The Bells of St. Mary's

Bing Crosby, Ingrid Bergman

Republic Pictures, 2003

Just what Mom likes
Bought this as a Valentine gift for my Mother who is 81 years old. This is just what she likes and was very pleased.

That's Entertainment

Fred Astaire, Bing Crosby

Warner Home Video, 2004

For Widescreen Viewers
I'm a purist and love to see the productions in their original aspect ratio. Having a widescreen HDTV adds to this pleasure, but could also have made viewing "That's Entertainment" problematic because of the film's mix of clips from the pre- and post-widescreen eras. ...

Robin and the Seven Hoods

Frank Sinatra, Dean Martin

Warner Home Video, 2008

Sinatra and his Hoods
In early 1960's, Frank Sinatra and his Rat Pack were asked to do a musical, after the hit film Ocean's 11 (note for those unfamilar, this is NOT the Clooney version). Frank, Dean and Sammy did their version of Robin Hood. Supporting them in this film were Barbara ...

White Christmas

Rosemary Clooney, Bing Crosby

Paramount Home Video, 2007

A Great Old Christmas Favorite!
I grew up with this old Christmas favorite, and it is one of my annual Christmas rituals to watch this film along with some wonderful film versions of Dickens' A Christmas Carol. The music is wonderful, and Danny Kaye and Bing Crosby make a great team, as do Rosemary ...

The Adventures of Ichabod and Mr. Toad (Disney Gold Classic Collection)

Bing Crosby, Basil Rathbone

RKO Radio Pictures, 2000

Ichabod and Mr Toad
I am lucky enough to have a beautiful 16mm copy of this film. While the video is probably great, the beautiful technicolor lines in a large movie screen show the sheer brilliant animation of the Disney staff. The songs are wonderful and the story line moves very well, ...

Overboard

Frank Campanella, Ed Cree

MGM (Video & DVD), 1999

Adorable movie!
Totally entertaining. Heartwarming and funny, and Goldie Hawn and Kurt Russell are simply magical together. I enjoyed every minute and even applauded at the end.

Going My Way (Universal Cinema Classics)

Bing Crosby, Barry Fitzgerald

Universal Studios, 2007

Good clean entertainment
For those of you who are tired of the violence, filthy language,raw sarcasm, and constant bombardment of sex in today's films, you will find Going My Way an endearing and refreshing change of pace. This is a movie for anyone anytime. Don't forget to watch its sequel, ...

Holiday Inn (Special Edition)

Bing Crosby, Fred Astaire

Universal Studios, 2006

New 3-disc Collector's Set due out October 14th, 2008! Details compared
This is one of the great films, with Bing Crosby and Fred Astaire doing some of their most memorable work to some of the better music of Irving Berlin, including the debut of his all-time most popular "White Christmas." The plot is clever, if somewhat silly, the ...

That's Entertainment, Pt. 2

Louis Armstrong, Fred Astaire

Warner Home Video, 2004

Has no peer
This sequel to the 50th Anniversary compilation from 1974, is a treat. Some critics dissected Gene Kelly on the account he was producing is own memorial service... Morbid indeed... It is a flawless, wonderful compilation. Many studios have tried to copy the excellense ...

A Connecticut Yankee In King Arthur's Court/The Emperor Waltz - Double Feature

Bing Crosby, Joan Fontaine

Paramount Pictures, 2003

A great Movie adaptation
The adaptation of Mark Twain's book "A Connecticut Yankee in King Arthur's Court" to the screen left in the fun parts of the story and took out all the point of the book. The book contains many lessons and thoughts that did not make it into the movie; one of the ...

Jolson Sings Again

Larry Parks, Barbara Hale

Sony Pictures, 2003

Fabulous Movie
This has got to be one of the best all time musicals. It's no wonder Al Jolsen was considered one of the the greatest entertainers of all times. My kids and grandkids love these two movies of his life. And I knew most all the songs. How? My mom and dad used to sing his ...

The Road to Hong Kong

Bing Crosby, Bob Hope

MGM (Video & DVD), 2002

The last "Road to..." movie & worth the money
When I first came across this movie I was a bit skeptical- how would it stand up next to the earlier pictures? Boy am I glad I went ahead and added it to my collection. It's at least as funny, and may even be a bit better than the all the others!

Bob Hope - Hope for the Holidays

Bob Hope, Dolores Hope

R2 Entertainment, 2004

Bob Hope - You couldn't do better
My dad got to see Bob Hope over in England during WW-2. I missed him by a day in Subic Bay, Philippines. Bob Hope is said to have been the greatest comedian ever. Who am I to argue? I lived for his Christmas TV specials every winter, and I rolled on the floor to ...
