Confessions of a Nazi Spy (1939) 95% EDIT “Anatole Litvak's meticulous casting contributes to the credulity of the action.” – San Francisco Examiner Dec 31, 2025 Full Review The Mad Miss Manton (1938) 84% EDIT “[The Mad Miss Manton features] good performances by Miss Stanwyck, Henry Fonda, Sam Levene and Stanley Ridges.” – San Francisco Examiner Apr 22, 2024 Full Review The Sin of Nora Moran (1933) 67% EDIT “It is the direction of this film which gives the melodrama dignity originality in its presentation, and character delineation, apart from the plot development and good acting of the cast. ” – San Francisco Examiner Feb 22, 2024 Full Review The Dark Angel (1935) 94% EDIT “A cinematic instrument as finely tuned to the emotions as if a master virtuoso played upon the heartstrings. ” – San Francisco Examiner Mar 10, 2023 Full Review Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs (1937) 97% EDIT “When Nature is personified, Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs becomes a fantasy not to be forgotten. A thing of haunting unreality that for the moment becomes real and natural.” – San Francisco Examiner Dec 21, 2022 Full Review The Shop Around the Corner (1940) 99% EDIT “It is a gem whose worth is not a superficial sparkle but a glow of warmth lighted by sincere characterization and an evanescent beauty that is caught in an awakening love.” – San Francisco Examiner Nov 8, 2022 Full Review The President's Mystery (1936) 80% EDIT “[The President's Mystery] reeks with propaganda... Did Mr. Roosevelt have an Idea around election time? One wonders.” – San Francisco Examiner Oct 25, 2022 Full Review The Life of Emile Zola (1937) 92% EDIT “[The Life of Emile Zola] quickens the mind and spirit and lifts the cinema to its highest peak of achievement. It is a genuine work of art.” – San Francisco Examiner Aug 3, 2022 Full Review Mutiny on the Bounty (1935) 96% EDIT “Never has Laughton recreated such a composite character as the strange, unhealthy creature that manned the Bounty... It is a magnificent performance, and, indisputably, Laughton's greatest.” – San Francisco Examiner Jul 28, 2022 Full Review The Rogue Song (1930) 79% EDIT “With magnificent vocal stride this fine baritone of the Metropolitan Opera Company carries The Rogue Song on the wings of a soaring triumph that heralds the dawn of a new era on the sound screen.” – San Francisco Examiner Jun 29, 2022 Full Review The Great Ziegfeld (1936) 72% EDIT “If the beauty of pageantry, ensemble and song were momentarily swept aside, there would be left heart-drama, natural comedy and excellent acting that would be compelling entertainment in itself.” – San Francisco Examiner Nov 30, 2021 Full Review Night Nurse (1931) 83% EDIT “The story sustains interest and suspense as it mounts in dramatic strength and cumulative action.” – San Francisco Examiner Jul 7, 2021 Full Review The Women (1939) 94% EDIT “The characters are altogether too unimportant to waste time and space in writing about them.” – San Francisco Examiner May 25, 2021 Full Review Modern Times (1936) 98% EDIT “The sequence in which the modern mechanical feeder for workers is introduced is a gem of comedy invention. It is one of the funniest episodes, and certainly the most ingenious.” – San Francisco Examiner May 6, 2021 Full Review Rebecca (1940) 98% EDIT “David Selznick's production of Rebecca, is on a par with Wuthering Heights. It comes near to the art for which the theater at its best stands, which is rare on the screen.” – San Francisco Examiner Apr 12, 2021 Full Review Babes in Arms (1939) 90% EDIT “Babes in Arms is more than "box office" entertainment. It is the triumphant cry or youth that will carry on when today's stars pale into memories.” – San Francisco Examiner Feb 19, 2021 Full Review
