Movie Reviews
Enjoyable and interesting film upon a naive peasant during the Second World War
One of those lost-classic movies that deserves to be seen more often! How about it, TCM?
This is one-of-all-too-many classic movies that should be shown on television at least once a year...once a decade, even!?!?
NO! Instead, great channels like TCM; AMC; and, many others, CONTINUOUSLY show the "SAME" movies over and over, again!?!? Where has variety gone?
I saw this movie...or, I'll say, "I was 'lucky enough' to 'catch' this movie back in 1991 when I just happened to find it on television. Since then...NOTHING!?!? Not even a mention of this great and lost Anthony Quinn classic! WHY?
This is really a great movie, but, due to 'whatever' or 'whomever,' it's an 'unknown' great movie!?!?
This movie is about the luckiest and unluckiest man on the planet at a time when Europe is swept-up into World War II. A man who seems to luck-out in many impossible ways, but, is only to be brought into many more unlucky situations!?!? This is a great movie to be seen by all!
Another Anthony Quinn Classic that is never shown on television is "The Secret of Santa Vittoria." I have, and, read the book, but, I haven't seen this movie since the 1970s!?!? If you even have the slightest chance of seeing this; or, if someone 'mistakenly' shows it on television...WATCH IT!
"The 25th Hour" is a great movie, and, I give it EIGHT STARS. :)
