The ultimate failure of the film may be attributed to an insurmountable discrepancy of intention among writer, director, and [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[[Originally published in Movietone News 51, August 1976] Attention to detail is of the essence in a fantasy film. If fantasy is to have the desired effect, everything hinges on the viewer&#8217;s willingness to suspend disbelief and submit to the film&#8217;s premises wherever they may take him. But if every shot, every moment, every idea [...]]]></description>

Now I&#8217;m just as surprised to find that I am relatively alone in having liked the [...]]]></description>

But, as already hailed in other quarters, Amicus Productions&#8217; From Beyond the Grave may well be the best one since Dead of Night.

		<description><![CDATA[[Originally published in Movietone News 52, October 1976] Like most films with a baseball setting, The Bingo Long Traveling All-stars and Motor Kings is not essentially about baseball. Not that baseball is altogether a bad thing for a movie to be about (though in these days of the once-great sport&#8217;s waning popularity a real baseball [...]]]></description>

Gordon&#8217;s initials form a whimsically appropriate acronym for the work of a man whose directorial stock-in-trade since the middle Fifties has been giantism.
