Thunder on the Hill (1951) **

Weird whodunit set in an English country convent/hospital maintains interest despite some hammy performances and Hollywood clichés.

An Almost Perfect Affair (1979) **

Mediocre rom-com made watchable by the Cannes location shots and the wonderful Ms. Vitti.

Small Time Crooks (2000) **

Woody miscast himself here and he just can't pull off the lovable low class loser role and it really needs someone else (Hoskins?) because the jokes are not that funny by themselves.

Autumn Tale (1998) ****

Rohmer's best, a gorgeously filmed adult rom-com with a marvel of a performance from Alain Libolt. The film is charm itself.

Charade (1963) ***

Audrey, Cary and Paris would be more than enough for any flick but this one also has a sharp script and a deft directorial touch.

The Whistle Blower (1986) **

Paranoid spy procedural is well made but gets a bit heavy handed in the final act.

Dream Lover (1993) **

Not so successful noir but it's beautifully shot and has the spectacular Ms. Amick as the femme fatale.
