June 18: Indiana Jones and the Last
Crusade starring Harrison Ford and Sean Connery. Directed by
Steven Spielberg in 1989. This film is rated PG-13 and runs 127 minutes.
Take a good look at this movie. In fact, go back
four or five times and take four or five good looks. In this imperfect world,
you're not likely to see many manmade objects come this close to perfection. –Ralph
Novak, People Magazine
As usual, the action is on an epic scale and
delivered with breathless enthusiasm and much panache by director Steven Spielberg.

Clift's man-in-crisis performance is one

black-and-white cinematography. ---Walter Chaw
