Jan Sterling

Charlton Heston, Rhonda Fleming

Paramount, 1998

Great Scenery
Charlton Heston stars as Buffalo Bill, who along with partner Wild Bill Hickock, played by Forrest Tucker, is attempting to set up the Pony Express to help connect California with the rest of the country. Beautiful Rhonda Fleming and her brother are part of a group ...

The Incident (1967)

Victor Arnold (II), Robert Bannard

Fox Home Entertainment, 1989

Gripping, powerful, and UNDERRATED!
The most amazing thing about this film is how unknown it is. Rarely on television (and now that AMC has basically gone "belly-up", possibly never on TV again), and certainly not available on DVD. That is a pity. Tony Musante and Martin Sheen star in debut roles as ...

Man With the Gun (1955)

Robert Mitchum, Jan Sterling

MGM (Video & DVD), 1998

Big Bad Bob Mitchum ...again!
Bob Mitchum swaggers through another movie with his usual effortless authenticity that "method" actors could aspire to but never attain. I can't say enough about this mans ease in front of a camera and ability to sell me ANY part he ever played....and this is no ...

High School Confidential

Russ Tamblyn, Jan Sterling

Republic Pictures, 1998

A Wonderful Movie
This is a very good movie. In fact, it is extremely well done all around. The acting was very effective and convincing. Russ Tamblyn is excellent. I particularly liked the cinematography. Also, the script worked on many levels making it appealing to a wide audience. I ...

Harder They Fall

Humphrey Bogart, Rod Steiger

Sony Pictures, 1994

Bogart's Powerful Finale
Based on Budd Schulberg's 1947 novel, "The Harder They Fall" (1956) is a stunning indictment of the boxing profession. The film also marks Humphrey Bogart's final performance as a former sports writer turned publicist - and he's in good company. Bogie's scenes with Rod ...

Johnny Belinda (1948)

Jane Wyman, Lew Ayres

MGM (Warner), 1998

Remarkable performance from Wyman
Jane Wyman rightly became a movie superstar with her Academy Award-winning performance in this film. Belinda is a deaf mute young woman who is thought of as "the dummy" by her family and the local townspeople in the Canadian fishing village in which she was born and ...

First Monday in October

Walter Matthau, Jill Clayburgh

Paramount, 1994

See the Lysol Lady of Orange County
Long before Sandra Day O'Conner (In 1981 President Reagan appointed her to the U.S. Supreme Court) there was a play about the first woman on the Supreme Court. This movie "First Monday in October" (1981) chronicles the potential problems of allowing such a radical ...

Split Second

Stephen McNally, Alexis Smith

Turner Home Entertainment, 1989

The Intensity Never Flags.
A cultish favourite that is often listed for festivals of noir cinema, this work is less noirish than it is a clear example from the Theatre of Paranoia, as Dick Powell's directorial debut melds nuclear explosion fears with a harrowing hostage taking by two escaped ...

The Competition

Richard Dreyfuss, Amy Irving

Sony Pictures, 1994

You Can Wait...
...for the DVD. It won't be any more or less dated when it comes. It was a sappy love story in 1980, almost embarrassing, but looking at it now I'm surprised by how well it was put together, without any computer effects, without 5-second cuts for short attention spans, ...

Union Station

William Holden, Nancy Olson

Kartes Video Communications

Fairly standard crime drama
William Holden stars as Lt. William Calhoun who's in charge of the police force commissioned to patrol the busy Union Station. Calhoun is alerted by a conductor that a female passenger Joyce Willecombe played by Nancy Olson has spotted two male passengers carrying ...

Ace in the Hole (AKA The Big Carnival)

Kirk Douglas, Jan Sterling

See Kirk Douglas act like a total ace-hole!
In 1950 Billy Wilder was riding high. Fresh off the enormously successful Sunset Boulevard, the German-born Wilder decided to make a very different film; one somewhat critical of the society of his new home, the United States. That film was called Ace in the Hole. ...
