Review on DVD set for August 2008
I keep running into negative reviews for a DVD film or set that hasn't been released yet. I am not sure why Amazon feels in necessay to move reviews over to a DVD that has yet to be released but it's a bit like shooting yourself in the foot. Everyone waiting for a ...

Fox Western Classics (Rawhide / The Gunfighter / Garden of Evil)
Gregory Peck, Tyrone Power
20th Century Fox, 2008
"Fox Western Classics" delivers a real bargain
Fox Western Classics offer three major, but rarely televised, westerns from the early 1950s. A real treat, and the best of the three in my opinion, is the "Garden of Evil". This is a really fun adventure/western that has Gary Cooper offering lines like "let's ride!" ...

The Big Country
Gregory Peck, Jean Simmons
MGM (Video & DVD), 2001
A terrific story and a great family film.
This is a terrific movie and is a fabulous family film. Almost all of the left-wing allegory of the Cold War that William Wyler et al intended in the film is lost to history and will only be noticed by those looking for it. The cast is so fabulous that Charlton ...

The Stalking Moon
Gregory Peck, Eva Marie Saint
Warner Home Video, 2008
Western Thriller
THE STALKING MOON is one of the great "later" Hollywood westerns! Produced
in 1968 it came at a time when westerns were losing something of their appeal. The film had mixed reviews when it was first released but since then it has gained a sort of cult status and is ...

The Keys of the Kingdom
Gregory Peck, Thomas Mitchell
20th Century Fox, 2006
Elegance
What a beautiful film! What a fair film! What a great story! Hollywood is afraid to make movies with this much integrity and truth today. There was an elegance and a reality to this story that today's films do not know. Peck is wonderful and the Chinese characters are ...

Only the Valiant
Gregory Peck, Lon Chaney Jr.
Lions Gate, 2008
Outstanding Western
Only the Valiant is an early example of what might be called the
"impossible mission" movie subgenre. Flicks of this type have plots in which a certain number of men, ususally hard cases, are picked for a do or die mission in which there is a high degree of failure. ...

The Scarlet and the Black
Gregory Peck, Christopher Plummer
Lions Gate, 2003
Very well made movie...worth watching for all
This is a great story...especially since it is a true story. Gregory Peck does a great job and is fascinating to watch. But the real draw is the true to life story.

Yellow Sky
Gregory Peck, Anne Baxter
20th Century Fox, 2006
Best Western Ever
Gritty, dirty and downright manly. The overgrown adolescents of today need to study this film and learn how to act like a man. No tattoos, ear-rings or other piercings to smother the Y gene. Little music is used; some of the 40s and 50s flicks were embellished with ...

The Boys From Brazil
Gregory Peck, Laurence Olivier
Lions Gate, 1999
Nature or nurture?
This movie has probably ended up playing the role of a "predictor" of events. When it was made, probably one could not have imagined that cloning or genetic sequencing would advance so rapidly. The evil Dr. Josef Mengele gathers all his Nazi cronies with a view to ...

Captain Horatio Hornblower
Gregory Peck, Virginia Mayo
Warner Bros. Pictures, 2007
Captain Horation Hornblower - a great classic movie.
I think this movie is one of the better swashbuckler - old sailing ship movies out there.
I have read it is losely based on the life of the great British Admiral Nelson.
The movie takes place during the time period when England, France and Spain were all trying ...
