The Day the Earth Stood Still (1951) 93% EDIT “The best I can say of this costly picture is that it is a combination of H.G. Wells and the Frankenstein series -- a combination of the worst parts of both. ” – Daily Telegraph (Australia) Jan 16, 2026 Full Review A Place in the Sun (1951) 90% EDIT “Here is one of the most intelligent and absorbing films for many years. It has everything in it that is required to make a good film — good acting, dialogue, photography, music, and direction.” – Daily Telegraph (Australia) Jan 13, 2026 Full Review Alice in Wonderland (1951) 83% EDIT “From the moment Alice tumbles down the White Rabbit's tunnel until she awakes from her dream, Walt Disney (and his staff of experts) transport you to such a wonderland of color and delight that it takes you a while to get back to normal.” – Daily Telegraph (Australia) Jan 8, 2026 Full Review White Heat (1949) 94% EDIT “You get to expect bustling, punching, and shooting from Cagney, and he certainly doesn’t let you down in his performance as Cody Jarrett, a dirty little tough with a highly developed Oedipus complex.” – Daily Telegraph (Australia) Apr 22, 2024 Full Review A Perilous Journey (1953) EDIT “The journey is more tedious than perilous. ” – Daily Telegraph (Australia) Feb 23, 2024 Full Review The Hitch-Hiker (1953) 94% EDIT “For suspense, this film nearly breaches the heights of Gary Cooper's High Noon.” – Daily Telegraph (Australia) Feb 24, 2021 Full Review The Bad and the Beautiful (1952) 80% EDIT “The film gets full marks for dialogue and full marks for direction by Vincente Minnelli.” – Daily Telegraph (Australia) Aug 31, 2020 Full Review Winchester '73 (1950) 100% EDIT “Yes -- it's another frontier saga type, but the acting of James Stewart, Shelly Winters, Dan Duryea, and Stephen McNally lift it from the rut.” – Daily Telegraph (Australia) Apr 15, 2020 Full Review Wyoming Mail (1950) 86% EDIT “Technicolor adds a great deal to the picture with some splendid shots of Western scenery.” – Daily Telegraph (Australia) Apr 15, 2020 Full Review Born Yesterday (1950) 95% EDIT “Humor good, dialogue excellent, story fair.” – Daily Telegraph (Australia) Mar 23, 2020 Full Review Pandora and the Flying Dutchman (1951) 68% EDIT “As a whole the film is a daring departure and one which may leave many people perplexed.” – Daily Telegraph (Australia) Feb 21, 2020 Full Review An American in Paris (1951) 95% EDIT “In the words of Gershwin's own song -- S'Wonderful!” – Daily Telegraph (Australia) Feb 6, 2020 Full Review All About Eve (1950) 99% EDIT “I'm full of praise for the penetrating characterisations, the scathing satire, the bright dialogue, the spiked humor.” – Daily Telegraph (Australia) Feb 5, 2020 Full Review From Here to Eternity (1953) 88% EDIT “Sometimes -- but all too rarely -- I see a film, the scenes from which stay with me for a long time after the closing sequence. From Here To Eternity is one of those films.” – Daily Telegraph (Australia) Feb 4, 2020 Full Review
