From Here to Eternity
Claude Akins, Harry Bellaver
Sony Pictures, 2001
From Here to a Classic
From Here to Eternity is more than the classic scene of Deborah Kerr and Burt Lancaster rolling around on a beach, covered in ocean waves. It's a story about America during World War II. It's about human beings trying to live normal lives during an abnormal time. ...

Heaven Knows Mr. Allison
Deborah Kerr, Robert Mitchum
Fox Home Entertainment, 2003
Great story! (Allison Crusoe and Angela Friday versus the Japanese)
African Queen is one of my favorite movies ever, and Bogie and Hepburn as Charlie and Rosie were the best film couple ever. Here, Huston adapts the Allnut story to a Robinson Crusoe set up in WW2 in the South Pacific. Kerr can't quite carry Sister Angela to the level ...

The Innocents
Deborah Kerr, Peter Wyngarde
20th Century Fox, 2005
CREEPY CLASSIC HOLDS UP WELL! 4 1/2 STARS!
There are few films that are this old that can actually deliver any chills anymore. 'The Innocents' is a solid chiller even if it's a tad too long. Creepy atmosphere, haunting visuals and an excellent cast make this a grade a chiller! I caught this on cable so i can ...

The Night of the Iguana
Richard Burton, Ava Gardner
Warner Home Video, 2006
"I defy you! Shannon defies you! Get out your tomahawks!""
I love this movie. I check it out of the public library every chance I get.
I need it. It refreshes me.
First of all, think of all the heavyweight talents involved in this movie.
... John Huston -- arguably the best director of his time.
... Deborah ...

The Prisoner of Zenda (1937 and 1952 Versions)
Stewart Granger, Deborah Kerr
Warner Home Video, 2007
A Classic & Above-Average Copy
The Prisoner of Zenda 2 pack is a real treat for fans of the story & the films. Watching them side by side invites the inevitable comparisons and the 1952 version comes up way short. This is not a criticism of that film; rather it is an affirmation of how great the ...

Quo Vadis (Two-Disc Special Edition)
Robert Taylor, Deborah Kerr
Warner Home Video, 2008
Extra Features for the Nov. 2008 release are announced
This biblical epic has Peter Ustinov giving the definitive performance of the emperor Nero, in spite of the motion picture code. But then, it seems they were always relaxing that motion picture code back in the 40's and 50's as long as it was for a biblical epic of ...

Julius Caesar
Marlon Brando, James Mason
Warner Home Video, 2006
The spirit of the play brought to life
I have been raised on this play and saw many versions. I have had the real story pointed out to me and meaning behind many of the words explained. However it is this adaptation that brought it to life not just intellectually but emotionally.
One of the first things ...

Deborah Kerr, Yul Brynner
20th Century Fox, 2006
The King and I
I have always loved this movie and movies that are similar. I was very pleased that you offered it to be purchased. Deborah Kerr and Yul Brunner cannot be outdone in this. Henry Winkler: we knew him as "The Fonz." Kids today know him as the creator of the delightful ...

The Grass Is Greener
Cary Grant, Deborah Kerr
Republic Pictures, 2001
Sophisticated Comedy
The combination of Grant and Kerr is wonderful on the screen. I loved the mix of British humor and civility. Adding the dash of American brashness in Robert Mitchum, one can enjoy watching the wheels fall off. A very enjoyable movie!

King Solomon's Mines
Deborah Kerr, Stewart Granger

King Solomon's Mines
King Solomon's Mines is truly one the best movies about Africa. The scenery is spectacular. The story seemed to be a never-ending confrontation with wild animals however it was interesting to see the
the variety. The native tribes were also interesting, especially the ...

Barbara Taylor Bradford's A Woman of Substance
Jenny Seagrove, Barry Bostwick
Acorn Media, 2002
Woman of Substance
This rendering of an early work by Barbara Taylor Bradford is set in Yorkshire, lent authenticity by the regional dialect used by Jenny Seagrove and cast. This book was unquestionably Bradford's finest hour, later pieces degenerating into works long on ...
