A High Wind in Jamaica (1965)

Here’s the latest from The Magnificent 60s Forget swashbuckling shenanigans in the Captain Blood (1935) and Pirates of the Caribbean (2003) vein, this has more in keeping with Lord of the Flies (1963) as a bunch of third-rate pirates get more than they bargained for after kidnapping a bunch of English children. The pirates are clever...

Sands of the Kalahari (1965)

Here’s the latest from The Magnificent 60s You know the score: plane crashes in inhospitable territory (in this case a desert), personalities clash as food/water is rationed, tempers run high and/or depression sets in as attempts to attract attention fail, someone goes for help, someone else has an ingenious idea...

Bus Riley’s Back in Town (1965)

Here’s the latest from The Magnificent 60s Given Ann-Margret receives top billing I had automatically assumed she was the Bus Riley in question. Although decidedly the female lead, her role is secondary to that of a sailor returning to his small town. The backstory is that Bus – no explanation...

The Sleeping Car Murder (1965)

Here’s the latest from The Magnificent 60s Absolutely brilliant thriller. Even after a half a century, still a knock out.

The Slender Thread (1965)

Here’s the latest from The Magnificent 60s Hollywood paranoia in the 1970s ensured that any type of electronic surveillance was treated with suspicion. Cops, too, were almost certain to be corrupt.

The Glory Guys (1965)

Here’s the latest from The Magnificent 60s The dismissive verdict of Sam Peckinpah (he wrote the script) is the main reason this remains unfairly underrated.

The Yesterday Machine (1965) & Goodbye, Mr Chips (1969)

Here’s the latest from The Magnificent 60s Some big-name director, especially these days, would have seen the potential, injected some action and jeopardy, a good dose of awe and maybe more of a hint of a romance. You can’t help but feel this would be exactly the kind of enterprise...

6th April 2025

King Rat (1965)

Here’s the latest from The Magnificent 60s Turns the POW sub-genre on its head. Nobody’s interested in escaping or, in the vein of Bridge on the River Kwai (1957), committing an audacious act of sabotage. It’s hard enough just surviving with any high-falautin’ notions of honor or courage getting in the way....

A Study in Terror (1965)

Here’s the latest from The Magnificent 60s Excepting Sherlock Holmes and the Deadly Necklace (1962), the world’s most famous fictional detective had been absent from the big screen for over two decades so it seemed an inspired decision to set him on the trail of the world’s most infamous serial killer.

Dark Intruder (1965)

Here’s the latest from The Magnificent 60s Sumerian demons, Siamese twins separated at birth, a serial killer, oceans of fog, the flower of the mandrake, a climax that revolves around “it’s in his kiss” and a picture so shorn of light it could easily have been titled Dark Fiancé or Dark Wedding. Thematically...

Once a Thief (1965)

Here’s the latest from The Magnificent 60s Film noir gem with terrific cast filmed in black-and-white and often at night that crams into a taut storyline different slants of the themes of the con-going-straight, the vendetta and the double-cross. While Hollywood at this point had imported platoons of foreign beauties...

The Cincinnati Kid (1965)

Here’s the latest from The Magnificent 60s Steve McQueen had little trouble identifying with this role. He was the Hollywood contender, trying to knock current kingpin Paul Newman off his perch, and in Norman Jewison’s tense, often heart-stopping, drama he has the ideal vehicle. For the most part this is...

Doctor Zhivago (1965)

Here’s the latest from The Magnificent 60s “Showmanship” isn’t a word likely to crop up in critical appraisals of David Lean’s magnificent Russian romance.

Viva Maria (1965)

Here’s the latest from The Magnificent 60s Had it been a hit in the U.S., it could have changed the way women were portrayed on screen. A box office smash could certainly have fired up a sequel (a key plank of the United Artists business model) and perhaps a reboot...

Seven Golden Men (1965)

Here’s the latest from The Magnificent 60s Very stylish caper picture that dispenses with the recruitment section, the ingenious hi-tech robbery accounting for the first half, escape and double-cross the second, a slinky Rosanna Podesta an added attraction/distraction. The Professor (Phillippe Leroy), in bowler hat and umbrella, orchestrates the gold...
