In Cold Blood (1967) 75% EDIT “I consider this piece of glamourised violence to be one of the most appalling degradations of human ingenuity I have seen either in or out of the cinema.” – Observer (UK) May 1, 2024 Full Review They Only Kill Once (1968) EDIT “A pitiful waste of time and money.” – Observer (UK) May 1, 2024 Full Review Planet of the Apes (1968) 86% EDIT “There is far too much talk and too little action, but the make-up alone is worth seeing and Mr. Heston, as always, puts his heart and soul into his performance.” – Observer (UK) May 1, 2024 Full Review Bedazzled (1967) 74% EDIT “Stanley Donen makes the whole amateur bag of tricks look lovely, which somehow makes it worse. Messrs Cook and Moore, both experts on an 18-inch screen, have patently sold their souls to the devil. ” – Observer (UK) Sep 15, 2022 Full Review Oliver! (1968) 90% EDIT “Oliver! is a very happy surprise. English musicals are notoriously dire, and it is good to find one with the bounce and vitality that one expects only from America.” – Observer (UK) Mar 3, 2022 Full Review Gertrud (1965) 71% EDIT “Gertrud, Dreyer's last picture, seemed to me a ponderous and theatrical bore, as suffocating and prim as the drawing-rooms in which it takes place. ” – Observer (UK) Mar 3, 2022 Full Review The Stranger (1967) 46% EDIT “It is, in parts. a little too highly coloured, too glossy. Nevertheless it is, I think, a very fine picture and more than worthy of Camus's "Outsider," from which it is adapted. ” – Observer (UK) Mar 3, 2022 Full Review
