The Patsy (1928) 100% EDIT “King Vidor did a handsome job of directing.” – Washington Post Apr 6, 2026 Full Review The Mad Miss Manton (1938) 84% EDIT “With Barbara Stanwyck and a Corporal’s guard of society girls probing murders and tying the police department into sailors’ knots, The Mad Miss Manton puts in the best bid on the screwball society angle since My Man Godfrey left audiences chuckling.” – Washington Post Apr 22, 2024 Full Review National Velvet (1944) 98% EDIT “If it preaches any lesson in rectitude and the comfort and dignity of character, it does so with friendly warmth and agreeable humor in terms of delightful diversion. All ages of both genders will find it pulsating with palatable pastiming.” – Washington Post Mar 26, 2024 Full Review State Fair (1933) 100% EDIT “State Fair is one of those rare films which must be seen. To pass it up is to miss motion picture entertainment at its very best.” – Washington Post Nov 10, 2023 Full Review The Bitter Tea of General Yen (1933) 86% EDIT “[The Bitter Tea of General Yen] offers perhaps as eloquent an example as is apt to happen along of the need that sometimes arises to make drastic alterations in the character and purpose of a book to fit it to the unique requirements of the cinema.” – Washington Post Apr 24, 2023 Full Review The Dark Angel (1935) 94% EDIT “In the hands of Fredric March, Merle Oberon, Herbert Marshall, and director Sydney Franklin this becomes a living breathing thing of tenderness and taste. ” – Washington Post Mar 10, 2023 Full Review Frankenstein (1931) 94% EDIT “[Boris Karloff's performance] is a skillful but unsavory bit of imaginative and grotesque portraiture that the delicately constituted will dream about through many haunted nights. ” – Washington Post Jan 18, 2023 Full Review Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs (1937) 97% EDIT “It is so exorbitantly rich in every element of joyous diversion that it stands apart from any conventional dramatic form. There is nothing with which to compare it.” – Washington Post Dec 21, 2022 Full Review The Rogue Song (1930) 79% EDIT “Stupendous backgrounds in natural color lend it the beauty of spectacular pageantry and the vigor of its performance a forcefulness nothing short of dynamic.” – Washington Post Jul 26, 2022 Full Review
