An Italian immigrant to the US becomes a World-famous romantic film star but dies young.
In Wikipedia, Charlie Chaplin described Valentino as the shy, introverted friend. Valentino is not depicted like this in this movie, rather as a cad and womaniser that makes him difficult to like. More of a love story, a kind of half-biopic, interesting none the less. 5/10
A model's relationship with her lover, a blackmailing, cocaine-snorting artist, and her admirer, a wealthy, repressed, middle-aged aesthete, leads to violence.
There's a line in a Monty Python sketch that goes "I may not know much about art, but I know what I like". It seemed like this movie was made to shock, nudity a plenty, a lesbian scene, all accompanied by an operatic score. I found it to be pretentious and boring. 2/10
Editing is a little clumsy, woman being mistaken as a boy is laughable but there are some decent scenes throughout with well built tension. 6/10
Slightly misleading, I think Donald was only in two scenes. Semi-documentary, most interesting to see clips of people going about their lives in years gone by. Did make me laugh a couple of times, just a bit of an odd movie and very short. 5/10
During their 40th anniversary celebrations, a married couple look back to their courtship days at college.
Set around the fraternity scene at Knox College, everything that the students got up to seems so tame, not a patch on the outrageous 'Animal House' but had occasional moments. 4/10
A hospital doctor persuades a gangster friend to help a woman find her missing child.
The screen debut of Dr Kildare and he comes into the company of Barbara Stanwyck. Kildare is a bit like Macgyver and uses everything around him to aid in operations. Movie can't quite make up its mind whether it's a medical drama or a crime drama but the ending is beautifully done. 6/10
Three old ladies escape from a home to an Irish island.
Utterly bonkers and yet charming. It's full on and quite exhausting to watch, once you set yourself at piece with the goings on, it is good fun and made me laugh out loud a few times. 7/10
