![]() This movie is a classic. I rarely like to watch movies over and over again — but I never tire of this one. |

![]() The Graduate, unlike most of the films trumpeted through the ages, is one that lived up to the promise and surpassed it; this quirky and altogether morose comedy/drama is certainly a film that succeeds in aiming to eviscerate adult expectations of young people as well as give the young the idea o… |

![]() Anjelica Huston and Annette Bening use their considerable feminine wiles to control a man-in-the-middle.

![]() The House on Telegraph Hill is a triumph of art direction. That’s good. It’s also unintentionally campy. That’s bad. The result is a just OK movie, yet one that belongs in the San Francisco Cinema Hall of Fame. The views are marvelous. And the views are the thing with San Francisco real…
