Preston & Sturgess Films

I’m a great fan of Preston & Sturgess films.

I wrote a review of ‘Hail the conquering hero’ and

The Great McGinty 

The films have great wit, marvelous dialogue and are quite refreshing to watch. Other good Preston & Sturgess films include Christmas in July, Palm Beach Story and Lady Eve.

Other good films I’ve watched lately:

  • Anne of the Thousand Days - about Anne Boleyn and Henry VIII - exceptionally well acted and produced
  • The Lavender Hill Mob - from the Great era of Ealing Studios
