The Caine Mutiny (1954)
95%
“It is to the everlasting credit of the motion picture industry... that in recent months there have been so many excellent translations into screen terms of great books. Standing preeminently high in that category [is] The Caine Mutiny.” –

The Big Heat (1953)
94%
“The story, fashioned in standard mold, is heightened by a good production polish... An effective performance by Ford is matched by the gun moll characterization of Gloria Grahame and that of the gangland czar by Alexander Scourby.” –

Boy! What a Girl (1947)
80%
“A generous offering of melodious tidbits are served in [Boy! What a Girl!]... A good deal of comedy and clowning are also thrown in, and as a special attraction, Gene Krupa makes a guest star appearance.” –

Detour (1945)
98%
“Venturing far from the familiar melodramatic pattern, director Edgar G. Ulmer has turned out an adroit, albeit unpretentious production about a man who stumbles into a series of circumstances which seal his doom.” –
