Shorty’s Film Reviews

172 Films have been rated or reviewed by Shorty.

Entertainer, The (1960): A tired and tawdry post–war Britain looking for its soul in bathing beauty pageants, music hall etc. Olivier is in fine form.
Funny Thing Happened On the Way to the Forum, A (1966): Great cast. No old gag left unturned.
American Film Theatre - The Homecoming (1973)
Peeping Tom (1960): Still creepy and confronting after all these years.
Unforgivable Blackness (2004): How the United States of America could not cope with Jack Johnson. Fine music soundtrack by Wynton Marsalis.
Producers, The (1968): OTT. LOL.; DVD ~~$19.95~~ $14.95
Tár (Tar) (2022)
Enid (2009): Telephones and typewriters – deft use of period detail.
Richard III (1955): "I am determined to prove a villain".; DVD ~~$24.95~~ $18.70
Billy Rose's Jumbo (1962): Corny as, but P T Barnum would be proud.
