REVIEWS
THE IRON CURTAIN
“The cinematography is fantastic — Wellman treats it as noir all the way, with the Russians as gangsters and the Canadian settings give it a wintry splendor.”
– David Cairns
THE PRESIDENT VANISHES
“An outstanding thriller… Along with The Conquerors, Heroes for Sale, and Wild Boys of the Road, represents a significant commentary on the uncertain Depression years in America, an extraordinary group of films in their day.”
– John Andrew Gallagher & Frank Thompson
