Finian's Rainbow (1968) |
[Finian's Rainbow] looks as though it has been rehearsed for, say, two months, then photographed in a week's time. - Harper's Magazine

Star! (1968) |
While Star! betrays everything in its course, it betrays no one more than its own star, Julie Andrews. - Harper's Magazine

Dear John (1964) |
Much has been made about the erotic nature of the movie, and that is a good thing... for it is very sweet eroticism. - Harper's Magazine

The Lion in Winter (1968) |
Mr. Goldman's script cannot resist undercutting the subject by trivializing it. - Harper's Magazine

The Fixer (1968) |
In the face of Frankenheimer's beautiful intentions it is really awful to have to say that The Fixer is a high-minded, monotonous drone. - Harper's Magazine

The Brotherhood (1968) |
If this story of the Mafia seems near bankruptcy, it's because nearly everything in it is in debt to something else that was done better at another time. - Harper's Magazine

Candy (1968) |
The joke, if it ever really existed, has gone out of Candy in her film embodiment. In its place is a long, dreary vaudeville, six or seven acts' worth. - Harper's Magazine

Ulysses (1967) |
Mr. Strick directed Ulysses and shared the screenplay with Fred Haines. I congratulate them both. - Harper's Magazine

The Night They Raided Minsky's (1968) |
It seems a shame, for the director William Friedkin apparently wanted something more...but in the end the crassness of the story does him in. - Harper's Magazine

Persona (1966) |
This original and individual work acts upon us in its own way; what is finally impossible to escape are the faces of Bibi Andersson and Liv Ullmann, agonized objects of Bergman's worship. - Harper's Magazine

Accident (1967) |
In the end, for all the fairly sensational things that have been brought to pass, it is the audience that is left forlorn and lonely, excluded from the often boring private visions of Harold Pinter's characters. - Harper's Magazine

La Guerre Est Finie (1966) |
In La Guerre Est Finie, Resnais has caught the wholly bitter taste of life-in-exile and the obsessive quality that often accompanies the pursuit of hopeless causes. - Harper's Magazine

Guess Who's Coming to Dinner (1967) |
Stanley Kramer's Guess Who's Coming to Dinner is another of his Euclidean problems in human geometry, worked relentlessly through step-by-step to the last tear and the neat solution, both of which are designed to provide full satisfaction. - Harper's Magazine

War and Peace (1966) |
The Tolstoyan directness comes through the film, the attempt stated and restated -- to resolve the dilemma of how to live. And while the movie sometimes hammers its moral points home with something less than grace, its epic quality never fails. - Harper's Magazine

(undefined) |
Their story, of course, has been told several times before, under different names, but never, in my memory, at such excruciating length. The film, which might have been satisfactory at an hour and a quarter, goes on for nearly two. - Harper's Magazine

The Young Girls of Rochefort (1967) |
This follow-up to The Umbrellas of Cherbourg is the French at their least charming, being a nearly unbearably coy Gallic imitation of an MGM musical dating from the heyday of Gene Kelly. - Harper's Magazine

2001: A Space Odyssey (1968) |
The movie, it seems to me, is a kind of galactic deep freeze, empty inside, both extraordinarily tedious and fancy at the same time. - Harper's Magazine

The Chinese Girl (1967) |
Its pace, for all the talk, is exhilarating, its use of primary colors hard and beautiful, its shifts of mood and action are both intricate and dazzling; while its feeling for its characters is always serious and affectionate, even when Godard is mocking. - Harper's Magazine
