Witness for the Prosecution
Blending strong performances with a well-paced story and a fun and twisting third act, Witness for the Prosecution shows itself as one of Wilder’s best films, one of the best courtroom dramas ever made, and one of the Greatest Films of All Time.
The Blue Angel
Josef von Sternberg adapts the work of Heinrich Mann well, bringing out the best in his two leads – Jannings and Dietrich – as they weave the tale of a fall from grace in classic style, achieving a place among the greats.
Shanghai Express
Shanghai Express benefits from a strong leading performance and uncharacteristically progressive treatments of its female characters on its way to becoming a classic film-noir.
