Ray Milland

Ray Milland, Grace Kelly

Warner Home Video, 1996

A perfect murder...gone wrong!
Suspense and mystery - this Alfred Hitchcock movie has it all! Unlike some of Hitchcock's other films were he builds it up for all the action at the end of the movie, Dial M For Murder's action all takes place at the beginning of the movie. Grace Kelly was Hitchcock's ...

Masks of Death

Peter Cushing, John Mills

Warner Home Video, 1996

second only to Rathbone
This is among the most satisfying Holmes-Watson films. Brett's hamminess is fun, unlike the scenery-eating sonorities of Williamson, Plummer, et. al. But Cushing shares Rathbone's ability to convey the rapier intelligence of Holmes as intrinsic, "matter-of-fact ...

Oliver's Story

Ryan O'Neal, Candice Bergen

Love after Love Story

Love Story

Ali MacGraw, Ryan O'Neal

Paramount, 1992

In Love With Love Story
I love, love, love this movie. This movie had my attention from beginning to end. It is a true love story and an example of a happy, healthy relationship between a man and a woman. I am not a professional movie critic, however, I know great cinematography when I see ...

Lost Weekend

Ray Milland, Jane Wyman

Universal Studios, 1992

still the classic
Why was this movie not made mandatory viewing in every school in the 50s Well, we all know the reason. But it would have saved a lot of lives. Still the most vivid and moving protrait of alcoholism around. Not for the squeamish, but its a lot better to watch this than ...

Ministry of Fear

Ray Milland, Marjorie Reynolds

Universal Studios, 1998

Ding Dong Bell
Maybe Graham Greene didn't like this movie, but he was like every other author and thought his every word was gold. The movie skips all the dreary insane asylum scenes but one, and goes straight to the heart of things, in the county fair, or fete, a concept which ...

The Uninvited

Ray Milland, Ruth Hussey

MCA/Universal Home Video, 1998

A Classic, Old-fashioned, Spooky Ghost Story
THE UNINVITED is a true classic, one of the best haunted house stories that I have ever seen. Filmed in black and white in 1944, the film relies on the play of light and shadow, an eerie underscore, and suggestion and innuendo to scare the audience. There is no ...

Beau Geste

Gary Cooper, Ray Milland

Universal Studios, 1992

Terrific cast.
Intriguing from the start, this adventure begins at the end of the story, with a foreign legion troop arriving to reinforce a fort in the desert, to find it defended by dead men. How it got that way unfolds in a flashback story of the three adopted Geste Brothers ...

Golden Earrings

Ray Milland, Marlene Dietrich

Universal Studios, 1998

mesmerizing marlene
If anyone else but Marlene Dietrich had played the lead in this film, the film would have been awful! Dietrich triumphs in a role no-one would have predicted. mysterious, mesmerizing, seductive, funny, and finally moving as the loyal gypsy(!) Lyddia, Dietrich makes you ...

Frogs

Ray Milland, Sam Elliott

MGM (Video & DVD), 2000

Cult film lovers only -- a superb entry!
This one is an early '70s environmental cult film, made at just about the time that "ecology" became a buzzword. It was an early film for Sam Elliott and a late one for Ray Milland but the pair play off one another like cookies and milk. Here's the story: Ray ...

The Uncanny
Peter Cushing, Samantha Eggar

Media Video, 1985

Three Bizarre, hideous murders. Each one unexplainable. Each one a mystery...until now! While the spectre of night falls, an awestruck publisher listens as an author frantically reveals the subject of his latest book.

Variety Girl

Gary Cooper, Bing Crosby

Universal Studios, 1999

Novel conglomeration of talent and entertainment.
Variety Girl is one of those movies with a plot that's little more than an excuse to showcase a bunch of stars, mostly in small cameo roles. The story is based on the premise that the charitable Variety Club started when some Hollywood producers adopted a baby ...

Big Clock

Ray Milland, Charles Laughton

Universal Studios, 1996

A fascinating, well-made crime film

Reap the Wild Wind

Louise Beavers, Janet Beecher

One of My Favorite Movies
REAP THE WILD WIND is a great movie. I think it is much better than movies being made now. It has everything-Romance, Adventure, Family, Betrayal, Beautiful scenery and Gorgeous costumes. The acting is great. I especially like Ray Milland. Paulette Goddard, Susan ...
