richardchatten

Joined May 2016
I was born in Cambridge on St. Valentine's Day 1959 and became seriously interested in films at the age of 12. My favourite eras are the early 30's and the early 60's. Having regularly consulted the IMDb for over ten years I belatedly started posting reviews of my own for two reasons:

1. Plenty of the movies I see are so obscure it eventually dawned upon me that I really ought to describe some of them for the benefit of other researchers.

2. Having hit the age of 60 I can tell that my recall of films I've just seen is developing a shorter and shorter half-life; and as mortality beckons feel that it will from now on be wise to set down any impressions worth recording fairly promptly.

  • "Call Me Ishmael"

    An unusual film on which to find Ray Bradbury credited as scriptwriter. Orson Welles had already wanted to film Herman's Melville's novel before John Huston entered the picture; and I won't be the first to suggest that the film would have better had it been Welles - who was compensated with the part of Father Mapple - who had directed it and Huston himself had played Ahab.

    No, it's not really terribly good, and Drake Bell provides a rather bland young hero. But Leslie Nielsen as ever provides good value as Uncle Albert.

    Marion Ross is allowed to demonstrate a disarmingly light touch. While the sight of Pamela Anderson attired as The Invisible Woman alone makes the thing worth seeing.

  • The Missing Ruby

    Despite the amusing animated title sequence Leslie Nielsen is far too obviously Nielsen to resemble for a moment the famous UPA cartoon character.

    No matter. Although not a patch on the 'Naked Gun' films even substandard Leslie Nielsen is still Nielsen.

    While Kelly Lynch provides a memorable jewel thief.
