Ghost and Mrs. Muir, The (1947): Some delightful moments in a good story line.The distinctive voice of George Sanders a bonus as are the seascapes.
Bronco Billy (1980): Some delightful moments – a bitter sweet film portraying a form of entertainment struggling to survive.
Jezebel (1938): Mainly a drawing room drama which is now a bit dated after some of the more recent BBC literary productions. The ensemble acting and costumes are fine and the yellow fever helps.
Rio Grande (1950): The b & w is easy on the eye.Chill Wills is good in a character part but Maureen O is subdued and wasted. The last couple of scenes are out of a boys magazine and are laughable.
Things to Do in Denver When You're Dead (1996): Uneven. Works best when Walken, Buscemi or Lloyd are involved but there are some other good supporting actors.
Maitresse (1976): It lacks any real substance and becomes just one encounter after another.
Open Range (2003): Another 2hr plus Costner movie .Locations are good to look at & the "final" shoot out is well done but then goes on for another half hour. Then the final final scene goes on and on & is romantic Hollywood – not only is it not required its embarrassing.
Fog, The (1980): Reasonable tension created – has a pretty useful cast.Some effective visual effects.
Tall T, The (1957): No frills – well written – good performances with Henry Silva making a good psycho. A top western.
Gladiator, The (1986): Doesn't have much to recommend it.
