Jack Benny’s greatest movie role, and no wonder–it was written especially for him by Ernst Lubitsch! Carole Lombard’s swan song earned her some of her finest reviews posthumously, but the film itself, daringly dark for the time, was generally regarded as an insensitive and even troubling satire of wartime issues. The title refers not only... The post To Be Or Not To Be appeared first on Trailers…
One of Tim Burton’s most creative pictures abandons his morbid-lite focus to find big fun in comic Sci-fi spectacle, a ‘Mad, Mad, Mad, Mad’ adaptation of a set of bubble gum cards. It may not have been the movie-going flavor of the year in 1996, yet we’ll choose its affectionate satire over funereal gloom any...

The film adaptations of Jack Finney’s book The Body Snatchers score rather well — almost all of them are very good. For his foray into studio politics, filmmaker Abel Ferrara chose this highly commercial Sci-fi horror tale, and came up with an interesting variation on the main theme, with a low-key cast and effective, organic-looking...

Though the film is occasionally preachy, it’s propaganda of the most righteous form and hilarious to boot. Chaplin plays both the tramp...

So you think life is tough where you are? … these three Italian crime tales teach a lesson beyond noir, that hope and hunger drive men to crime. Or does criminality just becomes part of life on its own? Alberto Lattuada, Flavio Calzavara and Pietro Germi offer thrillers al’italiana … expect unsavory surroundings and immoral...

Raoul Walsh’s four-masted seagoing epic is an ambitious Technicolor production, a Hollywood film made in Europe. Gregory Peck and Virginia Mayo bring C.S. Forester’s heroic characters to life, with able support from favorites like James Robertson Justice, Stanley Baker and Christopher Lee. The un-credited Ken Adam constructed full-sized sailing craft in the South of France.... The post Captain…
James Cagney plays a Coca Cola executive in this wild Cold War comedy satirizing sex, politics and soft drinks. The movie began filming in Berlin but Wilder was forced to move to Munich when the Wall began construction. Famous for being so fast-paced it leaves an audience either elated or confused, the movie split critics... The post One Two Three appeared first on Trailers From Hell .
