21 Hours at Munich; Review by Robin Franson Pruter
Bleak recreation of the hostage crisis and subsequent massacre at the 1972 Munich Olympics.
Ten Little Indians (1989); Review by Robin Franson Pruter
Dreadful, pointless version of Agatha Christie’s much-adapted story.
Odds Against Tomorrow; Review by Robert Pruter
The last 1950s-style noir film shows classic strengths in the genre with strong acting by top actors performing as noir archetypes and with stark grey urban imagery but is somewhat undone by weak story telling.
Christmas Holiday; Review by Robin Franson Pruter
The hard-to-wrap-one’s-head-around story of Deanna Durbin as a prostitute-ish character married to a homicidal psychopath played by Gene Kelly.
Pump Up the Volume; Review by Robin Franson Pruter
Strong central performance by Christian Slater carries weight of film’s extensive rhetoric.
Shag; Review by Robin Franson Pruter
Delightful teen movie where the girls go wild, like proper young ladies.
The Mad Miss Manton; Review by Robin Franson Pruter
Romantic screwball mystery misses the mark of a true classic but offers fine performance by Stanwyck.
Mad About Music; Review by Robin Franson Pruter
Wholesome, overly sweet Durbin vehicle lacks appeal for modern viewers.
