95
Andrew Marr's The Making of Modern Britain (TV Series) (2009)
What's Up, Tiger Lily? (1966): And the Lovin' Spoonful are an extra treat.
Young Man With a Horn (Young Man of Music) (1949): Story has little relation to Biederbecke's life and Douglas makes a pretty wooden jazz musician. Hoagy and the music make up for that though.
Flim-Flam Man, The (1967)
Sinatra: All or Nothing at All (2015): The good, bad and ugly of Frank. Terrific archive footage.
Years And Years (TV Series) (2019): 'Coronation Street' with knobs on. Some nice anti–Trumpian satire too.
