Screens Review August 25, 2006
by Steve Uhler
"...Think Fast struck a chord with moviegoers, and Lorre found himself unhappily cast in a series of profitable yet unchallenging sequels, grinding out a total of eight Motos between 1937 and '39, each with interchangeable titles and plots. They were formulaic B-pictures, but the formula worked: exotic locales, crisp direction by Norman Foster, stellar supporting players (George Sanders, John Carradine, Lionel Atwill), and, above all, Lorre, fastidiously cleaning his fingernails with a discarded dagger, winking conspiratorially at the audience..."

"...Muir (1947; on DVD: 20th Century Fox, $14.98): Cheating here, as I didn't like it when I saw it (several generations ago), but most everybody else swears by this fantasy of a widow romanced by the ghost of a sea captain. Directed by Joseph Mankiewicz and starring Gene Tierney (Laura), Rex Harrison, and George Sanders...."

Sirkus Maximus
Screens Story May 12, 2000
by Marjorie Baumgarten
Description: Douglas Sirk's Fifties film melodramas expose a world of emotional turbulence lurking beneath the placid surface of the Eisenhower years.
"...During his early years in Hollywood, Sirk directed standard programmers like Hitler's Madmen (1942), Mystery Submarine (1950), Weekend With Father (1951), Has Anybody Seen My Gal? (1951), and Shockproof (1948), a film noir penned by Samuel Fuller. There were also his early melodramas: Summer Storm (1944), which was adapted from a Chekhov story; Lured (1946), with Lucille Ball and George Sanders; and Sleep, My Love (1947), starring Claudette Colbert as a woman driven mad by her husband..."

And Then a Step to the Right
Screens Column October 31, 1997
by Margaret Moser
"...(My personal favorite Hallowe'en lineup would have to include the original The Pit and the Pendulum, What Ever Happened to Baby Jane?, and The Innocents.) Some might argue that JFK (HBO; 1:35am) is a mystery, and I don't know that I'd argue with that except to say that I prefer more classic Hallowe'en offerings. That would include The Lodger (AMC; 6:30am), a nifty little 1944 melodrama based around Jack the Ripper, and starring Merle Oberon and George Sanders..."
No. 1 in a Series
Screens Column April 4, 1997
by Margaret Moser
"...For the next 138 minutes I sat glued for the umpteenth time to every scene, every line, every nuance of the 1950 Oscar-winner. Bette Davis and Ann Baxter are transcendent in their performances (it's also a Triple-S movie for Hollywood Babylon types like me -- George Sanders, Marilyn Monroe, and Barbara Bates all committed suicide)..."

"...Of course,
it's the town's distinctive natural resources -- successful old movies and TV
shows -- that are being recycled. Slated for release between January and May
are modern updates of McHale's Navy with Tom Arnold and Disney's That
Darn Cat, Jungle 2 Jungle's Americanization of the inexplicably
successful French film Little Indian, Big City, and Val Kilmer's
reincarnation of The Saint (a character played in different decades by
George Sanders and Roger Moore)..."
The Pest
Film Review February 14, 1997
by Marc Savlov
Description: Without resorting to the extreme measure of zapping a cage full of rabid stoats with a Tazer, it would be hard to top The Pest for sheer kinetic spectacle. Leguizamo,...
by Marc Savlov
"...Even allowing for a few amusing set-pieces – notably a rap-vs.-classic-rock mobile sound system battle between Vargas and a bunch of white doofuses – there simply isn’t that much substantial humor here once you start seeing through Leguizamo’s Tasmanian Devil blur. No movie comic inane enough to make Jerry Lewis appear by contrast as a figure of George Sanders–like urbanity deserves even a second chance at cinematic life..."
