Lawrence of Arabia (1962) 93% EDIT “The film’s real protagonist is the Arabian Desert -- a state of physical oppression and a state of mind made as compelling for the moviegoer as it must have been for Lawrence himself.” – The Reporter Feb 10, 2022 Full Review The Mouse That Roared (1959) 90% EDIT “It pokes a good deal of fun at a number of aspects of the contemporary scene that the movies have heretofore hardly considered prime material for levity (e.g., the State Department... the arms race, motion-picture audiences, and the movies themselves).” – The Reporter Feb 7, 2022 Full Review Behind the Great Wall (1959) EDIT “[Behind the Great Wall] is a handsome enough piece of work, and the narration, despite a lair share of the clichés endemic in the travel documentary, is somewhat more digestible than is usual in jobs of this sort.” – The Reporter Feb 7, 2022 Full Review Brink of Life (1957) 50% EDIT “Miss Dahlbeck's performance is one of the really memorable tours de force I've seen on film, and her brutally convincing scenes in a labor room will come as a shock to most American males.” – The Reporter Jan 25, 2022 Full Review Sapphire (1959) EDIT “A thoroughly engrossing and highly plausible entertainment -- and an unusually trenchant examination of the psychology of bigotry.” – The Reporter Jan 25, 2022 Full Review Happy Anniversary (1959) EDIT “A puerile farce.” – The Reporter Jan 25, 2022 Full Review
