The quintessential '50s rom-com.

Powerhouse performance from Richard Burton but a little too old to play the angry young man stuff that is essential to this tale.

This is Hitchcock's longest film and also his most self-referential. Little jokes abound about art and artifice, role play and reality, duty and duplicity and each viewing reveals something new to enhance the pleasure of watching the Master of Suspense at his most mischievous and assured.

Brilliantly terrible or terribly terrible depending on your viewpoint.

Cleverly wrought and expertly played crime thriller.

Faultless, freewheeling-and very funny.

Although time doesn't flatter the film much, it remains engaging and insightful.

Key to its success - along with its vivid characters and brilliant performances - is the snappy pace throughout. Non-stop gags, invention, twists and comic incident flow, as Joe and Jerry - sexy Curtis and screamingly funny Lemmon - elude mob boss George Raft by wriggling into an all-girl jazz band, with Josephine and Daphne’s legendary drag act taking in amorous adventures, seductive deceptions and madcap pursuits.

There are some poignant moments, but Steven's decision to shoot a claustrophobic movie in CinemaScope and the stage-bound feel of the whole enterprise never bring the action to life.

A consummate display of populist weepie-making.

Stylish enough, but the plodding story inhibits the smooth sophistication of the film's stars.

Delightful, but bum-numbingly slow.

Dark but beautiful.

Epic, heartbreaking cowboy story.

Uncomfortable viewing which isn't afraid to engage with race-related violence.

Two of cinema's most iconic stars on top form make this worth a good look.

Expertly executed example of a golden time in British cinema - one to savour.

Gripping throughout with frame upon frame of standout images and superb performances from the two leads.

By deviating from Stoker's text, Hammer was clearly signalling a new direction in horror. It was garish, it was sexy and it was never afraid to be gory.

Marlene Dietrich tries not to give anything away as usual while Agatha Christie's whodunit plot whirs tidily about her expressionless beauty.

Astonishing cinematography and brilliantly played, this certainly one of the most influential crime movies in history.
