Vivacious Lady (1938, George Stevens)
The Stop Button Posted by Andrew Wickliffe on Jul 21, 2018
Vivacious Lady strengths easily outweigh its weaknesses, but those weaknesses have a way of compounding on each other as the film moves to its conclusion. The most obvious–and usually forgiveable–problem is how the film can’t decide what to do with Ginger Rogers, the Vivacious Lady. Not the film, read more
Giant (1956, George Stevens)
The Stop Button Posted by Andrew Wickliffe on Feb 25, 2018
Giant has a fairly good pace for running three hours and twenty minutes.

The Stop Button Posted by Andrew Wickliffe on Jan 25, 2015
The More the Merrier is a wondrous mix of comedy (both slapstick and screwball) and dramatic, war-time romance.

One of the great, if often unheralded American directors, it is astounding when you look at the breadth of George Stevens work. His catalogue of films rivals those of the other American greats such as John Ford, Howard Hawks, Frank Capra, and William Wyler. His films also evolved over time as he cha read more
