      Jean-Luc Godard Cahiers du Cinéma I believe that the unexpected charm of certain scenes comes from what one can call 'The Hollywood Machine'. It is very worn out and often goes wrong nowadays, but it can still deliver the goods. Which it does here. Sep 1, 2021 Full Review Read all reviews

      Ashley H The Wayward Bus is an okay film. It is about three strangers who embark on a life-changing journey. Joan Collins and Jayne Mansfield give decent performances. The screenplay is a little slow in places. Victor Vicas did an alright job directing this movie. I liked this motion picture because of the drama. Rated 3 out of 5 stars 09/10/23 Full Review Victor T Jayne is so good in this non-babytalk role. Joan is the lesser of two beauties, though top ranked. Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 04/05/23 Full Review TJ M It's a Gem, a beautifully shot and well written story. Jayne always deserved better, but Hollywood ripped her apart, same as Marilyn. She is still a legend in my eyes/mind!! Rated 5 out of 5 stars 11/06/22 Full Review Audience Member great period piece with excellent acting by the ensemble, good writing, direction... wish Mitxhum was the bus driver but this guy does a fine job.... worthy of a choice Rated 5 out of 5 stars 01/22/23 Full Review Audience Member Well done! This is 1957 black & white movie and it has everything! Thrill, comedy, romance, danger, action, sad, shock and surprise! I got Twilight Time Limited Edition Blu-ray and HD picture and dts sound were great! Get it before it's gone! Rated 5 out of 5 stars 02/04/23 Full Review Audience Member Rather good adaptation of the Steinbeck novel although Victor Vicas' direction is somehow nondescript, but the film is worth seeing for its cast. Jayne Mansfield was a good actress and she shows it in this unglamourous role. cast also includes Joan Collins and Dan Dailey.
