Cagney Makes This One Of The Best Classic Era Crime Movies Ever
Once again, Jimmy Cagney struts his stuff.....and makes a big name for himself in the very early part of his acting career. He clearly demonstrates that he is a man who take over any scene and dominate it, and the film. The story is a fast-mover and the movie is ...

Desk Set

Spencer Tracy, Katharine Hepburn

20th Century Fox, 2004

A great romantic comedy with poor commentary track
When I list my favorite film for each year, this is always on my list for 1957. I know I'm supposed to say "Twelve Angry Men" or "Bridge over the River Kwai", but I just find this film to be better. Hepburn and Tracy star in a very odd romantic comedy in which the ...

Here Come the Brides - The Complete First Season

Joan Blondell, Robert Brown

Sony Pictures, 2006

Absolutely adored this show!
I purchased this for my husband last year after he mentioned he used to watch it when he was young. I think I watched the whole series before he got the chance. I absolutely loved the story line and the characters. Too bad television has had to change so much.

Love and sex, pre-Code style
There were a few years in movie making when sound was first introduced but the Production Codes had not yet been in force. These codes would severely limit the ability of movies to depict the real world: sex, violence and corruption were toned down - often to the ...

Not Quite a Sequel

Tony Randall, Jayne Mansfield

20th Century Fox, 2006

Jayne Mansfield--an icon
The movies Jayne Mansfield made in Hollywood are not exceptional save for one: "The Girl Can't Help It". This movie , in my opinion, made her career because of the wonderful music in it----the story wasn't too bad---Tom Ewell is a so-so guy (and a VERY under-rated ...
