This Week on The Movie Gourmet – new reviews of the engrossing indie family drama East of Wall and the totally unexpected reveal of the familiar, Sunday Best: The Untold Story of Ed Sullivan on Netflix.
REMEMBRANCE
I loved Terence Stamp. Stamp, of course was a 1960s British star as a dreamy leading man (Billy Budd, The Collector, Far from the Madding Crowd). I’ve felt that his best work was in his middle age and since: still magnetic in The Hit, The Limey, and The Adjustment Bureau. And as recently as 2021, in Last Night in Soho, with his still striking features and dead-cold eyes, he looked dangerous from at the first glimpse.
