My Forbidden Past (1951) EDIT “A dish with all the exotic charm of stale oysters and flat champagne. ” – Daily Telegraph (UK) Feb 3, 2026 Full Review Show Boat (1951) 81% EDIT “If it happens to be a youthful memory, you may find the magic a trifle dimmed. ” – Daily Telegraph (UK) Feb 3, 2026 Full Review White Corridors (1951) EDIT “The film is still worth seeing for its flow of telling incident, its unforced humour, and it glimpses (not too horrific but deeply moving) of the tougher side of a profession always face to face with realities of suffering and death.” – Daily Telegraph (UK) Feb 3, 2026 Full Review Ace in the Hole (1951) 88% EDIT “Life in America has its unpleasant sides: in no country, perhaps, is sensation exploited so vulgarly and on such a scale. The fact remains that this is a vicious caricature of a human nature anywhere. ” – Daily Telegraph (UK) Feb 3, 2026 Full Review Alice in Wonderland (1951) 83% EDIT “[Alice in Wonderland] has many good things in it and should have a popular success. But it will not satisfy completely either purists for the Lewis Carroll canon, or the even larger public that delights in Mr. Disney's best.” – Daily Telegraph (UK) Jan 8, 2026 Full Review Born Yesterday (1950) 95% EDIT “I found the fun, on the whole, thin and reminiscent. ” – Daily Telegraph (UK) Oct 13, 2025 Full Review Only Yesterday (1933) 100% EDIT “The picture is not very good, but its protagonist never loses her appeal to the public, and I have not the slightest doubt that Only Yesterday will be as popular here as it has been in America. See it for Miss Sullavan's performance.” – Daily Telegraph (UK) Apr 23, 2024 Full Review White Heat (1949) 94% EDIT “White Heat is one of those things that Hollywood does superbly.” – Daily Telegraph (UK) Apr 22, 2024 Full Review The Lavender Hill Mob (1951) 100% EDIT “The new Ealing comedy gives us all the fun of safe breaking without any sense of guilt and no danger at all. ” – Daily Telegraph (UK) Apr 17, 2024 Full Review Westward the Women (1951) 69% EDIT “A vigorous story by Frank Capra is well directed, except for over sentimental touches, by William A. Wellman, and well acted by Denise Darcel, Hope Emerson, John McIntyre, a large company of competent women and Robert Taylor as the hard-boiled guide.” – Daily Telegraph (UK) Feb 27, 2024 Full Review The Sin of Nora Moran (1933) 67% EDIT “This melodrama of a young woman who takes the blame for an ambitious young politician's crime is moderately effective, thanks to some sincere and competent acting by Zita Johann, Alan Dinehart, Paul Cavanagh and John Miljan. ” – Daily Telegraph (UK) Feb 22, 2024 Full Review State Fair (1933) 100% EDIT “Will Rogers gives the performance of his life as the owner of "Blue Boy"-- proud, anxious, and tender by turns.” – Daily Telegraph (UK) Nov 10, 2023 Full Review The Dark Angel (1935) 94% EDIT “The treatment is so careful, the direction so skillful, and the acting of Merle Oberon, Fredric March, and Herbert Marshall so sincere, that the story never fails to hold. ” – Daily Telegraph (UK) Mar 10, 2023 Full Review Sayonara (1957) 82% EDIT “While claims to "epic" quality are inflated, it really is, in its romantic glossy way, a highly expert job.” – Daily Telegraph (UK) Mar 2, 2023 Full Review Diabolique (1955) 95% EDIT “A strange and sinister film bearing the Clouzot signature all over it. No other director exploits so brilliantly the depths of civilized savagery, the frissons of the sadist, the anatomy of fear. ” – Daily Telegraph (UK) Jan 31, 2023 Full Review Frankenstein (1931) 94% EDIT “Everything in Mary Wollstonecraft Shelley's novel that lifted it above the level of a penny-dreadful has been omitted. ” – Daily Telegraph (UK) Jan 17, 2023 Full Review Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs (1937) 97% EDIT “An extension to a full-sized canvas has involved a certain amount of repetition and padding that slow down the tempo and dilute the wit. There is too much knockabout. The dwarfs are continually running into judging by Mr. Disney’s own standards.” – Daily Telegraph (UK) Dec 20, 2022 Full Review Gentleman's Agreement (1947) 82% EDIT “The story seemed repetitive and slow. It almost wholly lacks the tension and terrific impact of a recent picture on the same theme, Crossfire. Nevertheless Gentleman's Agreement, as a portent, is encouraging.” – Daily Telegraph (UK) Nov 16, 2022 Full Review Mr. Smith Goes to Washington (1939) 97% EDIT “The plot, as you see, is shop-worn and the sentimental philosophising dear to Mr Capra’s heart is as obtrusive as in Lost Horizon and You Can't Take It With You. By way of compensation he gives us a score of delightful human touches with dashes of wit.” – Daily Telegraph (UK) Nov 9, 2022 Full Review Stalag 17 (1953) 91% EDIT “I felt sorry for the cast. William Holden, Don Taylor, Otto Preminger, Sig Ruman and the rest do all they can with what they have. No man can do more.” – Daily Telegraph (UK) Nov 5, 2022 Full Review Shanghai Express (1932) 96% EDIT “If it were not for this anti-climax, Shanghai Express would be one of the greatest pictures ever made. [Dietrich] is more beautiful than ever, and Mr Brook, Mr Warner Oland and Miss Anna May Wong all give convincing performances.” – Daily Telegraph (UK) Oct 21, 2022 Full Review The Tall Men (1955) 80% EDIT “[The Tall Men] is not as good as it should be, but will do till a better Western comes along. The male stars are all at home in oats opera.” – Daily Telegraph (UK) Sep 14, 2022 Full Review La Strada (1954) 98% EDIT “A strange work -- none the less original because the ingenious may trace in it influences from Chaplin to the Commedia dell’Arte -- is directed by Federico Fellini with poetic imagination, power and a notable economy of means.” – Daily Telegraph (UK) Sep 14, 2022 Full Review The Life of Emile Zola (1937) 92% EDIT “It is practically impossible to make a bad film or a bad play about Dreyfus. After 40 years the story still has power to make the generous heart beat faster.” – Daily Telegraph (UK) Aug 3, 2022 Full Review Mutiny on the Bounty (1935) 96% EDIT “Mutiny on the Bounty is terrific melodrama, complete with stirring storm scenes... On the acting side it is a triumph for Mr. Laughton, whose Bligh is a tour de force probably unsurpassed in the history of the screen.” – Daily Telegraph (UK) Jul 27, 2022 Full Review
