Mother Wore Tights is a well made 1940s era musical and while it wasn’t always my thing as I generally am not the biggest fan of the genre, it was still mildly enjoyable.

Hussy is a finely acted drama headlined by the amazing Helen Mirren to go along with John Shea, whom I will always know as Lex Luthor on Lois & Clark, makes a solid feature film debut.

I mentioned it before but I’m not a big fan of musicals, with few exceptions, but Hello, Frisco, Hello wasn’t half bad holding some charm thanks to Alice Faye.

Bandolero is kind of a strange movie, one filled with some great actors of the time including Dean Martin, Raquel Welch and James Stewart playing against type as the antagonist, alongside George Kennedy.

Usually the western genre isn’t my thing, but even so, Warlock is well made and features a great cast headlined by Richard Widmark, Henry Fonda and Anthony Quinn.

Steve McQueen is probably my favorite ‘old school’ Hollywood superstars and while I don’t think Baby the Rain Must Fall is one of his better movies but he does deliver a brilliant performance.

Satan Never Sleeps is an odd little history-drama especially with some of the humor inserted, but the story is fairly compelling and the performance by William Holden was, as always, wonderfully charismatic.

Anne of the Thousand Days is a well acted and richly photographed drama excelling with the performances from Richard Burton portraying Henry VIII and Genevieve Bujold as Anne Boleyn.

Antony and Cleopatra is a well done historical-drama especially considering it was Charlton Heston’s directorial debut and under major financial constraints, but Heston does a fine job despite being a bit too old while Hildegard Neil was at least a delight as Cleopatra.

Although X Y & Zee is a bit too outlandish for me, the trio cast of Taylor, Caine and York was fun to watch and some of the darker humor did work.

The True Story of Jesse James is an alright western and being someone who’s not the biggest fan of the genre, found it entertaining enough, led way by the tough-as-nails Robert Wagner.

Black Widow actually is a unique film noir in an era that was filled with them and at its core, a well done murder mystery. The film also features some wonderful performances, most notably, Van Heflin, Ginger Rogers and Peggy Ann Gardner.

The Hospital is a dark comedy that works mostly for George C. Scott though the story itself isn’t only mildly amusing. The Blu-ray has okay video/audio transfers but lacks many features.
