Paul Scofield
A Man for All Seasons
Paul Scofield,
Wendy Hiller
Sony Pictures, 1994
A Movie for All Seasons
You'd be hard pressed to find a film so profound as "A Man for All Seasons"; it borders on Shakespearean in its tone. Yes, it shows only one side of Sir Thomas More, and we fleetingly glimpse More's intense revulsion toward Protestantism and its followers (he sent ...
When the Whales Came
Paul Scofield,
David Threlfall
20th Century Fox, 1993
Drama Set Against a Natural and Historic Landscape
"When the Whales Came" is a must to see for anyone who likes nature, drama, folklore, history, and anything about Britain. Set on the remote island of Scylla, off Britain, the scenery of rolling water, sandy beaches, blue skies, and lush greenery is spectacular. The ...
Train
Burt Lancaster
, Paul Scofield
MGM (Video & DVD), 1997
Riveting action and suspense as the French Resistance attempts to stop a Nazi train full of looted artwork
If "The Train" isn't Burt Lancaster's finest film, it must certainly be included in the top two or three. Lancaster gives an outstanding performance as Paul Labiche, a resourceful French station master working with the Resistance to prevent the retreating German army ...
Peter Brook's King Lear
Paul Scofield,
Irene Worth
Warner Home Video; Orion, 1988
Brooks improves on perfection
Shakespeare, Peter Brooks, Paul Schofield and Jack McGowan. My God, this movie is good. Will someone explain to me why it's not been released on DVD? It sliced my soul when I first saw it over 30 years ago. It continues to touch me deep down where the meanings are ...
The Crucible
Daniel Day-Lewis
,
Winona Ryder
20th Century Fox, 1998
"Because it's my name and I cannot have another . . ."
If you can watch this film and not go through every emotion you own, then you need to check yourself for a pulse. Of course, I'm being a bit silly with my opening to this review, but the reality is that this is a film that will touch you on every imaginable level if ...

TIP OF THE ICEBERG
Considering the quality of this film, one would think that it should have won more awards,more acclaim. One factor might have been that anyone under the age of 46 in 1994 would have had little or no recollection of the television scandals which "broke" in 1959. ...

Hamlet with Mel Gibson
I need it for my school assignment, I watch it two times and learn to appreciate and love the movie, it's a clasic from Shakespeare! A must have!
Animal Farm (1999)

Animal Farm
My ninth grade students are required to read Animal Farm. This was a great movie to show upon completion of the book. They enjoyed pointing out the subtle differences (there weren't that many) between the movie and the book. TNT has a website that accompanies the ...
Anna Karenina (1985)
Jacqueline Bisset
,
Christopher Reeve
Lions Gate, 1997
THE BEST ANNA KARENINA THAT IS AVAILABLE - BUT
This beautiful classic love story with its beautiful classic stars has been slashed almost beyond recognition. What is even more upsetting is this version of this movie in its original presentation was at least 2 hrs 18 mins. long. I know this to be true because I ...
Attic: Hiding of Anne Frank
Mary Steenburgen
, Paul Scofield
Cabin Fever, 1992
Mary Steenburgen in an absorbing performance
This is a overall very-fine TV movie, putting a different slant on the story of Anne Frank and her family. Mary Steenburgen plays heroic Miep Gies, the young woman who helped the Franks' and the others in ATTIC: THE HIDING OF ANNE FRANK. This movie attempts to tell ...
Bartleby
Paul Scofield,
John McEnery
Kultur Video, 1995
Eerily Successful
This shot at one of Melville's best known stories is both a startling short film and on target as to it source. Moved to that banal modern London that Prince Charles is always grumbling about, it turns those plain buildings and awful alleys into the sort of wierd ...
A Delicate Balance
Katharine Hepburn
, Paul Scofield
Kino Video, 2003
Outstanding, Intelligent and Challenging
I saw this film in 1973 and loved it so much that I ran out and purchased the soundtrack - yes, there was a soundtrack released. It came in a three-record boxed set, and it included every single word of the screenplay. I then bought a copy of the play (which was ...

Utz
Armin Mueller-Stahl
,
Brenda Fricker
First Run Features, 2000
The world in miniature
In 'Utz' Chatwin has created an object that tempts yet resists definitive analysis. It resembles, in effect, a piece of the Meissen porcelain which is central to its concerns. At once exquisitely wrought, yet appealing to coarser interests, it is a paradoxical ...
