Gentlemen Prefer Blondes (1953) 88% EDIT “A gaudy and highly enjoyable musical. ” – Winnipeg Free Press Mar 8, 2023 Full Review Sayonara (1957) 82% EDIT “A generally persuasive, atmospherically beautiful study of troubled race relations in army-occupied Japan.” – Winnipeg Free Press Mar 2, 2023 Full Review The Lady Eve (1941) 99% EDIT “If you want an antidote for the blues in these troubled times, there's no better picture to see than The Lady Eve. ” – Winnipeg Free Press Dec 29, 2022 Full Review The Maltese Falcon (1941) 99% EDIT “Bogart's grim acting style is admirably suited to the role of the hard-bitten private detective.” – Winnipeg Free Press Nov 16, 2022 Full Review The Shop Around the Corner (1940) 99% EDIT “Had the Shop Around the Corner been directed by some obscure craftsman it would, most likely, be hailed as a delightful little comedy, but we were so busy looking for the impish Mr. Lubitsch that we were thrown off our critical balance.” – Winnipeg Free Press Nov 7, 2022 Full Review Stalag 17 (1953) 91% EDIT “Wilder has kept his direction hard-hitting and has sharpened the characterizations of the men with many revealing and forthright touches.” – Winnipeg Free Press Nov 5, 2022 Full Review High Noon (1952) 94% EDIT “Would that we had a few more pictures like High Noon, and would that we had a few more producers with the courage, imagination and sanity of Stanley Kramer!” – Winnipeg Free Press Sep 20, 2022 Full Review La Strada (1954) 98% EDIT “An Italian movie of bitter and pitiless realism shot through with such pity and poignance that it will move you deeply. ” – Winnipeg Free Press Sep 14, 2022 Full Review The Spirit of St. Louis (1957) 83% EDIT “The Spirit of St. Louis will hold your interest, and your sympathy, every foot of the way. This is largely due to James Stewart who plays the title role with such artless honesty that you are able to accept him as the character completely. ” – Winnipeg Free Press Sep 14, 2022 Full Review Gentleman's Agreement (1947) 82% EDIT “It is a walloping blow in the collective solar plexus of those so-called "nice people" who say "I have many Jewish friends" and then add a "but."” – Winnipeg Free Press Aug 17, 2022 Full Review Pather Panchali (1955) 98% EDIT “Everything about Pather Panchali... points to the beautiful life of the human spirit.” – Globe and Mail Aug 8, 2022 Full Review How Green Was My Valley (1941) 93% EDIT “The word "masterpiece" can seldom be given to a movie, but here is one case where the word applies. It represents the fusion of the talents of a fine director, a sympathetic group of players and a story that is full of poignant touches. ” – Winnipeg Free Press Jul 26, 2022 Full Review Gigi (1958) 90% EDIT “The Cecil Beaton costumes and settings add to the charm of a package that is going to be enjoyed by everyone in the family. ” – Winnipeg Free Press Mar 25, 2022 Full Review From Here to Eternity (1953) 88% EDIT “Unlikely as [the novel] seemed for consumption by a censor-ridden motion picture audience, a film has been evolved that is tough-fibered and compassionate. It has been stunningly acted, superbly directed and skillfully photographed.” – Winnipeg Free Press Mar 17, 2022 Full Review Nightmare Alley (1947) 87% EDIT “It dishes up a plate of steaming realism, and makes few concessions to the purely glamorous. The result is an arresting, but uneven picture which will have a distinct appeal to those who like to take their entertainment with a dash of the bizarre.” – Winnipeg Free Press Dec 3, 2021 Full Review All the King's Men (1949) 97% EDIT “All the King's Men takes a blow torch to the corrosion which can cover the political scene in the United States and it burns deeply into your consciousness as well. Its approach is as vigorous and contemporary as a newsreel.” – Winnipeg Free Press Nov 30, 2021 Full Review Marty (1955) 96% EDIT “This little movie is a masterpiece which confines itself to the small world of the small man, and in doing so makes its real stature tower above most films.” – Winnipeg Free Press Oct 18, 2021 Full Review His Girl Friday (1940) 99% EDIT “There are few breathing spells in His Girl Friday. The film starts out at a breakneck speed, and continues it all the way through.” – Winnipeg Free Press Oct 14, 2021 Full Review Sunset Boulevard (1950) 98% EDIT “Hollywood has the rare courage to pull the wool from its own eyes in Sunset Boulevard.” – Winnipeg Free Press Oct 11, 2021 Full Review Leave Her to Heaven (1945) 85% EDIT “There is enough melodrama, and plot complications in the film to hold your interest.” – Winnipeg Free Press Sep 29, 2021 Full Review The Thing (1951) 87% EDIT “The grim winter background of the story serves to emphasize the stark character of the plot and the number of scenes which have the authentic away-from-the-studio touch also highlight the eerie nature of the whole film.” – Winnipeg Free Press Sep 21, 2021 Full Review The Littlest Outlaw (1955) 85% EDIT “Winning, honest, and wistfully touching.” – Winnipeg Free Press Aug 23, 2021 Full Review Rear Window (1954) 99% EDIT “Mr. Hitchcock has made an asset out of a movie liability in confining Stewart to the wheel chair. It enables you to become the spectator to the apartment goings-on, identifying yourself with the curious invalid.” – Winnipeg Free Press Jun 8, 2021 Full Review An American in Paris (1951) 95% EDIT “It's such a superlative movie that it seems better the second time you see it.” – Winnipeg Free Press Apr 13, 2021 Full Review Rebecca (1940) 98% EDIT “David O. Selznick has already given us Gone With the Wind, and with Rebecca he adds to his laurels as the most successful film producer of the year.” – Winnipeg Free Press Apr 12, 2021 Full Review
