Nightmare Alley (1947) 87% EDIT “Despite some fine and intense acting by Mr. Power and others, this film traverses distasteful dramatic ground and only rarely does it achieve any substance as entertainment.” – New York Times Dec 7, 2021 Full Review Stormy Weather (1943) 95% EDIT “Stormy Weather is a first-rate show, just the kind of spirited divertisement that will make you forget all about your own momentary weather troubles.” – New York Times Jan 28, 2021 Full Review Gentleman Jim (1942) 100% EDIT “Errol Flynn is to the manner drawn as the impeccable Gentleman Jim, and Ward Bond has the richest role of his long and serviceable career as the blustering Sullivan.” – New York Times Dec 8, 2020 Full Review The Gangster (1947) EDIT “Akim Tamiroff as an unscrupulous soda store proprietor gives what is perhaps the worst performance of his career. This is noted with regret, for Mr. Tamiroff is an actor with talent.” – New York Times Mar 12, 2020 Full Review The Betrayal (1948) EDIT “Mr. Micheaux, unfortunately, does not present his ideas clearly and the picture is often confusing.” – New York Times Oct 24, 2019 Full Review Mr. Lucky (1943) 100% EDIT “The light touch prevails pretty much, so "Mr. Lucky" should keep you in a more or less chucklesome mood most of the time.” – New York Times Oct 25, 2015 Full Review Desert Fury (1947) 70% 1.5/5 EDIT “A beaut of a Technicolored mistake from beginning to end.” – New York Times Nov 27, 2012 Full Review I Shot Jesse James (1949) 78% 2/5 EDIT “A commonplace movie.” – New York Times Dec 12, 2007 Full Review Murderers Among Us (1946) 83% 2/5 EDIT “A confused and rambling study of disillusionment in post-war Germany is presented in heavily stylized fashion.” – New York Times Aug 8, 2006 Full Review The Stratton Story (1949) 89% EDIT “Mr. Stewart gives such a winning performance that it is almost impossible to imagine anyone else playing the role of the Chicago White Sox pitcher whose bright future was suddenly and tragically darkened by adversity in 1938.” – New York Times Aug 8, 2006 Full Review Dead Reckoning (1947) 82% EDIT “... If some of the things they [the screenwriters] call on Mr. Bogart to do are just this side of sound reasoning, let it be noted that they have provided the star with some of the best all-around dialogue he has had in a long time.” – New York Times Aug 8, 2006 Full Review In the Good Old Summertime (1949) 62% 5/5 EDIT “In the Good Old Summertime is a wonderfully rich entertainment.” – New York Times Aug 8, 2006 Full Review The Secret Life of Walter Mitty (1947) 69% EDIT “"The Secret Life of Walter Mitty" is a big, colorful show and a good one.” – New York Times Aug 8, 2006 Full Review Night Monster (1942) 60% EDIT “Before this potpourri of occult mumbo-jumbo runs its tedious and fantastic course no less than eight normally healthy looking actors wind up as corpses.” – New York Times Aug 8, 2006 Full Review The Magnificent Ambersons (1942) 89% 4/5 EDIT “All in all, The Magnificent Ambersons is an exceptionally well-made film, dealing with a subject scarcely worth the attention which has been lavished upon it.” – New York Times Aug 8, 2006 Full Review I Walked With a Zombie (1943) 85% EDIT “A dull, disgusting exaggeration of an unhealthy, abnormal concept of life.” – New York Times Aug 8, 2006 Full Review Lady of Burlesque (1943) 78% 2/5 EDIT “Nothing more than a mystery melodrama with a backstage setting. Not a good mystery exercise either.” – New York Times Aug 8, 2006 Full Review Easter Parade (1948) 91% 4/5 EDIT “Easter Parade may not strike the perfect balance between song-dance interludes and story, but it's an appealing show just the same.” – New York Times Aug 8, 2006 Full Review Cabin in the Sky (1943) 81% EDIT “Cabin in the Sky is a bountiful entertainment.” – New York Times Mar 25, 2006 Full Review Whisky Galore! (1949) 96% EDIT “Another happy demonstration of that peculiar knack British movie makers have for striking a rich and universally appealing comic vein in the most unexpected and seemingly insular situations.” – New York Times Feb 11, 2006 Full Review Caged (1950) 50% EDIT “There is much in Caged that rings true, but unfortunately there is too much that appears to be contrived.” – New York Times Jan 28, 2006 Full Review Laura (1944) 100% 4/5 EDIT “The picture on the whole is close to being a top-drawer mystery.” – New York Times May 20, 2003 Full Review Green for Danger (1946) 73% EDIT “Green For Danger will give the aisleside sleuths a better workout than they have had for months and it also will rest easily with those who are content just to sit back and let the story resolve itself.” – New York Times May 20, 2003 Full Review The Spiral Staircase (1946) 86% EDIT “The film is likely to scare the daylights out of most of its audiences.” – New York Times May 20, 2003 Full Review Black Narcissus (1947) 100% 4/5 EDIT “While Messrs. Powell and Pressburger may have a picture that will disturb and antagonize some, they also have in Black Narcissus an artistic accomplishment of no small proportions.” – New York Times May 20, 2003 Full Review
