Movies starring Don Taylor

Battleground (1949)

118 mins     Action , Drama, War      

As I often do before watching an old movie I look at opinions from others hopefully to find reactions of those who watched "Battleground" nearer the time it was released. What I found was a lot of reviews from American's proc...

Father of the Bride (1950)

92 mins     Comedy, Romance      

I have always had a soft spot for the 1991 version of "Father of the Bride" and when I first saw it I had no idea that it was a remake. Since then I have watched the original "Father of the Bride" a couple of times, once when...

I grew up watching "The Great Escape" and whilst I appreciate it may not be the greatest prisoner of war drama made for a long time I felt it was the most entertaining. I am now torn because having recently watched Billy Wild...

Destination Gobi (1953)

90 mins     Adventure , Drama, War      

"Destination Gobi" tells us at the start it is based on an obscure entry in the Navy records in Washington called 'Saddles for Gobi' and that the movie is based on this strange story from WWII. And yes the story of a small Na...

The Truman Show (1998)

112 mins     Comedy, Drama, Fantasy      

I'll be honest; I really disliked "The Truman Show" when it was released in 1998, maybe because it wasn't like anything else that Jim Carrey had done before or maybe because I just didn't get it. But a few years later and hav...
