The Odd Couple (1968) – Updated
4 Star Films Posted by 4 Star Film Fan on Mar 22, 2015
By now The Odd Couple is rather like returning to an old group of friends. Jack Lemmon and Walter Matthau never had a better pairing than their turns as Felix Ungar and Oscar Madison. The roles seem to fit each man to the tee or at least they make them their own. Lemmon is as hilarious as ever playi read more

Seven Brides for Seven Brothers (1954)
4 Star Films Posted by 4 Star Film Fan on Mar 19, 2015
The title gives a clear indication of what this Stanley Donen musical will be about, but it does not tell us how we will arrive at that conclusion. It all begins when a woodsman named Adam (Howard Keel) comes to town intent on finding himself a cute and handy bride. That he does in Milly (Jane Powel read more

Pitfall (1948)
4 Star Films Posted by 4 Star Film Fan on Mar 7, 2015
In Italy Pitfall‘s title was translated to Tragedy in Santa Monica. And that it is, but it plays out as a typical, everyday tragedy. It is far from Shakespearian. John Forbes (Dick Powell) is sorely tired of the monotony of his life: A wheel within a wheel within a wheel so to speak. And he is read more
Cry Danger (1951)
4 Star Films Posted by 4 Star Film Fan on Mar 7, 2015

The Crimson Kimono (1959)
4 Star Films Posted by 4 Star Film Fan on Mar 5, 2015
From director Samuel Fuller comes another welcomed addition to his canon. It features the same type of seedy urban landscapes and back alleys of Pick up on South Street (1953) and there are some equally interesting characters like Mac (Anna Lee). It all is underlined by by some sleazy jazz music in read more

The Long Goodbye (1973)
4 Star Films Posted by 4 Star Film Fan on Mar 3, 2015
In the storied tradition of film-noir comes another film in the canon and yet another depiction of Raymond Chandler’s Phillip Marlowe. However, the world with which Robert Altman places his private eye is far different than any place the character has ever inhabited before. Whereas another neo read more
