Fail-Safe (1964) 93% “It's a well done television play that somehow got on a large screen where its literate but talky script and excellent acting can't make up for the lack of action or monotony of pace that so bog it down.” – Los Angeles Free Press Feb 5, 2020 Full Review Topkapi (1964) 95% “It's strictly entertainment, but Peter Ustinov and Robert Morley are worth it for fun even without the ingenious jewel robbery around which this colorful spoof focuses.” – Los Angeles Free Press Feb 5, 2020 Full Review Ashes and Diamonds (1958) 96% “This honest film shows a greater degree of artistic and political freedom in Poland (at least in 1959) than we are led to expect.” – Los Angeles Free Press Feb 5, 2020 Full Review Cleopatra (1963) 56% “Worth a look.... for a single performance: Rex Harrison as Caesar.” – Los Angeles Free Press Feb 5, 2020 Full Review Joy House (1964) 33% “Though Joy House, with its pyramid of tricks, chases, surprises, secret panels - the lot - never quite thinks to poke the finger of fun at itself, viewers make no such mistake.” – Los Angeles Free Press Feb 5, 2020 Full Review Becket (1964) 75% “Worth a look... for a single performance:... Peter O'Toole as Becket's king, Henry II.” – Los Angeles Free Press Feb 5, 2020 Full Review The Kitchen (1961) “Arnold Wesker's off-beat and interesting view of a restaurant kitchen as a microcosmic world tells some truths about us all. A good film, often hard to find.” – Los Angeles Free Press Feb 5, 2020 Full Review Zorba the Greek (1964) 79% “[Director Michael] Cacoyannis' skills as a craftsman are considerable.” – Los Angeles Free Press Feb 5, 2020 Full Review The Americanization of Emily (1964) 92% “Despite a title which smacks of war-bride sop, [the film] is in some ways the most impressive film since Strangelove.” – Los Angeles Free Press Feb 5, 2020 Full Review 36 Hours (1964) 83% “Even when it becomes just another spy thriller, it's as well done as the best of the genre.” – Los Angeles Free Press Feb 5, 2020 Full Review “When the Intellectual brings the pretense of Art and Sophistication to the screen, it is fair to demand from him something of value: cinematic art preferably; but at least a snatch of content.” – Los Angeles Free Press Jan 28, 2020 Full Review Seance on a Wet Afternoon (1964) 82% “I found the film dull because its theatrical conception robbed me of involvement with the characters.” – Los Angeles Free Press Jan 24, 2020 Full Review Free, White and 21 (1963) “This is an insidious piece of propaganda, the more dangerous for its clever stab at realism.” – Los Angeles Free Press Jan 24, 2020 Full Review Arturo's Island (1963) “[Director Damiano] Damiani handles the explosive, though not new, father-wife-son triangle with deific delicacy.” – Los Angeles Free Press Jan 24, 2020 Full Review Family Diary (1962) “There's an audience for this. We were not it, and found it impossible to stay to the end.” – Los Angeles Free Press Jan 24, 2020 Full Review I Vitelloni (1953) 100% “Probably no one since Chaplin has so well revealed the moments of simultaneous humor and tragedy which underscore human life.” – Los Angeles Free Press Jan 24, 2020 Full Review Children of Paradise (1945) 98% “If acting and directing awards were given but once in a century, Carne, Barrault and Brasseur would still be nominees.” – Los Angeles Free Press Jan 24, 2020 Full Review 007: Goldfinger (1964) 99% “The third, and by far the best, of the Bond jobs.” – Los Angeles Free Press Jan 24, 2020 Full Review The Ape Woman (1964) 100% “Annie Girardot and Ugo Tognazzi give beautiful performances, which together with Ferreri's delicate taste and fine eye for detail make this far-out story unbelievably believable.” – Los Angeles Free Press Jan 24, 2020 Full Review Friends for Life (1955) “Director Rossi tells this story with a disarming simplicity, sticking as he should to the wealth of small details which are the real events in a boy's life.” – Los Angeles Free Press Jan 24, 2020 Full Review The Troublemaker (1964) “Much of the humor works and some of the satire is brilliant.” – Los Angeles Free Press Jan 24, 2020 Full Review The Pumpkin Eater (1964) 69% “Miss Bancroft's performance is in a class few besides Garbo and Ingrid Bergman have ever achieved on the screen.” – Los Angeles Free Press Jan 24, 2020 Full Review Night Must Fall (1964) “If you're thinking of Psycho, this is much, much better.” – Los Angeles Free Press Jan 24, 2020 Full Review Bicycle Thieves (1948) 99% “So immediate is the reality of its experience that the audience seldom notices the excellence of its directorial craftsmanship.” – Los Angeles Free Press Jan 24, 2020 Full Review Bus Riders Union (2000) “The superb documentary photography and brilliant editing have resulted... in a succession of images which accumulate meaning right to the end.” – Los Angeles Free Press Jan 24, 2020 Full Review
