Jayne Mansfield's 2 big attributes (Talent & Fame) is outshone by the cameo appearances of Little Richard & Eddie Cochran hepls make this a Rock & Roll Classic.Only because it was shot in colour & Edmund Obrien was in it as a Rock & Roll manager.

Dennis Quaid's portrayl of "The Killer" was poor. Thank God the producers didn't tamper with "The Killer's" music which was genuine & save the day from being a complete flop. Nothing like "Ray" who Lewis admired.

Diector Michael Kurtize brought the best out of Elvis,but Elvis still rated poorly as an actor with his 2 year tour of duty ahead of him when film was made.Elvis' songs saved the day with this B & W movie,nothing as good as the read "A Stone For Danny Fisher".

Rocky - PG
|
|
The 1st Rocky film in the franchise series stands out as the best for Sylvester Stallone by a knockout when shot in 1976.It's the film that has inspired nations,winning Oscars for Best Picture & Best Director. Rocky is still a rousing crowd-pleaser each time it is shown to send spirits soaring. 5 stars for a film that has remained an exultant knockout for being believable. It turned Stallone into a millionaire.It's hard to understand why 4 other "Rocky" movies followed.

A true story of injustice and horror that surrounds wsar when The British & the Boers in South Africa in 1901 had deteriorated into bitter guerilla warfare.."Breaker Morant" has been acclaimed the best Australian movies ever made.See it & you'll understand why it has won 5 stars from me.No "Aussie" critic would give it less.Stars Jack Thompson,Edward Woodward & Bryan Brown.Shot around the "old" mining town of Burra & in the Norwood Studios of the South Australian Film Corporation in 1978.
