My One and Only
Film Review  October 2, 2009
Description: Renée Zellweger stars in this 1950s-set story that's based on George Hamilton's memories of his early years traveling with his mother while she searched for a new husband.

"...Starring: Renée Zellweger, Kevin Bacon, Chris Noth, Logan Lerman, Mark Rendall, Nick Stahl, Eric McCormack, David Koechner and Steven Weber. Perhaps the most interesting fact to be gleaned from this loose retelling of actor George Hamilton’s teen years is that the man with the perma-tan started life as a pale and snarky New Yorker, dreaming not of the pictures but of a writing career..."

Description: The Texas Documentary Tour: Ramona Diaz's 'Imelda'

"...In her award-winning film, now being shown theatrically (and on PBS's Independent Lens on May 10), Diaz makes use of extensive archival footage, chronicling the intertwined history of the country and its ambition-driven first lady. There are scenes here you couldn't make up – the young Imelda coming in second in a beauty contest and prevailing upon the judges to crown her the winner, the lavishly gowned Imelda dancing at state parties with Henry Kissinger, chatting with Gadhafi, being serenaded by George Hamilton..."

"...Included in the book are random seating charts, matchbooks, pertinent quotes from the gossip columns, and other intriguing artifacts.

Hollywood Ending
Film Review  May 3, 2002

Description: "TV Eye" delivers the skinny on the (mostly unimpressive) summer season debuts.

Video Reviews
Screens Review  October 8, 1999

"...Sextette D: Ken Hughes (1978); with Mae West, Timothy Dalton, Dom DeLuise, George Hamilton, Walter Pidgeon, George Raft. This film, a famously misguided team-up between the former Diamond Lil and the future James Bond, is guaranteed to wrench a nauseated grimace from any critic's mug at the mention of the title alone -- but is it really that bad? The answer is yes and no..."

The Mask of Zorro
Film Review  July 17, 1998
Description: Theoretically, if you take into account some of Einstein's more esoteric theorems (parallel universes and all that), the tale of Zorro has already been filmed several thousand times over. Or...

"...Or maybe it just seems that way. First commited to pulp paper in 1919 by Johnston McCulley, the roguish character paved the way for Bruce Wayne and his ilk before dropping out of sight for a while in the mid-Seventies (1981's George Hamilton vehicle -- Zorro, the Gay Blade -- is notable only as a cultural comic anomaly, I believe)..."

Ray of Light... and Dark
Screens Column  November 7, 1997

"...Hot Rods is one of those cheesy, late Sixties teen exploitation flicks (and "flicks" is just the word for this) starting faded Hollywood stars (Dana Andrews, Jeanne Crain) and the hip, aspiring Mimsy Farmer (The Miniskirt Mob). One of those big-screen potboilers follows, 1960's All the Fine Young Cannibals(TCM; 11/6; 9pm), with Robert Wagner, Natalie Wood, George Hamilton, Susan Kohner, and Pearl Bailey..."

Once Upon a Crime
Film Review  March 13, 1992
Description: This frothy little comedy is a pleasant enough amusement. It's not a big belly-laugh of a comedy, but it's quickly paced, fun and entertaining. Its deft script is put in...
