Funny Lady (1975)

“The director, Herbert Ross, does not seem able to make Miss Streisand's very personal, and evidently very fragile talent bloom at all, as did William Wyler with the earlier film.” –

Monty Python and the Holy Grail (1975)

“Historical burlesque is really far too obvious and too familiar for the usually unpredictable Monty Python team of writers and actors, and they get terribly bogged down in Arthurian England, circa AD 932.” –

Rancho Deluxe (1975)

“All the ingredients are here... for a very boisterous illustration of the decline of the West, only it just never quite gets off the ground. The players seem right. I suspect the script, as so often.” –

“With 16 Cole Porter songs... and elaborate settings in the now favourite 'thirties period, it might seem impossible to go wrong, but Mr. Bogdanovich achieves the impossible very thoroughly indeed.” –

Nashville (1975)

“Not every characters makes his mark, but enough of the comedies come off to make the gains of this deadpan, take-it-or-leave-it style seem, at least to me, far to outweigh the losses.” –

The Yakuza (1974)

“This American film... has to get its star, Robert Mitchum, to Tokyo to find the Yakuza, which calls for an incredible and unfathomable rigamarole based on Mr Mitchum having been there 30 years before.” –

Barry Lyndon (1975)

“Kubrick has re-drawn the characters and re-written the narrative in a way completely to reverse Thackeray's intentions. The result is not a brutal, boisterous story, but one that's slow and sentimental.” –
