Up the Down Staircase (1967)

she (actress Sandy Dennis) has made an acting style out of post-nasal drip.

Pauline Kael

Whatever Happened to Baby Jane (1962)

You mean all this time we could have been Friends?

On the Beach at Malibu. Baby Jane Hudson (Bette Davis) after her sister Blanche (Joan Crawford) reveals that Jane was not driving the car on that fateful night.

Double Indemnity (1944)

Masturbatory fantasy triple distilled.

James Agee

Goodbye Mr. Chips (1969)

…with songs where they are not needed (and Leslie Bricusse ‘s songs are never needed)

Pauline Kael

The House on Carroll Street (1988)

She could be Charlton Heston’s daughter. (Referring to the performance of actress Kelly McGillis in the now long forgotten 1988 movie).

Pauline Kael

Someone to Watch Over Me (1987)

After watching Tom Berenger and Mimi Rogers for a while, you look around for the stars.

Pauline Kael

The Nanny (1965)

You gotta hand it to Davis, tough, she is a star. When she can’t dominate a movie with a good performance, she dominates it with a bad one.

Pauline Kael

Idiot’s Delight (1939)

But oh that Shearer!

Pauline Kael

Dr. Zhivago (1965)

It isn’t shoddy (except for the music); it isn’t soap opera; it’s stately, respectable and dead. Neither the contemplative Zhivago nor the flow of events is intelligible, and what is worse, they seem unrelated to each other.

Pauline Kael

Runaway Train (1986)

Even the train overacts!

Pauline Kael
