A Raisin in the Sun
(1961)
|
Louie Robinson
|
Lorraine Hansberry’s brilliant Broadway play has been transferred to the motion picture screen with all of its earthy drama and humor intact -- a rare feat in moviemaking.

To Kill a Mockingbird
(1962)
|
Allan Morrison

A moving, mature and socially responsible production which emphatically reveals the power and promise latent in Hollywood and made visible only when its unique resources are properly used.

La Dolce Vita
(1960)
|
Gerri Major
|
Fellini is noted for his mastery of contrasts, his uncanny ability to find off-beat and bizarre occurrences which expose both the little and gross facets of life... Its impact is violent. Its irony is grim. Its wit is sardonic. Its pathos is awesome.

Elmer Gantry
(1960)
|
Gerri Major
|
The film does not attack the church; it exposes those who misuse religion for profit and turn the solemnity of our church service into a revival circus. The result of Brooks’ license with the novel is a motion picture that holds you spellbound.

A Taste of Honey
(1961)

Allan Morrison

A truly distinguished, brilliantly-written, splendidly acted adaptation of Shelagh Delaney's play... The film is a striking example of the power of the screen to enhance and enrich a good play.

Cinderfella
(1960)
|
Gerri Major
|
Jerry Lewis is a very funny fellow, and there are scenes in his latest film, Cinderfella, that will fracture you. But in this [film], the comic situations are ridden so long and so persistently that they eventually cease to be funny - at least for adults.

Ocean's Eleven
(1960)
|
Allan Morrison
|
Some of it is funny, but the whole piece never knits together into a believable whole because it is based on a terribly contrived screenplay and because Dir. Milestone obviously couldn’t decide whether to play it straight or satirical.

Flower Drum Song

Sergeant Rutledge

Woody Strode gets his biggest break in his 10-year movie career and makes good use of it by effectively portraying the simple-but-strong Sergeant Rutledge. It is his picture all the way, even though he does not receive star billing.

Most films on jazz subjects usually fail to capture the heartbeat of the music in visual as well as musical terms; very rarely have jazzmen in action been presented on film with intimacy and warmth. [This film] succeeds where others have failed.
