Movies starring Stanley Baker

Lilli Marlene (1950)

74 mins     Drama      

I could sum up the movie "Lilli Marlene" by saying it is a so so war movie from 1950 which whilst giving us this to and thro battle between the Germans and the allies also gives us a love story as Steve and Lilli fall for eac...

The Cruel Sea (1953)

126 mins     Drama, War      

The Cruel Sea (1953) WWII movie starring Jack Hawkins as Commander Ericson who leads his men aboard the HMS Compass Rose on missions to retrieve survivors and sink U-Boats

...

Knights of the Round Table (1953)

115 mins     Action , Adventure , Drama      

Unless you trust my opinion through reading and agreeing with my other movie reviews I suggest you watch "Knights of the Round Table" for yourself. I say this because there is a diverse opinion about this 1950's historical ep...

The Red Beret (1953)

88 mins     Drama, War      

Are you a movie lover or a war expert? Sounds a weird question but it is an important one when it comes to war movies especially older ones made about WWII and it is important when it comes to "The Red Beret" which was retitl...

The Good Die Young (1954)

100 mins     Crime, Drama, Thriller      

"The Good Die Young" is a pretty decent stab at British film-noir with an interesting storyline of 4 men lead together through different forms of disappointment to try and stage a robbery. The only trouble is that whilst the ...

Hell Below Zero (1954)

90 mins     Action , Adventure , Drama      

I don't do this as a rule but let me list the faults which occur in "Hell Below Zero". Firstly there is the less than convincing way the actors are shot in front of screens, not once does it come close to looking believable. ...

Helen of Troy (1956)

118 mins     Adventure , Drama      

If I sat there with a list of things I expected from a movie claiming to be a historical epic "Helen of Troy" would tick the majority of the boxes. Some of those boxes it would tick would be an impressive look with director R...

Campbell's Kingdom (1957)

102 mins     Adventure , Drama      

It would be so easy for me to rip "Campbell's Kingdom" to shreds, heck any movie which features Sid James delivering a heavy American accent is opening up for a bit of ribbing. In fact with this being a predominantly British ...

Hell Drivers (1957)

106 mins     Drama, Thriller      

I've heard "Hell Drivers" described as a social drama, a snapshot of 1950s life but if like me you know your westerns you will spot a familiar storyline. Here we have a story of a former convict wanting to go straight and fin...

The Guns of Navarone (1961)

158 mins     Action , Adventure , Drama, War      

I've said it before and will undoubtedly say it again but they don't make them like they use to. "The Guns of Navarone" is an almost perfect example of how you take what is a simple storyline, layer it up with action, tension...

Zulu (1964)

138 mins     Drama, War      

Based upon real events I find myself strangely conflicted by "Zulu", one of those must watch movies for anyone who is serious about movies. Now on one hand "Zulu" is amazing, it is well acted, tense and visually spectacular e...

Sands of the Kalahari (1965)

119 mins     Adventure , Drama      

A small plane with a few passengers are forced to crash land in the middle of nowhere and hope that someone will come to rescue them. I could be describing any number of movies such as John Wayne's "Island in the Sky", the 90...
