Actually, it was from the head as much as anything: a movie that arose from Francis Coppola’s shrewd, professional calculation that he could create and control an entire old-fashioned Hollywood romantic drama from his own studio, Zeotrope. The result was a lavish production which was very ambitious, hubristically or perhaps even ruinously so. But at the same time it looks oddly small scale, emotionally parochial and essentially monogamous – certainly a downshift from the colossal sweep of Apocalypse Now or The…

Photo by Joi Pearson Photography/WireImage, As you’d expect, Jonathan Majors‘ team have profusely professed his innocence ever since charges were first leveled against the Marvel Cinematic Universe star, but things took an interesting turn when he appeared via Zoom for a virtual court appearance. While the Disney-owned comic book conglomerate has remained radio silent on Majors ever since the accusations first broke, it’s beginning to look increasingly likely that there’s going to be no other option but to…

Scottish actor Brian Cox poses…

Gregory Peck plays Joe, a US news stringer in Rome who one night stumbles across the story of the century: a beautiful, shy young woman, eager for some adventure with him as her guide. She turns out to be demure Princess Ann, from an imaginary European country, who has escaped from all the embassy stuffed shirts and is now incognito and…
