4 Star Films Posted by 4 Star Film Fan on Aug 8, 2014

Starring Henry Fonda, Dana Andrews, Harry Morgan, Anthony Quinn, and many more, the film begins with two drifters (Fonda and Morgan) who enter a small western town. Soon it gets around that a man is dead and some of his cattle were also stolen. Hurriedly, a posse is put together and they ride off to read more

City Lights (1931) – Updated

4 Star Films Posted by 4 Star Film Fan on Aug 8, 2014

This film opens with the Tramp in all his glory sleeping on a statue during its public unveiling. He is rudely awakened and shooed off on his way. He drifts down the boulevards finally meeting a lowly flower girl, showing her kindness before moving on. Although I am partial to Paulette Goddard, Virg read more

The Third Man (1949) – Updated

4 Star Films Posted by 4 Star Film Fan on Aug 8, 2014

Then, you we are fed a casual bit of narration that quickly throws us into the story of western writer Holly Martins (Joseph Cotten), as he heads to Vienna to meet his old school chum Harry Lime (to be revealed later!). It seems safe to say that World War II was not good to the city, which is a mixt read more

The Band Wagon (1953)

4 Star Films Posted by 4 Star Film Fan on Aug 7, 2014

Going into this film I must admit that despite hearing good things, I had zero expectations. I must say I was pleasantly surprised by this Minnelli musical, because it was a deft and often beautiful production. Channeling the same vein as Singin’ in the Rain and The Red Shoes, this film is a s read more

Review: Modern Times (1936)

4 Star Films Posted by 4 Star Film Fan on Aug 6, 2014

Modern Times: A story of industry, individual enterprise, humanity crusading in the pursuit of happiness With those words Charlie Chaplin’s Modern Times opens with the final installment of The Little Tramp. Clocking in at a little under 90 minutes, Chaplin is still able to do so much, because read more

Indiscreet (1958)

4 Star Films Posted by 4 Star Film Fan on Aug 6, 2014

This is a solid romantic comedy which pairs the legendary Cary Grant and Ingrid Bergman one last time. Bergman is a well-known actress who has success, but has never experienced true love. Then she meets Philip Adams, a man who literally walks up to her door since he is a friend of her brother-in-la read more

Walk, Don’t Run (1966)

4 Star Films Posted by 4 Star Film Fan on Aug 6, 2014

This was the last screen performance of legendary actor Cary Grant and for once he is not the one getting the girl. This time he is the matchmaker in this adaption of the earlier classic The More the Merrier. Grant’s character finds himself in Tokyo during the 1964 Olympics and the only room h read more

It Happened One Night (1934) – Updated

4 Star Films Posted by 4 Star Film Fan on Aug 5, 2014

Hopefully no one holds this against me, but I have never been a big fan of Claudette Colbert. However, I will say that I am a Capra aficionado and Clark Gable is certainly a classic Hollywood star who is dynamic in this film. Thus, despite my hangups with Colbert, I can still thoroughly enjoy this r read more

Harvey (1950) – Updated

4 Star Films Posted by 4 Star Film Fan on Aug 5, 2014

Why am I so infatuated by Harvey you ask? Let me clarify that. I’m not talking about the title rabbit. Why am I so enamored by this fantastical film from 1950? It all stems from Jimmy Stewart as Elwood P. Dowd, which was undoubtedly one of the most unique and remarkable performances in his sto read more
