Sergeant Rutledge (1960)
91%
“Woody Strode gets his biggest break in his 10-year movie career and makes good use of it by effectively portraying the simple-but-strong Sergeant Rutledge. It is his picture all the way, even though he does not receive star billing.” –

Jazz on a Summer's Day (1959)
97%
“Most films on jazz subjects usually fail to capture the heartbeat of the music in visual as well as musical terms; very rarely have jazzmen in action been presented on film with intimacy and warmth. [This film] succeeds where others have failed.” –

Anna Lucasta (1958)
44%
“Although on the screen Anna is more sinned against than sinning, the movie wrings some startlingly fine performances from its stars, Eartha Kitt in the title role, and Sammy Davis Jr., as the sailor with a gleam in his eye.” –
