Time After Time (1979) **

Interesting concept and McDowell and Warner provide strong turns but it could have used some trimming. Nice 1970's SF location shots.

Return from the Ashes (1965) ***

Nifty thriller with a sharp script, three superb leads and lovely b/w shooting by the reliable Chris Challis.

The Sandpiper (1965) **

Gorgeous Big Sur locations and Liz & Dick undone by glacial pacing and an extremely wordy, not to mention ham-fisted, screenplay. Eva Marie stands out.

The Split (1968) **

A terrific cast in a brutal heist flick hampered by subpar direction and an awkward Jim Brown in his first lead role.
