The Browning Version (1951) – Film Review
May 27, 2022
Very solid adaptation of the 1948 play written by Terence Rattigan, lead by a terrific performance by Michael Redgrave as Master Andrew Crocker-Harris.

Very sweet and fun adaptation of Harold Brighouse’s play of the same name soberly directed by the master David Lean.
Reality and invention, documentary and fiction, the lines that divide those different concepts get completely blurred in this unorthodox film made by the brothers Taviani, where real-life inmates prepare a theatrical production of William Shakespeare’s classic “Julius Caesar”.
Luc Merenda goes full Dirty Harry in this rather weak poliziottesco with some intended political flavour and trying too hard on providing us with some thrilling car chases.
With a clear influence from William Friedkin’s classic The French Connection (1971), Enzo G. Castellari directs this irregular but very enjoyable poliziottesco with Franco Nero on the lead as Commissioner Belli and (here one of the clear connections to The French Connection) Fernando Rey as an aging mob boss.
