No Image for A MAN FOR ALL SEASONS
A MAN FOR ALL SEASONS (1966)

CertificationU Our Rating

A respectable, sincere film of Robert Bolt's literate play, with Scofield as Sir Thomas More, endorsing the divine right of the Pope over and above his King, Henry VIII, who wishes to divorce Katherine Of Aragon and marry Anne Boleyn. Watch out for Orson Welles in a marvellous cameo as Cardinal Wolsey. The film won 6 Oscars. find out more...

DOCTOR IN THE HOUSE (1954)

CertificationU Our Rating

The first of the 7 "Doctor" films, full of med student jokes, innuendo but generally more sophisticated than the Carry On films with which they have much in common. In this, the best of them all, Sparrow begins his 5 years at medical school and is picked up by 3 students doing retakes. Very English. find out more...

I'M ALRIGHT JACK / HEAVENS ABOVE (1959)

CertificationPG Our Rating

A roll-call of British comedians star in two gentle satires:"I'm Alright Jack" is a delicious comic drama about the injustices and stupidities of Britain's class system with Ian Carmichael as a bumbling toff trying to make his way amidst the politics of the industrial workplace, where the Stalinist union representative, Fred Kite, played with sublime skill by Sellers, rants and raves at his upper class oppressors. Winner of the BAFTA for best male lead. find out more...

ON THE WATERFRONT (1954)

CertificationPG Our Rating

Winner of 8 Oscars, this is the story of a misfit who challenges the power of the tough New York Longshoremen's Union. Steiger plays his brother, caught between divided loyalties, and Eve Marie Saint plays the woman he falls in love with. Highly recommended viewing despite its political premises. NB the special pleading on behalf of informers, deriving presumably from the fact that Kazan and Schulberg named names during the McCarthy witch-hunts. find out more...

SEANCE ON A WET AFTERNOON (1964)

CertificationPG Our Rating

Myra is a psychic, or believes herself to be, and becomes obsessed with the desire to reach the very pinnacle of her chosen profession. Enlisting her weak husband as an accomplice Myra kidnaps a young girl and then offers the police her assistance in helping to find her. Séance is a dark brooding tale, more psychological horror than it is thriller, and from the same pen as the 70's cult classic ‘The Stepford Wives'. find out more...

SOME LIKE IT HOT (1959)

CertificationU Our Rating

One of the all-time classics, which surely needs no introduction. A beautifully paced and witty comedy, including Curtis's great parody of Cary Grant's playboy image, and one of the greatest lines of all time.... "Nobody's perfect" when Joe Brown discovers his fiancee is a man.
