Reviews from this publication only count toward the Tomatometer® when written by the following Tomatometer-approved critic(s): Vernon Young. Movie Reviews TV Season Reviews Prev Next Rating Title | Year Author Quote The Wages of Fear (1953) Vernon Young Cluzot’s treatment of the finale (I sighed in relief at his staying with the juggernaut irony of the book) is a tour de force. The actors are inordinately real, especially Charles Vanel. Posted Jan 30, 2024 Edit critic review Lust for Life (1956) Vernon Young By way of summary it should suffice if I declare that the film Lust for Life is monstrously inept. Its account -- no warmer word is appropriate -- of the life and art of one Vincent Van Gogh is not so much wrong as it is wrong-headed -- or wrong-hearted. Posted Jan 30, 2024 Edit critic review On the Waterfront (1954) Vernon Young It has a persuasiveness of characterization, for the most part, rare on the American screen, not because actors are lacking to convey it but because it is so seldom elicited either by their material or their directors. Posted Jan 17, 2024 Edit critic review The Detective (1954) Vernon Young Alec Guinness commits his first major blunder since his comic ascendancy. Posted Jan 17, 2024 Edit critic review Gate of Hell (1953) Vernon Young The Gate of Hell, filmed in Eastman color by Teinosuke Kinugasa, is yet another (and not the least sanguinary) version of that complete ease and refinement of power which enthralled us in the art of Kurasawa and Mizoguchi.
