Perhaps the premier John Steinbeck adaptation, East of Eden rides an emotive cast led by James Dean to a heartbreaking but cathartic conclusion. - DirectorBilly WilderStarsMarilyn MonroeTom EwellEvelyn KeyesWhen his family goes away for the summer, a hitherto faithful husband with an overactive imagination is tempted by a beautiful neighbor.9/10
Featuring another innocently charming performance from Marilyn Monroe, The Seven Year Itch is a shrewd screwball comedy getting some choice jabs in on the male ego. - DirectorClyde GeronimiWilfred JacksonHamilton LuskeStarsBarbara LuddyLarry RobertsPeggy LeeThe romantic tale of a sheltered uptown Cocker Spaniel dog and a streetwise downtown Mutt.8/10
Thoroughly charming in its canine courtship, Lady and the Tramp is a breezy, affable effort from Disney, some outdated stereotypes notwithstanding. - DirectorFred ZinnemannStarsGordon MacRaeGloria GrahameGene NelsonIn Oklahoma, several farmers, cowboys and a traveling salesman compete for the romantic favors of various local ladies.7/10
Though the movie is tonally inconsistent and a bit quaint - even by classic musical standards - some impressive cinematography and memorable numbers will indeed have you shouting Oklahoma! - DirectorJack ArnoldStarsJohn AgarMara CordayLeo G. CarrollA spider escapes from an isolated Arizona desert laboratory experimenting in gigantism and grows to tremendous size as it wreaks havoc on the local inhabitants.6/10
Stuck somewhere between camp and genuine unease, Tarantula for all its faults is an enjoyable exercise in science-fiction and horror with solid special effects for its time. - DirectorMotoyoshi OdaIshirô HondaStarsHiroshi KoizumiSetsuko WakayamaMinoru ChiakiScout pilots for a fishing company are startled to discover a second Godzilla, whose battle with rival monster Anguirus threatens to destroy Osaka.5/10
Godzilla Raids Again does well in introducing some kaiju-on-kaiju action, but it ultimately can't help but feel like a hefty step down in every sense from the original. - DirectorCharles LaughtonStarsRobert MitchumShelley WintersLillian GishA self-proclaimed preacher marries a gullible widow whose young children are reluctant to tell him where their real dad hid the $10,000 he'd stolen in a robbery.4/10
Robert Mitchum carries around an effective sense of menace throughout, however The Night of the Hunter is unconvincing and contrived in every other aspect.
