The weekly roundup of reviews, interviews, and other citations of (often, though not always) underappreciated examples of the dramatic and related arts; Olivia de Havilland gets some extra attention this week, and The Taking of Pelham One Two Three gets two (deservedly) good reviews (though I wonder at the claim that it's been remade twice...I'll have to look into that). As always, please let me know if I've missed your or anyone else's contribution this week in comments... thanks. The Taking of Pelham One Two Three:

Pelham was indeed remade twice: the first one was a TV-movie in 1998 (http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0140594/) and the theatrical remake in 2009 (http://www.imdb.com/title/tt1111422/). I haven't seen either of the remakes, but the original is stellar!
ReplyDeleteThanks, Brian...the theatrical remake was rather weak tea...I wasn't aware of the telefilm.
ReplyDeleteMight be the last one for the Summer. I"ll keep you posted. Many thanks.
