Jailhouse Rock (1957)

“A motion picture which lives up to its advertising... as the best Presley picture yet. This, of course, is like saying it is much more fun to be hit on the head with a 10-round mallet than with a 20-pound mallet.” –

“The Lone Ranger does have enough action to keep devotees of the series happy... Cattle stampedes, hand-to-hand encounters, dynamiting and sundry other embellishments add their uproar to the noise of gunfire.” –

The Littlest Outlaw (1955)

“Director Gavaldon has managed to linger over a picture here and there that doesn't do much to advance the action, too, without noticably damaging his picture's pace. This is a good trick if you can do it and Mr. Gavaldon obviously can.” –

Streets of Laredo (1949)
