Born Yesterday (1950) 95% EDIT “Broderick Crawford turns in another excellent performance as Harry Brock and William Holden proves to be quietly competent as the reporter turned school teacher.” – Montreal Gazette Oct 13, 2025 Full Review White Heat (1949) 94% EDIT “This is the gangster thriller at its very best.” – Montreal Gazette Apr 23, 2024 Full Review The Lavender Hill Mob (1951) 100% EDIT “The whole picture is a comedy masterpiece, and some of the scenes stand out in the memory as real gems. ” – Montreal Gazette Apr 17, 2024 Full Review The Big Heat (1953) 95% EDIT “Glenn Ford, as a cop out after the blood of the local underworld syndicate, is right at home in the type of role he has played often and always well.” – Montreal Gazette Apr 10, 2024 Full Review Sabrina (1954) 89% EDIT “For Sabrina, a story about a chauffeur's daughter who captures the hearts of her father's employer's offspring, makes a delightful film script. Fine direction, good production and a remarkable cast do the rest. ” – Montreal Gazette Mar 28, 2024 Full Review The Searchers (1956) 87% EDIT “A John Ford film is usually something of an event for the serious movie-goer but this one, though it has its moments, doesn't quite measure up to the great director's standards.” – Montreal Gazette Mar 22, 2024 Full Review The Lone Ranger (1956) 90% EDIT “The story is as straightforward as its characters and we must say that we thoroughly enjoyed this little trip back into the past. By the way, we also think that the Lone Ranger is a much better hero for the younger set than Davy Crockett.” – Montreal Gazette Nov 9, 2023 Full Review Gentlemen Prefer Blondes (1953) 88% EDIT “The one or two memorable tunes from the stage score get a good play, with Miss Monroe coming through as a fine vocalist. ” – Montreal Gazette Mar 8, 2023 Full Review Sayonara (1957) 82% EDIT “The performances turned in by the high-priced cast are on a generally high level.” – Montreal Gazette Mar 2, 2023 Full Review Flower Drum Song (1961) 79% EDIT “A weak story that has its faults underlined by a substandard score. ” – Montreal Gazette Feb 27, 2023 Full Review Requiem for a Heavyweight (1962) 89% EDIT “The screen-play has been very well written and the acting is so far above average as to be memorable. ” – Montreal Gazette Feb 7, 2023 Full Review Stalag 17 (1953) 91% EDIT “What happened here between the stage and the screen we wouldn't venture to say but what was hailed as a hit play on Broadway has been turned into something leas than that as a picture.” – Montreal Gazette Nov 5, 2022 Full Review Curtain Up (1952) EDIT “There is enough slapstick comedy during the run of the production to keep everyone amused. ” – Montreal Gazette Sep 20, 2022 Full Review High Noon (1952) 94% EDIT “Across the arid entertainment desert of the Hollywood horse opera we come across a production that provides an oasis that makes the long trip seem worthwhile. Stagecoach was one, The Gunfighter another and now we have High Noon.” – Montreal Gazette Sep 20, 2022 Full Review La Strada (1954) 98% EDIT “It has simplicity of story, theme and production and it has a feeling for humanity that at times brings sharp tears to the eyes.” – Montreal Gazette Sep 14, 2022 Full Review Kind Hearts and Coronets (1949) 100% EDIT “The ideal film would, of course, have... the most talented director in the canvas chair a superbly-written screen-play and the best possible cast. This British comedy has come so close to this mark that it is difficult to see how it could be improved.” – Montreal Gazette Mar 30, 2022 Full Review No Time for Sergeants (1958) 60% EDIT “Mr. Griffith made his name in this role and after watching him for five minutes it is easy to see why.” – Montreal Gazette Mar 23, 2022 Full Review Gigi (1958) 90% EDIT “With Leslie Caron in the title role and Hermione Gingold, Maurice Chevalier, Louis Jourdan, Isabel Jeans and Eva Gabor surrounding her no film could possibly miss.” – Montreal Gazette Mar 23, 2022 Full Review From Here to Eternity (1953) 88% EDIT “Up in now we have regarded Sinatra as a competent crooner who belonged in light musicals. Now we must revise our opinion and classify him as an excellent dramatic actor.” – Montreal Gazette Mar 15, 2022 Full Review Cleo From 5 to 7 (1961) 93% EDIT “It is different and let us enjoy it for its difference. Also let us thank Agnes Varda for some thoughtful and delicate direction.” – Montreal Gazette Feb 17, 2022 Full Review Porgy and Bess (1959) 71% EDIT “Perhaps best and the shortest way of praising this film, and it deserves all the accolades it gets, is to say that for anyone who is not familiar with or has never seen George Gershwin's folk opera, this is the finest possible introduction.” – Montreal Gazette Jan 19, 2022 Full Review West Side Story (1961) 92% EDIT “Hollywood has freed this remarkable musical from the confines of the stage and in so doing so has for the most part given it a fresh lease on life.” – Montreal Gazette Dec 2, 2021 Full Review The Bridge on the River Kwai (1957) 96% EDIT “[Alec Guinness] plays the role with the meticulous care he lavishes on all his parts, but he also breathes more life into the character than any other screen actor could.” – Montreal Gazette Nov 17, 2021 Full Review Paths of Glory (1957) 96% EDIT “That is the shocking story and it is told with a stark realism that quite literally gives one the shivers.” – Montreal Gazette Nov 17, 2021 Full Review Marty (1955) 96% EDIT “This is probably one of the best American film that has been produced. It has all the simplicity of the immediate post-war Italian pictures combined with a truly touching and human theme.” – Montreal Gazette Oct 18, 2021 Full Review
