Dinner Rush (2000)


Is it just another evening at the hugely popular Italian restaurant in New York owned by a proprietor and bookmaker.

Refreshingly professional mixture of melodrama, humor, haute cuisine and suspense full of memorable moments.

Halliwell **: "Enjoyable movie which uses food as an indicator of changing tastes and moral values, though everyone here gets their just desserts."

Maltin ***: "Flavorful film has the ring of truth - inside the kitchen and out - and is brimming with life."


Kathleen Burbridge


Dodge City (1939)



A Texas cattle agent witnesses first hand, the brutal lawlessness of Dodge City and takes the job of sheriff to clean the town up.

Lively and  good-humored Western adventure, typical for the Curtiz-Flynn-De Havilland movie series of the time.

Halliwell ***: "Standard, satisfying big-scale Western with all cliches intact and very enjoable, as is the soft, rich early colour. The story is plainly inspired by the exploits of Wyatt Earp."

Maltin ***: "...entertaining large-scale Western, withh Warner Bros. stock company and the granddaddyof all barroom brawls. The principal inspiration for BLAZING SADDLES."
