I watched Broken Lullaby a 1932 Ernst Lubtisch film, not a comedy for once. Instead a very thought provoking film. It's story is centres around the death of a German soldier. The French man who kills him becomes haunted by the act and as he has seen the mans name and address he goes to the soldiers ...

I've only seen the Jennifer Jones version as it was sent me by a friend. I didn't know this version existed. I knew of the Norma Shearer Charles Laughton film but have never seen it. I agree Jennifer Jones did seem to be enjoying good health throughout the film. John Geilgud was extremely scary and ...

I saw this film years ago and it frightened me. Robert Mitchum's preacher is one of the scariest character in movies. I've seen him in Cape Fear , I think he is even more frightening in that, more unhinged. Robert De Niro great actor that he is can't come anywhere near the greatness of Robert Mitchu...

I've just watched Beggars of Life such a powerful story. It centres around the life of hobos who jump trains and live from hand to mouth. it was made in 1928 the year before the Wall St crash. It shows America's underbelly, it has menace, sweetness, poverty and romance. Three wonderful performances,...

I watched City Lights for the twentieth time but this time I watched it with my five year old daughter. She has seen a couple of Chaplin features but I wasn't convinced she'd get all the sentiment with this film. I needn't have worried. Chaplin had the very same effect on her as he intended with his...

I watched The Single Standard with Greta Garbo and Nils Asther. I think this is the silent that Greta looks the most alluring in, the styling of the clothes and sets are a joy to look at too. Nils and Greta certainly have chemistry but I think Nils looks a little mad in some scenes. Greta plays Arde...
