Midnight (Universal Cinema Classics)

Claudette Colbert
Universal Studios, 2008
"Don't forget...every Cinderella has her midnight." And Midnight is one of the best of the screwball comedies
If "Midnight" as a title seems puzzling, think Cinderella. Except this time our Cinderella is a gold digger with a self-defeating habit of falling for poor taxi drivers. She's also one of the foxiest, funniest and sexiest young ladies in Paris. No staying at home to ...
As Young As You Feel

Thelma Ritter
20th Century Fox, 2004
Age-ism Revealed
The central theme of this movie (enforced retirement or, more widely, the perennial injustice of age-ism) is one we need, more than ever, to consider. Today one is often "thrown on the scrap heap" long before one's 65th birthday. Many an experienced and/or highly ...

A Christmas Delight
This classic story will always appeal to the heart and soul. In its charming and gentle way, it reveals the true road to happiness. It values are gently interwoven into the fabric of the film. Being a black and white buff, I feel it allows you to be drawn in to the ...

"SHERRY' MIXED WITH VINEGAR
I've been waiting years to write this review. I'm sick and tired of watching "Miracle on 34th Street" and "It's a Wonderful Life' during the Christmas holidays and hardly ever seeing this outrageously funny holiday classic even listed or mentioned. Just check out the ...

Great collection!
I LOVEloveLOVE this set of movies! I'm a huge Cary Grant fan. 2 of my CG faves are in this set. For the price, you really cannot go wrong. In Mr Blandings, it's so much fun to see CG play a perpetually frustrated husband and father going through a crazy house ...

Night and Day is delightful!
It's clear from the beginning of this film that the star of Night and Day is the music of the man himself...Cole Porter. The song and dance sequences are beautifully done (the tap dancing number in particular was fantastic) and I even took pleasure in the story. Of ...

Charming British film!
This is one of my favorite movies! I just happened to copy it on video from public TV years ago and have been looking for it ever since as my tape is wearing out. Charming, entertaining, feel-good, and well acted, it's the story of Molly (Gracie Fields), an ...
