Henry V (1944) more movies like this

directed by Laurence Olivier
featuring Laurence Olivier, Robert Newton, Renée Ashershon, Esmond Knight, Leslie Banks, Leo Genn, Felix Aylmer, Janet Burnell

Laurence Olivier's adaptation of Henry V is one of the finest Shakespeare films ever made, full of rousing action, beautiful colors and passionate performances. Henry V is the story of the newly crowned king of England who fights the French for possession of Normandy. Olivier's direction is inventive, beginning the film as if it were a performance ...

Treasure Island

Treasure Island (1950) more movies like this

directed by Byron Haskin
featuring Bobby Driscoll, Robert Newton, Basil Sydney, Walter Fitzgerald, Denis O'Dea

The Walt Disney production of the Robert Louis Stevenson classic novel Treasure Island is one of the company's best live-action films of the '50s, and one of the best family-oriented adventures ever filmed. Bobby Driscoll plays Jim Hawkins, a young cabin boy who battles the pirate Long John Silver (Robert Newton) for a treasure. Disney changes the ...

Around the World in 80 Days

Around the World in 80 Days (1956) more movies like this

directed by Michael Anderson
featuring David Niven, Cantinflas, Robert Newton, Shirley MacLaine, Charles Boyer

Razzle-dazzle showman Michael Todd hocked everything he had to make this spectacular presentation of Jules Verne's 1872 novel Around the World in 80 Days, the second film to be lensed in the wide-screen Todd-AO production. Nearly as fascinating as the finished product are the many in-production anecdotes concerning Todd's efforts to pull the wool ...

The Desert Rats

The Desert Rats (1953) more movies like this

directed by Robert Wise
featuring Richard Burton, Robert Newton, Robert Douglas, James Mason, Torin Thatcher, Chips Rafferty

The Desert Rats was a quickly assembled follow-up to 20th Century-Fox's successful war film The Desert Fox. Richard Burton plays an officer in the British Eighth Army, battling Rommel's forces in defense of Tobruk. Put in charge of an Australian unit, Burton rides his men ruthlessly, with laudatory results. He is briefly captured by the Nazis and ...

Oliver Twist

Oliver Twist (1948) more movies like this

directed by David Lean
featuring Robert Newton, Alec Guinness, Kay Walsh, Francis L. Sullivan, John Howard Davies

The second of director David Lean's adaptations of a Charles Dickens novel (Great Expectations (1946) was the first), Oliver Twist expertly boils down an enormous novel to a little less than two hours' screen time. The film begins with baby Oliver left on the doorstep of an orphanage/workhouse by his unwed mother. Proving a difficult charge to the ...

Jamaica Inn

Jamaica Inn (1939) more movies like this

directed by Alfred Hitchcock
featuring Charles Laughton, Maureen O'Hara, Emlyn Williams, Hay Petrie, Robert Newton, Leslie Banks, Basil Radford, Frederick Piper

Alfred Hitchcock directed this disappointing misfire, memorable solely for the fact is that it is the final film from Hitchcock's early British period before he left for the Hollywood studio system and David O. Selznick. In the England of the 1800s, a group of ruthless smugglers, led by Sir Humphrey Pengallon (Charles Laughton), prey on ships by ...

Long John Silver

Long John Silver (1953) more movies like this

directed by Byron Haskin
featuring Robert Newton, Kit Taylor, Connie Gilchrist, Eric Reiman, Syd Chambers

Robert Newton repeats his Treasure Island role as Long John Silver in this Australian adventure film--and if anything, Newton is even more out of control this time around than he'd been in the earlier picture. Paying only lip service to the Robert Louis Stevenson original, the film is made up of several marginally related episodes. In the first, ...

Androcles and the Lion

Androcles and the Lion (1952) more movies like this

directed by Chester Erskine
featuring Jean Simmons, Alan Young, Victor Mature, Robert Newton, Maurice Evans

With George Bernard Shaw safely in his grave, RKO chief Howard Hughes had no qualms about twisting and bending Shaw's Androcles & the Lion to accommodate his own notions of entertainment. Happier, wiser heads prevailed before the Hughes-commissioned "Vestal Virgins" sequence, complete with near-naked dancing girls, was foisted on the public. ...

This Happy Breed

This Happy Breed (1944) more movies like this

directed by David Lean
featuring Robert Newton, Celia Johnson, John Mills, Kay Walsh, Stanley Holloway

With This Happy Breed, playwright Noel Coward hoped to glorify the British working class in the same manner that he'd celebrated the "higher orders" in Cavalcade. The film begins just after World War I. Middle-class Londoner Robert Newton hopes to improve his family's lot by moving them into a comparatively posh house in the suburbs. The house is ...

Les Miserables (1952) more movies like this

directed by Lewis Milestone
featuring Michael Rennie, Debra Paget, Robert Newton, Edmund Gwenn, Sylvia Sidney

Not up to the classic 1935 presentation, this is still an excellent adaptation of Victor Hugo's epic novel. The familiar characters of Valjean and Javert and the agonies of injustice are all portrayed convincingly against a backdrop of 18th century France. Tana Hobart, All Movie Guide

The Beachcomber (1954) more movies like this

directed by Muriel Box
featuring Glynis Johns, Robert Newton, Donald Sinden, Paul Rogers, Donald Pleasence

This second film version of Somerset Maugham's Vessel of Wrath lacks the casual charm of the first (which starred Charles Laughton and Elsa Lanchester), but is otherwise quite entertaining. Robert Newton stars as Honorable Ted, a slovenly, bibulous South Sea Island beachcomber. The black sheep of a prominent British family, Ted is paid an annual ...

Gaslight (1940) more movies like this

directed by Thorold Dickinson
featuring Anton Walbrook, Diana Wynyard, Frank Pettingell, Cathleen Cordell, Robert Newton

The 1940 British production of Gaslight was the first of two cinematic adaptations of Patrick Hamilton's play. Oozing faux continental charm, Anton Walbrook inveigles his way into the confidence of the young mistress (Diana Wynyard) of a large Victorian mansion. Walbrook is searching for the rubies that he'd stolen from the previous owner of the ...

directed by Edward Dmytryk

Blacklisted in Hollywood, director Edward Dmytryk managed to find work in England. Dmytryk's Obsession is based on Alec Coppel's suspense play A Man About a Dog. Robert Newton stars as Dr. Clive Riordan, the insanely jealous husband of unfaithful Storm Riordan (Sally Gray). Aware that Storm is having a torrid affair with an American named Bill ...

The Beachcomber

The Beachcomber (1938) more movies like this

directed by Bartlett Cormack, Erich Pommer
featuring Charles Laughton, Elsa Lanchester, Tyrone Guthrie, Robert Newton, Dolly Mollinger

Based on a story by Somerset Maugham, The Beachcomber was originally released in Great Britain as Vessel of Wrath. This English version was much franker--and much more fun--than the abbreviated, watered-down US release prints. Even the American version, however, is successful in capturing the spirit of Maugham's tale of slovenly remittance man ...
