Arabesque (1966) 78% EDIT “I didn't follow all the spy-counter-spy plot twists in "Arabesque" at the State any more than I can follow the clues and reasoning in "Perry Mason," but I enjoyed watching it.” – Minneapolis Star Tribune Feb 4, 2026 Full Review Diamonds Are Forever (1971) 64% EDIT “Best mechanical gimmick mayhem in town. ” – Minneapolis Star Tribune May 16, 2023 Full Review The French Connection (1971) 97% EDIT “[The film] is neither a documentary nor a grim slice of life but simply entertainment -- violent and bloody, yes, but still the kind of action and suspense stuff that kept the pulp fiction magazine alive for years and still intrigues most of us. ” – Minneapolis Star Tribune May 16, 2023 Full Review Fiddler on the Roof (1971) 81% EDIT “I expected charm, wit, sentiment... What I didn't expect was how overwhelmingly real the bravery, warmth, humanity and indomitability of these people would come through in the person of actor Topol in the role of Tevye. ” – Minneapolis Star Tribune May 16, 2023 Full Review The Love Bug (1968) 78% EDIT “After straining to appreciate films of loftier ambitions, I found it relaxing and enjoyable to watch one that is eager to entertain, is better than a green hand at its business, and demands nothing more of the viewer than a modicum of goodwill.” – Minneapolis Star Tribune Mar 2, 2022 Full Review Stolen Kisses (1968) 97% EDIT “Francois Truffaut has come out with a comedy, sometimes very funny, sometimes relevant to youthful problems, and always balanced between emotional extremes by Gallic worldliness.” – Minneapolis Star Tribune Mar 2, 2022 Full Review The Lion in Winter (1968) 91% EDIT “I think all concerned in The Lion in Winter deserve Academy Awards for strangeness. They achieve a measure of believability in the face of it.” – Minneapolis Star Tribune Mar 2, 2022 Full Review
