Movies starring John Qualen

Sing and Like It (1934)

72 mins     Comedy      

"Sing and Like It" is the sort of old movie that you have to be in the right frame of mind to watch, an almost forgiving mind because of one joke which is repeated again and again. That joke is Zasu Pitts singing, although it...

Seventh Heaven (1937)

102 mins     Drama, Romance      

I never realised that those who lived in Paris in 1914 had Pennsylvanian accents, okay so James Stewart doing James Stewart with all the usual "aaaws" is probably better than him trying to deliver an accent but it is one of t...

His Girl Friday (1940)

92 mins     Comedy, Drama, Romance      

It would be a fair judgement to say that great movies never grow tiresome, you can watch them time after time and still get as much out of them as you did the very first time. Howard Hawk's "His Girl Friday" is one such movie...

The Long Voyage Home (1940)

105 mins     Drama, War      

Whilst John Ford and John Wayne collaborated to give us some of cinema's biggest and most popular movies, they were not all purely star vehicles for John Wayne. One which wasn't a star vehicle was "The Long Voyage Home" which...

Jungle Book (1942)

108 mins     Action , Adventure      

Watching the "Jungle Book", the 1942 version which involved all three of the Korda brothers, now is quite hard because frankly like so many movies of their time it is incredibly dated. But try and put yourself in the place of...

Arabian Nights (1942)

86 mins     Action , Adventure      

Arabian Nights (1942) Jon Hall stars as the Kalif who with the help of dancer Sherazade (Maria Montez) and acrobat Ali (Sabu) sets out to reclaim his throne from his treacherous brother...

Dark Waters (1944)

90 mins     Drama, Mystery      

I had great hopes for "Dark Waters" because it is a relatively early insanity movie, a sub genre which I enjoy but often find myself disappointed by because of the lack of originality. I was hoping coming early on there would...

The Fugitive (1947)

104 mins     Drama      

Whilst I watch and review lots of movies, many from a long time ago which would not necessarily interest modern movie fans I still count myself as a movie fan rather than a movie buff. Why do I say this? Well it is because of...

Woman on the Run (1950)

77 mins     Crime, Drama, Thriller      

Warning this review contains a spoiler, most of the reviews I read have, so if you would rather not know just find a copy of this movie and watch it. Now "Woman on the Run" is a movie which really works on 3 levels although m...

Ambush at Tomahawk Gap (1953)

73 mins     Western      

Having watched and loved many westerns I have a loose rule, if I haven't heard of a western the chances are it will be ordinary, a typical b-movie which retreads familiar ground on a low budget. That rule is proven by "Ambush...

The High and the Mighty (1954)

141 mins     Action , Adventure , Disaster, Drama      

When you think of airplane orientated disaster movies the chances are you will think of "Airport" and most likely the disaster spoof "Airplane" but the chances are you wont think of "The High and the Mighty" starring John Way...

The Sea Chase (1955)

117 mins     Action , Drama, War      

"The Sea Chase" is a good movie but one with a problem, John Wayne. Now the trouble is that not only does it feel plainly wrong to watch John Wayne playing a German but because we basically have John Wayne playing John Wayne,...

At Gunpoint (1955)

81 mins     Western      

Movie Review - At Gunpoint (1955) Fred MacMurray stars as Jack, an accidental hero when he shot an outlaw but now faces the threat of the rest of the outlaw gang returning to town to get revenge...

The Searchers (1956)

119 mins     Adventure , Drama, Western      

The Searchers: John Wayne stars as Ethan Edwards in John Ford's western about a man's 5 year search for his niece (Natalie Wood) having been abducted by Comanches...

The Man Who Shot Liberty Valance (1962)

118 mins     Drama, Romance, Western      

"The Man Who Shot Liberty Valance" is often regarded as a great western and as such has all those components you would expect from a western, the gunfights, the tough cowboys, the stand offs but it has something more, a truly...
