Tubbs’s Film Reviews

Educating Rita (1983): The second half weakens a bit, but the two performers could never be boring.
Code 46 (2003): The two leads spend most of the time in the bedroom, which I suppose that it is where they are meant to be, but it suffocates what could have been a better use of the basic plot idea.
Solomon and Sheba (1959): The production is a product of its time. The romance scenes provide some light relief.
Thing, The (The Thing From Another World) (1951): The screenplay intelligently takes its time before introducing The Thing.
Born Free (1965): It should remain a family favourite for generations to come.
Right At Your Door (2006): To its credit, the scenario was a touch different to the norm.
Trapeze (1956): Although too much footage is spent on the love triangle, the circus itself is believable, and the action is very well edited and performed.
Viceroy's House (2017): It digresses from the history at times, and although the screenplay is well intentioned, the story would have been told better by a documentarian. The production values however are very commendable.
Obsession (The Hidden Room) (1949): The great Robert Newton, with splendid support from Nauton Wayne, does good service to a well written screenplay.
Georgy Girl (1966): Lynn Redgrave is the ideal casting for the title role. The screenplay, whilst not great, doesn't follow any well trodden path and is still interesting 60 years on as a time capsule. Its memorable title song helps.
