Nightmare Alley (1947) |
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

Stormy Weather (1943) |
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

Gentleman Jim (1942) |
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

The Gangster (1947) |
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

Mr. Lucky (1943) |
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

Murderers Among Us (1946) |
A confused and rambling study of disillusionment in post-war Germany is presented in heavily stylized fashion. - New York Times

The Stratton Story (1949) |
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

The Magnificent Ambersons (1942) |
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

Night Monster (1942) |
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

Lady of Burlesque (1943) |
Nothing more than a mystery melodrama with a backstage setting. Not a good mystery exercise either. - New York Times

Easter Parade (1948) |
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

Whisky Galore! (1949) |
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

Caged (1950) |
There is much in Caged that rings true, but unfortunately there is too much that appears to be contrived. - New York Times

Green for Danger (1946) |
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

Black Narcissus (1947) |
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

Sunset Blvd. (1950) |
While all the acting is memorable, one always thinks first and mostly of Miss Swanson, of her manifestation of consuming pride, her forlorn despair and a truly magnificent impersonation of Charlie Chaplin. - New York Times
