JOSEPH L. MANKIEWICZ, OPUS 19
***** 1970. Produced and directed by Joseph L. Mankiewicz. How to transform the screenplay of a western dealing with a daring prison escape into a smart and satiric film about honesty and prison reforms ? Well, just ask Mankiewicz, one of the top directors of the ...

The Parallax View

Warren Beatty, Hume Cronyn

Paramount Home Video, 1992

This review has been censored for your safety
I recall walking from the theater when this film was first released, determining that I would actively seek out every subsequent film the director Alan Pakula would make. From the understated fear generated from atop the Seattle Space Needle in the opening to the ...

Foxfire (1987)

Jessica Tandy, Hume Cronyn

Hallmark, 1999

"Fox Fire"
You couldn't throw these three actors together and get anything but an excellent family movie. The storyline is very good & touching, especially if you have old folks in your life. It is also a very scenic movie. Good movie for your collection if you like the Hallmark ...

Seventh Cross

Spencer Tracy, Signe Hasso

MGM (Warner), 1998

They don't make them like this anymore
What a pleasant surprise when I first viewed "The Seventh Cross." I thought the movie might be good, but simply "good" does not adequately describe this film. It is superb. The acting is excellent, especially for a movie of its time. But what else would you expect from ...

The Pelican Brief

Julia Roberts, Denzel Washington

Warner Home Video, 2000

The Pelican Brief
This is a movie full of intrigue and suspense. Denzel Washington turns in one of his best performances as Gray Grantham. Julia Roberts is equally as exciting as Darby Shaw a Tulane law student. Together they work to expose a criminal conspiracy that involves many ...

Day One

Brian Dennehy, David Strathairn

Lions Gate/Worldvision, 1994

The Real Deal
Of all the films on WWII's Manhattan Project, this is the best, in my opinion. It's a no-nonsense account of the hardships, obstacles, and breakthroughs in producing the atomic bombs that ended the war. As far as I know, it's only available on VHS. That's a ...

Cocoon

Don Ameche, Wilford Brimley

20th Century Fox, 1997

A group of retired old folks (Wilford Brimley, Don Ameche, Hume Cronyn, Jessica Tandy, Walter Giford, Gwen Verndon and Herta Ware) discover at their retirement village's swimming pool some unusual coccoons from outer space that gives them the energy of youth. However a ...

Sunrise at Campobello

Ralph Bellamy, Greer Garson

Warner Home Video, 1998

Jean Hagen Shines
Ralph Bellamy and (to a lesser degree) Greer Garson won plaudits for the amazing way they sunk themselves into their roles as FDR and Eleanor Roosevelt; and Hume Cronyn is also very good, but for sheer professionalism acting honors go to Jean Hagen for her no-nonsense ...

The World According to Garp

Nathan Babcock, Warren Berlinger

Warner Home Video, 1998

In the top 10
This movie is one of my top 10 favorites. If you have ever read any of John Irving's books then you will love this film. Although it doesn't compare to the book it is a great film full of lust, comedy, tragedy, well-developed characters, and great acting. It portrays ...

Phantom of the Opera

Nelson Eddy, Susanna Foster

Phantom of the Opera (1943)
I liked this movie. The dvd is great too. It has been transferred to DVD with great care. Great color and sound. This is basically a romance with an element of horror. Claude Rains and Suzanna Foster are good as well as Nelson Eddy. The dvd has some great ...

Shadow of a Doubt (1943)

Irving Bacon, Charles Bates

Universal Studios, 1999

Do You Believe a Stranger About Your Relative?
