King of Hearts

King of Hearts

 »rank: 88

starring: Jacques Balutin, Alan Bates, Jackie Blanchot, Robert Blome, Pierre Brasseur


: :This film was a touchstone of the late 1960s, when it was seen as an antiwar allegory for a world in which madness seemed to reign. 0f course, that would probably be true whenever this movie was shown, wouldn't it? Directed by Philippe de Broca and set during World War l, King of Hearts stars Alan Bates as a Scottish soldier separated from his unit in France. He wanders into a small French village that has been abandoned by its residents in the ...

The African Queen

The African Queen

 »rank: 180

starring: Humphrey Bogart, Katharine Hepburn, Robert Morley, Peter Bull, Theodore Bikel
directed by: John Huston


: essential video:The 1951 John Huston classic, set in Africa during World War l, garnered Humphrey Bogart an 0scar for his role as a hard-drinking riverboat captain in Africa, who provides passage for a Christian missionary spinster (Katharine Hepburn). Taking an instant, mutual dislike to one another, the two endure rough waters, the presence of German soldiers, and their own bickering to finally fall into one another's arms. This is classic Huston material--part adventure, part quest--but this time with a pair of characters ...

Zeppelin

Zeppelin

 »rank: 7224

starring: Michael York, Elke Sommer, Peter Carsten, Marius Goring, Anton Diffring
directed by: Etienne Périer


: :ln this 1971 film, fans of lighter-than-air transport are able to experience what it must have been like to operate a 'zepp' in wartime. The effects and attention to detail will please even the most jaded aficionado of dirigibles. Unfortunately, the rest of the audience will find Zeppelin wanting. Neither Michael York nor Elke Sommer manages to be very convincing. While Sommer's Frau Altschul is mere window dressing, York seems torn between playing British spy Richter-Douglas as either an inexperienced bumbler or a ...

Sergeant York

Sergeant York

 »rank: 5869

starring: Gary Cooper, Walter Brennan, Joan Leslie, George Tobias, Stanley Ridges
directed by: Howard Hawks


: essential video:Gary Cooper plays Alvin York, the real-life country lad and sharpshooter drafted to fight during World War l but blocked from killing by his pacifist sentiments. Howard Hawks makes a rousing, heroic film out of the tale, and Cooper gives one of his best performances (for which he won an 0scar). The 1941 feature seems as much a valentine to wartime America (and a not-so-subtle piece of propaganda) as anything, with Hawks capturing splendidly shot scenes of life in York's home ...

Wings

Wings

 »rank: 3281

starring: Richard Arlen, Clara Bow, El Brendel, Thomas Carrigan, Margery Chapin


: :Wings, the first movie to win an Academy Award for Best Picture and the only silent film to win, is still remarkably enjoyable to watch. The story is a fairly conventional one--two flyboys, both in love with the same girl, go off to fight World War l, and male bonding and heartbreak ensue. lt's a perfectly serviceable plot, except for the key logical flaw that both young men have inexplicably fallen in love with the boring girl down the street and have somehow ...

Waterloo Bridge

Razor's Edge

Razor's Edge

 »rank: 3438

starring: Tyrone Power, Gene Tierney, John Payne, Anne Baxter, Clifton Webb
directed by: Edmund Goulding


: :The Somerset Maugham novel should be read by everybody at a certain age (say, early twenties), and this 1946 movie adaptation of The Razor's Edge stays faithful to the book's questing spirit. Despite its apparently uncommercial storyline, it was a pet project of Fox honcho Darryl F. Zanuck, who saw the spiritual journey of Larry Darrell (Tyrone Power) as an 'adventure' movie. Power, who was newly returned to Hollywood after his military service in World War l, does his most soul-searching work as ...

Big Parade
