This is an excellent movie. I can't beleive all the scroogy reviews on this site. This film is a little known gem with a good story, good acting and great cinematography. It's as entertaining as the cover art on the dvd is cool. If you like that, ...

It was a rainy night at the Paramount Theater in Provo Utah 47 years ago when I first saw this flick. Back then, aside from the dynamite Elmer Bernstein score, I found it vague and mostly unfathomable. But I'm older and hopefully wiser now, and life has ...

I'd rate this 4.2 stars but gave it 5 above to encourage buyers to support DVD manufacturing of smaller, more obscure titles. Consumers need more rarities to continue to surface :)

I first saw this film many years ago on TV & always remembered the soundtrack and the nobility of the hero's quest. Its an excellent and bizarre Southern melodrama with great performances by a very young Jane Fonda and Barbara Stanwyck. The music and ...

When Hollywood attempted to loosen the strictures of the Hays code in the 50s and 60s it often turned to the Southern Gothic as a way for testing permissibility because everything they hinted at could easily be chalked up to Southern decadence; this 1962 ...

Elmer Bernstein's beautiful Jazz theme and Saul Bass' sensuously lyric opening credits set the tone for this tale of Dove Linkhorn and his search for his lost love Hallie Gerard through the tough underbelly of 1930's New Orleans. These opening shots of a ...
