High and Dry Ratings & Reviews
Dennis Schwartz Movie Reviews
Dennis Schwartz
The Ealing comedy is gentle sailing.
Film Frenzy
Matt Brunson
Ealing films stand out because the wit has bite and consequently the stories have sting. Rarely, though, are they mean-spirited, which isn't the case with The Maggie.
Battleship Pretension
David Bax
...Mackendrick allows no illusions that the crew of The Maggie are anything but criminals.
