" Bosley Crowther, in a somewhat ambivalent review, concludes " some very credible acting on the part of Mr. Grant and Miss Dunne is responsible in the main for the infectious quality of the film.

It was described by Bosley Crowther as, " whoop-de-doo ... one of the finest ever put on the screen.

" Crowther said that the film " turgidly unfolds on the screen ," and is " one of the bulkiest blunders to come out of Hollywood in some time.

According to Bosley Crowther, Since You Went Away, Selznick's first screen production in four years, features a script with an " excess of exhausting emotional detail "; Crowther was impressed with the performances but had issues with the film as a whole:

Bosley Crowther of the New York Times observed, " In adapting for the screen Arthur Laurents ' stage play The Time of the Cuckoo, Mr. Lean and H. E. Bates discarded most of the individual shadings and psychological subtleties of that romance.

While observing that the system " may be hailed as providing a new and valid entertainment thrill ," Crowther expressed some skeptical reserve, saying " the very size and sweep of the Cinerama screen would seem to render it impractical for the story-telling techniques now employed in film ....

Bosley Crowther, film critic for The New York Times, liked the film, the acting, and Hitchcock's direction, and wrote, " With all the skill in presentation for which both gentlemen are famed, David O. Selznick and Alfred Hitchcock have put upon the screen a slick piece of static entertainment in their garrulous The Paradine Case ... Gregory Peck is impressively impassioned as the famous young London barrister who lets his heart, cruelly captured by his client, rule his head.

The New York Times film critic Bosley Crowther praised Fellini ’ s “ brilliantly graphic estimation of a whole swath of society in sad decay and, eventually, a withering commentary on the tragedy of the over-civilized … Fellini is nothing if not fertile, fierce and urbane in calculating the social scene around him and packing it onto the screen.

" According to Bosley Crowther, the film is " perhaps the most elaborate ' pops ' concert ever played upon the screen "; Blyth's voice is " reedy " but " Lanza has an excellent young tenor voice and ... uses it in his many numbers with impressive dramatic power.

Bosley Crowther called Wise's direction " tight and strong " and the film a " sharp, hard, suspenseful melodrama " with a " sheer dramatic build-up ... of an artistic caliber that is rarely achieved on the screen.

Bosley Crowther of the New York Times said the " most haunting of American musical dramas has been transmitted on the screen in a way that does justice to its values and almost compensates for the long wait.

However, Bosley Crowther in The New York Times wrote: “ The most distracting nonsense is the pop-up of familiar faces in so-called cameo roles, jarring the illusion .” Shana Alexander in Life Magazine stated: “ The pace was so stupefying that I felt not uplifted – but sandbagged !” And John Simon – later notorious as the frequently scathing theater and film critic of New York Magazine – wrote in the National Review: " God is unlucky in The Greatest Story Ever Told.

Crowther wrote The Lion's Share: The Story of an Entertainment Empire ( 1957 ), the first book documenting the history of MGM, as well as Hollywood Rajah: The Life and Times of Louis B. Mayer ( 1960 ), a biography of that studio's head.

" Crowther approved of movies with social content, such as Citizen Kane, The Grapes of Wrath, Gone With the Wind, The Lost Weekend, and All the King's Men.

Bosley Crowther of the New York Times wrote, " As much as we hate to say so, Miss Lawrence's performance does not compare with the tender and radiant creation of the late Laurette Taylor on the stage.

When the film was released, New York Times film critic Bosley Crowther, liked the direction of the film and the acting, writing, " Yet such is the role that Mr. Sinatra plays in Suddenly !, a taut little melodrama that ... shapes up as one of the slickest recent items in the minor movie league ... we have several people to thank-particularly Richard Sale for a good script, which tells a straight story credibly, Mr. Allen for direction that makes both excitement and sense, Mr. Bassler for a production that gets the feel of a small town and the cast which includes Sterling Hayden, James Gleason and Nancy Gates.

While film critic Bosley Crowther gave the film a mixed review, he still appreciated the acting, and wrote, " Yet, as we say, this flapdoodle, written by Ben Hecht and Andrew Solt from a novel by Guy Endore, has been handsomely produced and played by a cast which is distinguished by José Ferrer in its midst.

Critic Bosley Crowther was not impressed with the atmospherics of the film and panned the film due to its screenplay, writing, " We wish we could recommend it as a perfect combination of the styles of the eminent Mr. Hitchcock and the old German psychological films, for that is plainly and precisely what it tries very hard to be.

Film critic Bosley Crowther wrote, " Not having intimate knowledge of prisons or prisoners, we wouldn't know whether the average American convict is so cruelly victimized as are the principal prison inmates in Brute Force, which came to Loew's Criterion yesterday.

While he was working on it, he had discovered and played Crowther and Woods ' Colossal Cave Adventure at the Stanford Artificial Intelligence Laboratory, and decided that a graphical video game version " would be really cool ".

However, it later became apparent that Crowther would not be able to return.

A notable example is that of Stan Crowther and Ernie Taylor who would normally have been ineligible to play for Manchester United in 1958 cup competition, but who were allowed to play following the Munich air disaster, in which eight United players died and two others were so seriously injured that they never played again.

Crowther did stage shows around the country and when possible would take his family with him.

In August 1992, Rita Rees of the Bristol Headway branch, a brain injury charity, introduced herself to Crowther at Bath railway station, told him about Headway's work, and asked him if he would visit Headway house, a recovery centre for people who had suffered brain injuries.

Crowther retired from showbusiness on 4 November 1994, recognising that " I wouldn't be able to do things I've done the way I would want to, and the way my fans would expect ".

Joseph Severn maintained that the last draft was transcribed into the book in late September 1820 while they were aboard the ship Maria Crowther, travelling to Rome, from where the very sick Keats would never return.

Crowther also had a barely-concealed disdain for Joan Crawford when reviewing her films, referring to her acting style as " artificiality " and " pretentiousness ", and would also chide Crawford for her physical bearing.

Bosley Crowther of the New York Times called the film " a cynical farce of elaborate and sustained cheapness " that " deserves to be quoted as a classic of dullness " and observed, " Without taking sides in a controversy of such titanic proportions, it is no more than gallantry to observe that if Bette Davis had not effectually espoused her own cause against the Warners recently by quitting her job, the Federal Government eventually would have had to step in and do something about her.

From 1964-67 Crowther presented Meet The Kids, an annual trip to a children's hospital ward that was screened by the BBC on Christmas Morning.

The new parish church ; St James, was built in 1864-65 to a design by J. S. Crowther.

In the words of Geoffrey Crowther, then editor of The Economist, " If the economic relationships between nations are not, by one means or another, brought fairly close to balance, then there is no set of financial arrangements that can rescue the world from the impoverishing results of chaos.

The current Executive Producer is Kieran Roberts who was once a Producer of " Emmerdale " and the Producer is ex-Doctor Who producer Phil Collinson, who took over from Kim Crowther in summer 2010.

Crowther said that Davis " does nicely as the fiancée who is widowed herself and knows the loneliness of grief ," while another noted critic, The Washington Post < nowiki >'</ nowiki > s Richard L. Coe, said Davis " is splendid as the understanding widow.

She soon starred in the 1953 science fiction film Donovan's Brain ; Crowther said that Davis, playing the role of a possessed scientist's " sadly baffled wife ", " walked through it all in stark confusion " in an " utterly silly " film.

BBC film critic Jane Crowther said that " Cruz is wonderfully ditzy as the innocent abroad " but remarked that " it's Harold Perrineau Jr as Monica who pockets the movie.
