It's handled well by veteran director J. Lee Thompson, with strong cast support and excellent production values that make it all lavish, rich, and often breathtaking.- TV Guide Magazine

Hayley Mills plays twins in this innocent, fast-paced comedy, a favorite of countless youngsters in the 1960s. An enjoyable, corny Disney picture with a memorable soundtrack featuring tunes sung by Tommy Sands and Annette Funicello.- TV Guide Magazine

Since much of the action takes place in the tiny apartment, director Petrie had to pull out all the stops to keep it from being stage-bound, and, with the help of cinematographer Lawton, he succeeded.- TV Guide Magazine

After nearly three hours Fellini's relentlessly enigmatic, non-committal approach leaves you wishing for something more than poignant imagery and moody, self-obsessed characters. (Review of original release)- TV Guide Magazine

There's lots to recommend this shoestring picture, not the least of which is Baron's acting ability.- TV Guide Magazine

This is a zanily inventive piece of work, with delightful special effects, which set the style for a long series of live-action Disney films.- TV Guide Magazine

What Stravinsky's "La Sacre du Printemps" is to 20th-century music or Joyce's Ulysses is to the 20th-century novel, Godard's first feature, BREATHLESS, is to film.- TV Guide Magazine

Many have called this film a brilliant mood piece of a dying Old West; that doesn't make it a masterpiece, but the ghosts of its cast do still haunt one's viewing experience.- TV Guide Magazine

Played for comedy, the film never quite works, and Curtis can't quite handle his role.- TV Guide Magazine

The story, a romance with an interesting detective twist, is combined with exquisite caricatures of both humans and dogs.- TV Guide Magazine

WHERE THE BOYS ARE is plenty moralistic, yet the film is not without a naive sense of charm.- TV Guide Magazine

Director Donen takes us for a few romps in the green countryside to ease the claustrophobia, but this gratuitous meandering only serves to make us realize how hidebound the story is.- TV Guide Magazine

It's a tongue-in-cheek movie that avoids the sappy sentiment of so many "family" films and concentrates on sheer entertainment instead.- TV Guide Magazine

Though the film is overlong, the story is movingly told, the production values are high, and Ernest Gold's Oscar-nominated score is considered a classic.- TV Guide Magazine

Big, funny, tender and humane all at the same time, The Sundowners is a true "family" film, without any of the cloying connotations of that term.- TV Guide Magazine

Very nearly a classic, this Americanization of Akira Kurosawa's The Seven Samurai does a good job of mirroring the major themes and attitudes of the original while re-creating that monumental film in an occidental setting.- TV Guide Magazine

Spartacus is still a remarkable epic--one of the greatest tales of the ancient world ever to hit the screen. It's especially strong, and more typical of Kubrick, in the first half--before satire gives way to sentiment.- TV Guide Magazine

While nothing to rival Hitchcock, the film's look and direction make it a worthwhile effort. Doris Day makes the switch from light comedy to suspense fairly well, creating a believable victim, while Harrison, his usual debonair self, adopts a sinister air.- TV Guide Magazine

Akira Kurosawa's THE HIDDEN FORTRESS is a paradigm of the modern adventure epic--a marvelously entertaining blend of a simple but strong plot, exhilarating action scenes, tongue-in-cheek humor, and a solid philosophical underpinning.- TV Guide Magazine

Richardson's direction of this unhappy little gem gives off the appropriate dull glimmer while being economical and inventive.- TV Guide Magazine

Ralph Bellamy is superb as Roosevelt, capturing every nuance of a man who was the most photographed and listened-to politician of his generation. Surpassing Bellamy, though, is Garson, who doesn't play Eleanor Roosevelt, she becomes her.- TV Guide Magazine

- Critic Score
It's got a jet black sense of humor that becomes increasingly apparent upon repeated viewings and there's no doubt that it is masterful filmmaking. Hitchcock himself approached it almost as a technical joke...The film is a textbook example of audience manipulation, as Hitchcock shifts our identification from character to character with the alacrity of a magician.- TV Guide Magazine

A free-wheeling, uninhibited all-star romp, Ocean's Eleven set the pace for the "caper" films of the 1960s and 1970s.- TV Guide Magazine

This smashing science-fiction adaptation of H.G. Wells's famous novel has more creativity in every frame than most latter-day rip-offs have in their entirety.- TV Guide Magazine

Inherit The Wind acutely captures the farcical Monkey Trial and offers the awesome talents of two double-Oscar winners, Tracy and March, in their only film together.- TV Guide Magazine
