533,084 | 70,535 | 113,238 | 7 | Gunhawk slings lead , tough men fall dead | I liked this one ok even though it was filled with overzealous actors who either paid no attention to their director or this manager offered no direction at all . The facial expressions and body movements were so overdone as to be hilarious . The one player who had any experience with gun handling was relegated to play... |
532,874 | 70,535 | 62,467 | 7 | Don't wait until dark to see this one | Terrifying look at how innocent lives can be changed with one simple chance meeting . Why Susie didn't just give the doll back as soon as she found it is beyond me . The hoods would have fought it out for the loot and maybe killed each other . Then again , perhaps one of them would have returned anyway . Very effective... |
532,917 | 70,535 | 70,030 | 7 | Sadistic yard bull takes on the King of the Road | Ernest Borgnine was superb as the murderous railroad agent intent on keeping a legendary hobo off his train . Lee Marvin gave one of his best performances as A # 1 , the hobo's hobo , who is equally set on riding the rails on Borgnine's unrideable # 19 . Keith Carradine almost stole the show as a useless , me first pun... |
532,906 | 70,535 | 57,076 | 7 | Pretty good Bond film | The opening scenes showing " Bond " getting strangled set the stage for one of the screen's best bad guys - Red Grant . What an animal ! His crazy trainer with her brass knucks and switchblade boots ran a close second as a really ugly heavy . This was Bond at his best ; none of that silly Roger Moore junk . Tame by tod... |
533,062 | 70,535 | 104,452 | 7 | Lonely woman needs love and affection | Totally hilarious comedy with the adorable Goldie superbly playing a con artist who b . s . ' s her way into the lives of a group of complete strangers , upsetting the existence of many and enriching others . One of Goldie's and Martin's best . |
532,984 | 70,535 | 78,841 | 7 | Interesting but not funny | I found nothing remotely amusing about this film , yet it was easy to continue watching just to see where it was leading . Having never been a fan of Sellers [ he simply doesn't make me laugh ] , I went into this picture figuring it would be another dud . I suppose it should have been comical that so many otherwise int... |
533,422 | 70,535 | 62,482 | 7 | life is hard in a small frontier town | A struggling small town in the late 1800's is invaded by a psychopathic gunman . Nobody is willing to stand up to him , therefore he has his way and rides off . New residents come and re-build , only to find the man returns . The townspeople must either have the courage to face him or perish . Excellent western dealing... |
532,596 | 70,535 | 43,379 | 7 | Stuffed shirt British sea cap'n fights and loves his way across the 7 seas | The good cap'n does battle with the evil Napoleon Bonaparte , while wooing the lovely Lady Wellesley . Lots of canvas fell on folks heads as the cannon roared , but Cap'n H . and his lusty lads prevailed . This was a good show with colorful costumes and some nice action sequences , but some of the dialogue was a tad ho... |
532,374 | 70,535 | 113,269 | 7 | Good spooky mystery | I am not usually scared by spook films and this one was no exception . However , I considered it to be a good mystery with a chilling twist . A college professor of psychology is called to a home to prove or disprove the presence of ghosts which appear to be haunting the mistress of the house . Lots of creepy things ha... |
532,368 | 70,535 | 102,652 | 7 | Wicked widow weaves web , woos , weds & wastes | Had this film been a submarine it would have sunk in shallow water from all the holes . This woman was so psychotic she couldn't have hidden her condition from a half witted , blind , ten year old . She had more problems than a certain gentleman driving a white Bronco down an L . A . freeway . All her victims sported a... |
533,052 | 70,535 | 137,146 | 7 | Kids today got no respect | Exciting drama about a talented and gifted sociopath and his 2 excitement loving buddies who , after noticing a man , begin a crusade to not just annoy the man but to really mess up his life . These plans go from crank calls to low grade terror tactics and finally to life altering problems for him and his family . Good... |
532,357 | 70,535 | 223,897 | 7 | Idealistic piffle . . . . but still a good show | This was one of those little heartstring pullers which appear plausible until one enters the human equation and then the whole house of cards falls . The writer would have the viewer believe that one can enter a compound of junkies , thieves , murderers , and assorted trash and leave intact . Welcome to the unreal worl... |
533,363 | 70,535 | 64,747 | 7 | Brother against brother | I liked this one but I'll be damned if I know why . The story was almost impossible to understand , the acting was second rate ; maybe it was the location shots , props , and costumes . That always helps . Confusing , but entertaining . |
533,467 | 70,535 | 100,680 | 7 | Life is tough | Very good drama although it appeared to have a few blank areas leaving the viewers to fill in the action for themselves . I can imagine life being this way for someone who can neither read nor write . This film simply smacked of the real world : the wife who is suddenly the sole supporter , the live-in relatives and th... |
532,563 | 70,535 | 160,009 | 7 | Could have named this " The Art of Charlie's Angels " | Everybody knows Wesley is a bad mother , right ? Not this bad though : some of the jumps he made would have bought the black 007 a bevy of busted limbs . As in all spy shows I was totally baffled as to what was going on : but who cares , I like watching Wes work . Plenty of excitement , blood , guns , karate and babes ... |
532,992 | 70,535 | 119,848 | 7 | Decent enough comedy | I got a few laughs out of this one , more than a lot of other so called comedies . The big ship was a knockout and getting to see a lot of it's scenery was fun : as was getting to see some of Dyan Cannon's curves . This wasn't the height of Lemmon's and Mattheau's career , but it wasn't a total dog as some suggest . |
533,064 | 70,535 | 162,222 | 7 | Fed-Ex delivers package way too late | Very good drama with Hanks doing a superb job of convincing the viewer he is all alone with only a ball for company . I liked the way the film ended exactly where it began with Hanks looking down a long stretch of highway . I was left wondering if he would go on ahead or turn back . Great picture : terrific finale . |
532,486 | 70,535 | 78,764 | 7 | Old Skinflint gets spooks in his pants | Miserly businessman gives up the love of his life , the respect of his friends , and the ability to enjoy life for the lust of filthy lucre , the pride of ambition , and the euphoria of being the wealthiest man in town . Misery was his constant bedfellow until a vision of a lonely , unloved future is presented to him i... |
533,524 | 70,535 | 91,738 | 7 | Time travel or a dream ? | Loved this film . Turner stole the show as she got off some catchy one liners , playing the part of a teen with an experienced mind to perfection . Very smooth and well done film with good performances by the entire cast . Captured the feel of the high school set all the way , except some of the " teens " looked closer... |
533,086 | 70,535 | 39,536 | 7 | I liked Udo : he was a happy , cheerful , friendly psychotic murderer | Pretty good one from days long gone by . This was made in the day when a guy gets shot and no holes appear in his jacket nor does he bleed . The story was a tad pat and mostly unbelievable but still provided some solid entertainment due to Mature's brooding Nick and Widmark's happy-go-lucky strong arm boy . |
532,369 | 70,535 | 109,335 | 7 | Is this all there is to marriage ? | Interesting day in the life of a long time married couple who cope with each other's ways . They obviously don't always get along , their kids are alienated and maladjusted ; their life is mundane and purposeless . I got a few laughs but also felt somewhat disgruntled while viewing the nothing lives of these folks and ... |
532,508 | 70,535 | 65,780 | 7 | How about renaming this one " Gimme Mick " | Fairly good look at the Stones on tour . I disliked the way the concert footage had the camera focusing on Mick most of the time . There were other musicians on stage with him , why not spread the camera around a bit more ? There was a little too much of the camera zooming in on someone who either just sat there and st... |
533,499 | 70,535 | 171,546 | 7 | Murder isn't always done for free | Not being a Gene Wilder fan , the memory of Haunted Honeymoon being too fresh , I almost didn't watch this one . Glad , glad , double glad I did . The whole thing smacked of the 30's with all the hairstyles , props and settings , and all the well preserved cars . An excellent whodunnit that had me guessing all the way ... |
533,544 | 70,535 | 57,012 | 7 | crazy look inside a war room | I hope the people running things are not as stupid as the morons in this film . An insane U . S . general starts in motion the sequence to send nuclear destruction on the Russians . They , of course , begin their's . Then the 2 sides begin a conference of negotiations , culminating in the cessation of all hostilities .... |
532,516 | 70,535 | 162,236 | 7 | This kid needed the web | When a sex crazed little boy is sent to another town for the summer he abandons his quest to see a couple ' doing it ' . Thinking the entire summer will be a shambles the last thing he expected was to meet several other like minded youngsters . Thus began a summer of voyeurism and peeping tomism to be always remembered... |
532,817 | 70,535 | 102,598 | 7 | Nothing better than love . . . . unless it would be $10 million in gold coins . . . . face value , of course | Good little romantic comedy showing 2 social outcasts falling for each other out of sheer desperation . Things are lovely until the girl discovers her boyfriend is overly attached to his mommy and appears to be unable to break the maternal ties . O'Hara was a howl as the doating mom . Funny stuff : this and " Planes , ... |
532,551 | 70,535 | 165,798 | 7 | Overweight , goofy looking killer imagines he's a deep thinking warrior | Interesting serious comedy dealing with a loner with ambitions to knock off a gang of hoods while spouting thought provoking Zen quotes from a book he's reading . This leads to lots of gunplay along with some of the goofiest dialog and one liners I've heard in a long time . The interplay between the assassin and a Fren... |
532,603 | 70,535 | 284,519 | 7 | The Queen of Rock n ' Roll rocks on a rock | Interesting , but somewhat disjointed rockumentary showing Stevie and band doing several of her hit songs . This film does what a lot of these concert footage shows do and that is throw in the overdubbed " screensaver " crap instead of leaving the camera where it belongs . . . . on the performer . The high point of the... |
533,107 | 70,535 | 117,826 | 7 | Not a bad vampire spoof | Dennis Miller was funny . The film was pretty good , but I would have preferred a more serious undertaking . Lots of good looking women , gruesome makeup , and campy devices made for a good time . Miller's character appealed to me ; I like a tough , wise cracking detective with a heart of gold . I found the ending tota... |
532,774 | 70,535 | 190,590 | 7 | O Brother , don't bother | First off , what was the big trip with the soundtrack ? Next , what was the big deal with this pointless film ? It was merely a succession of unbelievable acts thrown together so a man could get back his useless wife who only wanted a man who had his " bonafides " in place . It had a few interesting moments but far mor... |
533,528 | 70,535 | 55,257 | 7 | Hardened criminal falls for senorita | Good western featuring Karl Malden in his usual nasty , backstabbing role . Brando was good as the brooding gunslinger who was bent on revenge until he fell for a Mexican girl . Not a lot of action , but the little that did occur was realistic and well done , especially for a film made in 1961 . A little slow in spots ... |
532,383 | 70,535 | 120,303 | 7 | Ever felt like an outsider ? Sure , lots of times . | Interesting and well done look at the American pop scene in the sexy sixties . Featuring a oversexed , insecure loser named Karchy who teams up with another oversexed loser disc jockey intent on preying and playing just one more gig in the nowhere business of top 40 music . The charismatic DJ , a burned out cynic , has... |
533,284 | 70,535 | 85,333 | 7 | Dee-troit don't make ' em like this anymore | If they did I wouldn't be required to get behind the wheel anymore and what a joy that would be . With this auto the owner's body repair bills would be zilch . I loved the flaming car scene ; had be rolling in the floor . Actually , I'd love to own this car : I would be guaranteed never to be bothered by anyone . . . .... |
532,604 | 70,535 | 52,837 | 7 | Funny , well written comedy | Ford was hilarious as a blackmailing victim who decides to end his troubles with a simple murder . From the first nothing goes right , with everything under the sun conspiring against him , as he goes nuts trying to hide the body and keep it hidden . The murder scene was a total riot . |
532,818 | 70,535 | 104,850 | 7 | I just can't see Chevy Chase in this role | I'll start out by saying I've never seen Daryl Hannah looking better . Having that out of the way , I will say this film wasn't particularly funny nor was it anything more than an average picture , but the special effects were special indeed . Neill was fine as the C . I . A . goon intent on cashing in on someone else'... |
532,494 | 70,535 | 98,363 | 7 | If you have lots of money , why get married ? | Good presentation using lots of flashback to good effect . When a bedridden woman overhears a phone conversation which leads her to believe a crime is being planned , a night of terror begins for her . After making a series of calls to various people she begins to piece together a tale of greed and illegal gains involv... |
532,542 | 70,535 | 62,865 | 7 | 2 men chase Apaches into the high country | Good western with Ford playing a gunman trying to put his guns down and come home to the wife and kids . Upon arrival at the homestead he finds his family has been taken by injun raiders . This leads to his searching for them in a harsh land where he must battle not only the redskins on their own turf but Army deserter... |
532,902 | 70,535 | 104,839 | 7 | Rumble in the jungle | Average film about a doctor in Brazil searching for a cancer cure while being watched over by his boss and worrying about the local natives and the survival of their habitat . This is another of those " statement " films which indeed has a message . . . . for all the good it does . Man is going to continue raping the l... |
533,446 | 70,535 | 58,571 | 7 | Figure ol ' Rock didn't care for all those kissing scenes with Doris ? | Funny romance / comedy with some well written lines for everybody . I especially enjoyed the give and take between Tony Randall and the Rock . Doris Day is soooooo cute ; I had a major crush on her during my junior high years . I liked Lynde's character , but I prefer his more sarcastic roles . 3 stars . |
532,899 | 70,535 | 132,893 | 7 | Corporate exec needs a wife to finalize a deal | When a businessman decides to move the shop to Mexico for an improvement in profits he must impress the buyer with , not only the price , but with his image as a solid family man . The problem is he's a swinging bachelor . A plot is hatched to hire a woman and her child to pose as the spouse and offspring of the execut... |
532,783 | 70,535 | 190,524 | 7 | May I not be left back | While this appeared to be a fairly low budget effort , I still enjoyed the production . Not nearly as engrossing as the book , this picture nonetheless gives the viewer a special message dealing with the final times on earth before the second coming of Christ . Of course , a much better take on this subject would be th... |
533,561 | 70,535 | 40,974 | 7 | Nasty villains say " show me the money " | Good tale of a pair of evil creeps who conspire to rob an heiress of her fortune through an arranged marriage . A rotten , more vile criminal duo couldn't be imagined ; their arrogance was irritating and the leader's brilliance was not to be denied . So clever was he that when his plot was exposed by an acquaintance th... |
532,854 | 70,535 | 87,231 | 7 | Drugs and politics make poor bedfellows | Excellent drama about 2 alienated , spoiled punks who go afoul of the federal government , each for his own reasons . One , a druggie , just wants to score some bucks for his next fix , but the other has a far more sinister agenda fueled in part by a resentment of his father . Good performances and a hot script makes t... |
533,294 | 70,535 | 58,586 | 7 | If cops were really this stupid , I would turn to a life of crime | I'm not real high on Seller's doing the French detective , but did get a few laughs with this one . The funniest guy was Inspector Dreyfus , Clouseau's boss ; his nervous condition had me guffawing . Been a long time since I've seen Elke , forgot how enchanting she was . Pretty good comedy . |
532,912 | 70,535 | 65,874 | 7 | Foolish fellow falls for foxy filly | Peck does a nice job playing a middle age crazy sheriff who meets and goes over the edge for a rawboned hillbilly girl . He has a decent , loving wife at home but his discontent with his life leads to his making one stupid mistake after another in not only his private life but his professional as well . Well played out... |
532,812 | 70,535 | 40,978 | 7 | Thugs go for the gold in a ghost town | Average western with an improbable plot . I enjoyed seeing some of the best of the old western players , but the show was pretty holey , especially the love angle . Lots of gunplay and some knuckle swapping among the thieves who just couldn't seem to get along . What happened to honor among thieves ? |
532,638 | 70,535 | 136,755 | 7 | People are rotten even at Christmas | I liked Mimi playing a woman somewhat down on her luck . She wants very much to better herself , but things don't go her way . . . . until she writes her Christmas list . Even then she still has problems : an overbearing boss , a fruitcake mother , a totally anal boyfriend , and a bitchy co-worker . Then she falls in l... |
533,303 | 70,535 | 57,121 | 7 | El Galivan finds trouble wherever he goes | A gunslinger , chased by lawmen for a killing , makes his way to an outlaw hideout called Sanctuary . Along the way he teams up with a young punk who has a yearning for " a good fight and a bad woman " . The law tries to take the gunman out of the compound but things took another turn . Average western . |
532,384 | 70,535 | 122,143 | 7 | Nice little mockumentary . . . and the viewer was the one mocked | If you are looking for a film with big names you won't find it here : many of these actors are working for the first and last time ; which may be a Godsend . I thought it was an effective and fun movie as this group of devil busters head off into the wilds of Jersey looking for this area's version of Bigfoot . If playe... |
532,605 | 70,535 | 115,891 | 7 | Christmas comes only once a day | A 13 year old boy , a lad I wanted to slap across a large space , detests Christmas and all the family gathering that goes with it . After his sister talks him into wishing Christmas would come every day , suddenly it became Christmas each morning of his life . There was much whining from the boy for the first couple o... |
532,995 | 70,535 | 150,377 | 7 | Kill him twice . It's legal . | Boy , was this guy a dirty , rotten scoundrel or what ? Not to mention a sociopath with a deep , abiding love of money . . . . so deep that he would do anything for it . This was a good drama with Jones doing his patented hard-ass act and Judd turning in a good performance as the betrayed spouse . |
533,498 | 70,535 | 94,025 | 7 | More exciting than funny | There were some laughs and this was a good show , but I found the level of tension higher than the laugh level : and Aidan Quinn plain stole the show with his psycho act . However , the entire production has been done before . I've seen the improbable love affair , the guns , the car wrecks . . . . |
532,417 | 70,535 | 39,931 | 7 | Haven't seen this much ham since I toured the Jimmy Dean packing company | I enjoyed this film , but the acting was so overblown , especially by Paulette Goddard , that I had to laugh during many of the more tense situations . Hollywood really did a number on pre-revolutionary America when they cast Karloff as the Chief of the cutthroat redskins out to relieve Coop and crew of their freshly s... |
533,046 | 70,535 | 95,774 | 7 | Average crazed killer flic | Pretty decent offering featuring a couple of G . I . MP's who try to solve a string of brutal prostitute murders . After a while it was plain who the killer was . One part that just didn't play was the car bombing : I don't think yelling " get down " would save anybody in this case . |
533,394 | 70,535 | 39,689 | 7 | Private dick falls in with a rough crowd | Fairly good yarn about a private investigator who falls for a dame who double crossed her crooked boyfriend . Mitchum plays his usual laid back , chain smoking character who smoothly handles 2 women , a cold hearted killer , and a crime boss intent on having things go his way . |
533,474 | 70,535 | 117,958 | 7 | I wouldn't associate with any of these folks | Excellent film dealing with a group of unhappy people who drown their sorrows in booze , powder , and sex . The chief sorrowmeister , Tommy , was a pathetic loser who spent inordinate amounts of time swilling beer and shots in a shabby bar which boasted a temperamental barkeep , a postage stamp sized men's room , and o... |
532,978 | 70,535 | 120,179 | 7 | James Bond meets the love boat | I didn't see that this film was as bad as I had heard . I admit it was just another action movie , but I've seen much worse . Willem Defoe was fine as the lunatic with a grudge , Jason Patric was decent enough in his role of the macho cop , and Sandy was , as usual , fabulous . I felt the corny one liners and James Bon... |
532,689 | 70,535 | 97,940 | 7 | Makes the mundane interesting | Quirky trio of tales loosely interlaced around a poor section of Memphis . This was a very offbeat film which really didn't go anywhere but was still interesting and amusing . I appreciated all the super cool action with the zippo , particularly by the oriental dude . Very different , check it out . |
532,981 | 70,535 | 80,474 | 7 | Kind hearted liberal thinks he can reform criminals | Well , Murray Hamilton once again proves he is the champ at playing the obnoxious , arrogant ass who has to prove he is the lord and master over his domain . Really enjoyed this one ; it had the look and feel of an actual prison ; not a place for any human being to be forced to reside in . I doubt than any real warden ... |
532,705 | 70,535 | 47,437 | 7 | Goofy girl chases after useless playboy | This was well done and Holden got plenty of exercise hopping in and out of his little roadster but I preferred the glossier ' 95 version . At first I didn't think Bogey could pull off the part of Linus but he carried it off nicely . |
533,038 | 70,535 | 95,800 | 7 | Orphaned cub goes it alone in the forest | After losing it's mother to an accident , a young bear must strike out on it's own to survive . Along the way the cub gets into some hilarious , sometimes dangerous , situations . Aided many times by an older grizzly boar , the little feller learns the lessons of life . |
532,533 | 70,535 | 117,992 | 7 | Computer whiz runs amok | Farfetched tale of a computer geek who uses an elaborate online system to take over another man's entire history . He then frames the man for a pair of crimes that he had no knowledge of which leads to a big manhunt and , of course , the big showdown in the end . Nothing new , but still an enjoyable film . |
532,541 | 70,535 | 43,131 | 7 | Dumb doc digs dangerous dame | Foolish physician with a good practice and a loving mate fall for a mysterious woman who pops up in the emergency room late one night . After a whirlwind romance the doctor discovers a stunning revelation concerning his newfound flame . Immediately thereafter circumstances put the 2 on the road with the police in hot p... |
533,465 | 70,535 | 76,636 | 7 | Good thriller | Lots of good scenes with realistic looking activity in and around several amusement parks as the cops go about trying to stop a nutty bomber . Good performances by Segal as the harried inspector and Widmark as he gives his usual hard nose , " I'm in command and don't you forget it ! " act . Yeah , it was predictable bu... |
533,311 | 70,535 | 102,798 | 7 | good tale from the Sherwood Forest | I enjoyed this film immensely . Robin was well done by Costner , and the evil Sheriff was perfectly cast . For my money he made the show . The scenes were well set up and gave one a sense of being in another time and place . Lots of action with beautiful sets . A little hokey in spots , but hey , it's Robin Hood . |
532,778 | 70,535 | 102,797 | 7 | What ? ! No Sheriff of Nottingham ? | This gave the viewer the same basic story of the famous forest marauder , but added a few new wrinkles which made for a fresh look at an old tale . Many here in IMDB seem to not care for the Costner version , a film I still remember with great admiration , and compare it unfavorably with this translation . Me , I think... |
532,645 | 70,535 | 210,567 | 7 | Her ego knew NO bounds | On the unbelievable side but still an interesting look at a woman totally dedicated to winning beauty pageants as a way to build self esteem . A pushy , driven person who never quite grew up and leaned heavily on a childhood friend for the guidance and support she never received growing up in a loveless home . Good sho... |
532,350 | 70,535 | 94,082 | 7 | Street folks gotta eat too | Fine courtroom drama which appears to be about a small change murder involving a pair of street people . But is it ? An attorney takes on the case and begins digging deep into the case when evidence turns up that suggests the culprit may have connections other than with simple street bums . Interesting and exciting , t... |
533,061 | 70,535 | 109,150 | 7 | Hoodlums traumatize a small child | In the process of ripping off a home , a gang of thugs come upon the homeowner's terrified child . After a big shoot-out the boy is left deeply traumatized . Unable to communicate his feelings , things rapidly go from bad to worse as his father is unable to see his son as anything but a hero ; an attitude which is slow... |
532,999 | 70,535 | 133,093 | 7 | Could this all be true ? | Am I really living in this altered universe ? Am I merely a cloned out slave to some wild , way out computer gone berserk ? Does life really even exist , and , if so , does it even matter ? Or is Matrix just another high-tech film shot with lots of expensive cameras ? Watch and see . . . . but , beware , for you will n... |
533,063 | 70,535 | 107,204 | 7 | Cop goes undercover to catch a killer | When a small town is threatened by a child killer , a lady police officer goes after him by pretending to be his friend . As she becomes more and more emotionally involved with the murderer her psyche begins to take a beating causing her to lose focus on the job of catching the criminal . Not a film of high voltage exc... |
533,360 | 70,535 | 64,916 | 7 | Master gunslinger takes on thieving gang | Absolutely ridiculous , totally entertaining ultra-spaghetti western featuring one of entertainments greatest , and ugliest , bad guys - Lee Van Cleef .

533,007 | 70,535 | 78,490 | 7 | A killer is just a hero out of uniform | Very violent film shot in rugged mountain country .

533,552 | 70,535 | 35,446 | 7 | What would the Bard think ? | Good , but the Mel Brooks re-make outshone this old bird front to back . It was funny to hear Robert Stack's 40's voice compared to the more natural style he used later in his career . As always Benny is a riot as were a couple of the stupid Nazi officers . Worth seeing . |

532,900 | 70,535 | 128,853 | 7 | I'll never look at chat rooms the same way again | What a cute film ! Unrealistic as all getout , but cute .

533,569 | 70,535 | 69,865 | 7 | Mob goes after bank robbers | Unusual picture for Walt . Like " The Laughing Policemen " it is done seriously .

532,545 | 70,535 | 43,067 | 7 | Long John Silver - a pirate with a heart of gold and a lust for it | Good adaptation of the old Stevenson classic . I admit the acting was a bit forced - you gotta love the eye rolling antics of Silver - but you couldn't ask for a for a scroungier , more evil , bunch of murderous villains than Silver's band of cutthroats .

532,355 | 70,535 | 89,239 | 7 | Love is a many splintered thing | One more strange film as a man and wife plot ways to murder one another , each using the hubby's mistress to their advantage .
