Matt Hough Inferno (1953) 3D Blu-ray Review Roy Baker’s 1953 drama Inferno has a lot going for it: vivid 3D, a memorably physical central performance, outstanding outdoor photography taken mostly in the Mojave Desert, and Technicolor which brings out the magnificent physical assets of the...

It's a good time to be a Billy Wilder fan. Both One, Two, Three, as well as The Fortune Cookie arrive at around the same time. Between the two, came Irma La Douce (not yet released on Blu-ray) and Kiss Me, Stupid, available from Olive. With The Fortune Cookie, Mr. Wilder created a new team --...

After a single production at M-G-M in 1933, Mr. Astaire spent the next the next seven years at RKO, starring in some of what remain today, as the finest musicals ever created. After that period, and while he would spend quality back at M-G-M, and Paramount, he made two films for Columbia, under...

Ever since I was cognizant of filmmakers, I was a William Wyler groupie. And while much of his output over the years tended to steer toward the more serious and dramatic, he went in another direction entirely, with How to Steal a Million in 1966. Mr. Wyler began his career in the 1920s, and...

Richard Gallagher Our Man in Havana Blu-ray Review Our Man in Havana is a droll, entertaining spoof of British Intelligence that is skillfully adapted by Graham Greene from his own novel and directed by Carol Reed. An added pleasure is the wonderful black & white location filming in Cuba by...

Matt Hough Another Woman Blu-ray Review Mid-life crisis hits many of us full-on and very hard, and that’s certainly the case in Woody Allen's Another Woman, an outstanding production that presents several characters wrestling with the restlessness and dissatisfaction that can come to those...

Matt Hough How to Steal a Million Blu-ray Review The third collaboration between director William Wyler and star Audrey Hepburn, How to Steal a Million might not have the poignant effervescence of their Roman Holiday, but it’s a light and airy comic caper film with just the right touches of...

Charles Shyer has written or co-written a number of memorable comedies, including Private Benjamin, Smokey and the Bandit, Protocol, and Father of the Bride, which he also directed. Shyer made his feature directorial debut on Irreconcilable Differences, and followed it up with the Diane Keaton...

Matt Hough Baby Boom Blu-ray Review A light romantic farce that goes everywhere you expect it will and goes nowhere you expect it won’t, Charles Shyer’s Baby Boom is a pleasant time passer with just enough of a message to it that it won’t be a turn off to anyone in its audience. [review]...

If there ever was an odd couple, it might be Noel Coward and Ernie Kovacs, who appear together here, for their first (and only) time. The cast of Our Man in Havana, beyond Sir Noel and Mr. Kovacs, reads like a dream cast for a normal filmmaker, but Carol Reed was generally able to get anyone he...

Matt Hough Peyton Place Blu-ray Review A tender, evocative small town drama with incisive character studies delivered by a clutch of outstanding actors has been somewhat miraculously extracted from Grace Metalious’ scandalous best seller in Mark Robson’s Peyton Place. [review] Read more.

Matt Hough How to Succeed in Business Without Really Trying Blu-ray Review David Swift's How to Succeed in Business Without Really Trying emerges as a bright, funny, and slick Big Business satire 1960s style with wryly tuneful songs and enjoyably engaging performances. [review] Read more.

I'm betting that some readers here may only know Robert Morse as Bertram Cooper of Mad Men. For those folks, be aware that he's been in the business since the 1950s. I "discovered" him in late 1961, when I saw the show on Broadway, with he and the legendary Rudy Vallee in the roles they...

Matt Hough Kiss of Death (1947) Blu-ray Review A film noir classic with two indelible star performances and a more domestically-focused story than usual for the genre, Henry Hathaway’s 1947 Kiss of Death remains a fine, imminently viewable achievement. [review] Read more.

As a Woody Allen film, his 1978 Interiors, was a bit of an anomaly. It wasn't a comedy, but rather headed in the direction of Ingmar Bergman. As Julie Kirgo notes in her excellent monograph, Mr. Allen was coming off of Annie Hall, and could do no wrong. And he didn't. It's just that...

I've not seen Henry Hathaway's Kiss of Death in high quality. Ever. Best was a lovely, 16mm print, which can't compare to what Fox has given us on this new Blu-ray, courtesy of Twilight Time. Presumably derived from a quality fine grain master, the film has all of its darkness and shadow...
