The Mad Miss Manton (1938) 84% “A throwback to the school of zany comedies, which had almost played itself out in the first six or seven months of the year, The Mad Miss Manton is an assemblage of madcap antics, confused mystery killings and deliciously bright, sophisticated lines.” – Brooklyn Daily Eagle Apr 22, 2024 Full Review The Lady Eve (1941) 99% “The Lady Eve is Preston Sturges' way of sneering at the law of averages and laying down the gauntlet to the fates... Sometimes he has got to crack, but that is not now: The Lady Eve is a honey.” – Brooklyn Daily Eagle Dec 29, 2022 Full Review Gentleman's Agreement (1947) 82% “It states its case with such frankness, such screen grace and such persuasiveness that it will do more for man's understanding of man than the most militant haranguer. And not for an instant does it fail to be a captivating screen show.” – Brooklyn Daily Eagle Nov 16, 2022 Full Review The Maltese Falcon (1941) 99% “The Maltese Falcon is a beguiling melodrama that does nothing the ordinary way. In fact, by strict motion picture standards, it shouldn't even click. But it does, and big.” – Brooklyn Daily Eagle Nov 11, 2022 Full Review Mr. Smith Goes to Washington (1939) 97% “Mr. Smith Goes to Washington [is] a meaningful social commentary and a delightful bundle of entertainment despite its weaknesses. For that the credit goes to Capra, to Stewart and to Miss Arthur.” – Brooklyn Daily Eagle Nov 9, 2022 Full Review The Shop Around the Corner (1940) 99% “[The supporting players] make a pleasant gallery of simple people talking chit-chat while Mr. Lubitsch and his charming leading couple magically transform a small bundle of comedy into a good-sized lark.” – Brooklyn Daily Eagle Nov 7, 2022 Full Review When Were You Born? (1938) 42% “It takes more than novel atmosphere to make a good mystery out of a flimsy crime.” – Brooklyn Daily Eagle Oct 21, 2022 Full Review How Green Was My Valley (1941) 93% “Make no mistake about it: How Green Was My Valley, weaknesses and all, is a grand screen production. Its acting is magnificent and its direction is compelling without being pretentious.” – Brooklyn Daily Eagle Jul 26, 2022 Full Review Mrs. Miniver (1942) 93% “No one person in Mrs. Miniver alone is responsible for its beauty; it is the result of superb craftsmanship by all concerned... But If any one is to be singled out for special praise it should be Teresa Wright, who gives a knockout performance.” – Brooklyn Daily Eagle Jan 4, 2022 Full Review Nightmare Alley (1947) 88% “When it began to slip, it slipped fast. It soon became so shabby that, by the end, the ghostly polish it had had at the beginning was completely forgotten.” – Brooklyn Daily Eagle Dec 3, 2021 Full Review The Wizard of Oz (1939) 98% “Despite its shortcomings, The Wizard of Oz is a spectacle to be seen -- a fantastic romp that will be a treat for the youngsters and a welcome diversion for their oldsters.” – Brooklyn Daily Eagle Oct 14, 2021 Full Review His Girl Friday (1940) 99% “So long as Hollywood is determined to have remakes, may they follow in the footsteps of His Girl Friday.” – Brooklyn Daily Eagle Oct 14, 2021 Full Review Leave Her to Heaven (1945) 85% “Miss Tierney has the dramatic plum in Leave Her to Heaven and plays it earnestly. Her supporting cast, though, including [Cornel Wild, Jeanne Crain, Darryl Hickman, and Vincent Price], are equally artful.” – Brooklyn Daily Eagle Sep 29, 2021 Full Review Mr. Smith Goes to Washington (1939) 97% “There is a tremendous, stirring tribute to American democracy, a tribute that will profoundly move every man-jack of moviegoers, in Mr. Smith Goes To Washington.” – Miami Herald Jun 23, 2021 Full Review The Philadelphia Story (1940) 100% “[The Philadelphia Story] makes things briskly comical. Miss Hepburn knows how to be comical. So do Jimmy Stewart, Miss Hussy, Roland Young (who Is the lady-chasing uncle) and little Miss Weidler.” – Brooklyn Daily Eagle Jun 10, 2021 Full Review Ecstasy (Ekstase) (Rhapsody of Love) (Symphony of Love) (1933) 54% “Experimentally it was a dud. It was a bad motion picture --slow, poorly played, pretentiously arty and uncommonly dull, for all of the hullabaloo it caused.” – Brooklyn Daily Eagle Jun 10, 2021 Full Review The Women (1939) 94% “[The characters] are putting on a circus, perhaps a little cleaner than the [play], but in other respects very similar to it They supply 133 minutes of unpatterned fun while giving a-woman's eyeview of women-at-large.” – Brooklyn Daily Eagle May 25, 2021 Full Review The Best Years of Our Lives (1946) 98% “A fresh and utterly human drama with beautiful acting, heart-warming writing, gentle, unpretentious direction and the fine technical touches -- photographic, scenic and sound.” – Brooklyn Daily Eagle Apr 14, 2021 Full Review Rebecca (1940) 98% “Joan Fontaine brings a stunning modulation of emotions to the second Mrs. de Winter.” – Brooklyn Daily Eagle Apr 12, 2021 Full Review Citizen Kane (1941) 99% “Citizen Kane Is a triumph not only for Orson Welles, but for his entire company as well.” – Brooklyn Daily Eagle Mar 2, 2021 Full Review Babes in Arms (1939) 90% “The Rodgers and Hart musical has two irresistible personalities who can sine and dance and play comically and sweetly in proper order, and even better, we think, than any of the youngsters in the original.” – Brooklyn Daily Eagle Feb 12, 2021 Full Review The Spiral Staircase (1946) 86% “An always chilling and sometimes hair-raising thriller.” – Brooklyn Daily Eagle Dec 31, 2020 Full Review Detour (1945) 98% “It Is a not-too-late-believable story of a piano player who ruined his life by hitch-hiking from New York to Los Angeles to marry his girl -- but it is told bluntly and briskly by Director Edgar Ulmer.” – Brooklyn Daily Eagle Dec 29, 2020 Full Review Tevye (1939) 92% “Mr. Schwartz is a better screen actor than a screen director; his film is unnecessarily long and slowly paced, thus adding to the already sizeable burden contributed by the unsuspenseful script.” – Brooklyn Daily Eagle Dec 11, 2020 Full Review The Invisible Man Returns (1940) 87% “The little man who wasn't there is having company this week, wherever he Is. His guest Is a big man Vincent Price, 6 feet 2 inches or so... We hope they are enjoying each other's company, for both of them have entertained us well.” – Brooklyn Daily Eagle Oct 16, 2020 Full Review
