Shorty’s Film Reviews

197 Films have been rated or reviewed by Shorty.

Shooting Party, The (1984): A society blindly stumbling into a 'Great War'. The film tells its story quietly. Nice dialogue.
Alexei Sayle's Stuff (TV Series) (1988): Marxist rantings from a fat Liverpudlian in a dazzling array of ill–fitting suits. Recommended.
Bete Humaine, La (1938): TBH, I found the exterior train shots more engrossing than the human melodrama.
House of Mirth (2001): Slow to get going but builds to a nicely desperate end.
Le Million (1931)
Adolf Hitler: My Part in His Downfall (1973): Spike plays his own father.
La Regle Du Jeu (Rules of the Game) (1939): "Stop this farce!" "Which one, m'lord?"
Young Frankenstein (1974): I'd forgotten about Marty Feldman . . . how good he was.
Masked and Anonymous (2003): Dylan ambles his way through a waggish tale of what it's like to be stuck inside one's (ie. his) own legend. Great soundtrack, of course.
Grand Illusion (La Grande Illusion) (1937)
