The Lavender Hill Mob (1951) 100% EDIT “The ingenious starting point of T.E.B. Clarke's script of The Lavender Hill Mob provides some episodes of original and diverting comedy, and allows Alec Guinness and Stanley Holloway to develop two characterizations in lively contrast. ” – Sight & Sound Apr 18, 2024 Full Review Marty (1955) 96% EDIT “That most difficult task of irradiating the commonplace, and finding tensions in it without ever manufacturing false drama, has been adroitly achieved.” – Observer (UK) Oct 18, 2021 Full Review Panic in the Streets (1950) 97% EDIT “It has not only a particularly good story, but a sharpness and flexibility of observation in the writing and handling that occasionally makes it more than a melodrama about a city under the threat of plague.” – Sight & Sound Sep 25, 2021 Full Review The Night of the Hunter (1955) 93% EDIT “The Night of the Hunter doesn't altogether, as they say, "come off," but it is a film of extremely individual flavour, and its daring, its indifference to convention, make it uniquely surprising for a Hollywood production today.” – Sight & Sound Oct 2, 2020 Full Review Killer's Kiss (1955) 83% EDIT “The young writer-director-photographer-editor of this un-promisingly titled film has a good deal of talent.” – Sight & Sound Mar 30, 2020 Full Review The Cobweb (1955) 67% EDIT “The film remains tentative, uncommitted.” – Sight & Sound Mar 30, 2020 Full Review The Deep Blue Sea (1955) EDIT “Anatole Litvak brings a rather heavy slickness to it, using the Cinemascope frame with ingenuity, unsuitable though it is to the subject; and the lack of personal style is even more strongly felt. The drama does not seem to be happening anywhere.” – Sight & Sound Mar 18, 2020 Full Review Summertime (1955) 92% EDIT “It offers a rich, sometimes dazzling surface, with its fine Venice locations, but its conception seems tentative.” – Sight & Sound Mar 18, 2020 Full Review Romeo and Juliet (1954) EDIT “A film often rich in beautiful and exciting movement.” – Sight & Sound Mar 18, 2020 Full Review The Wild One (1953) 75% EDIT “In [director] Laslo Benedek the American cinema has an unusual talent, with a solidity and a spirit of humane inquiry which gives this film, in its faults as well as its virtues, a genuine and independent quality.” – Sight & Sound Mar 17, 2020 Full Review
