Marilyn Monroe, Yves Montand

20th Century Fox, 2002

Monroe's best acting job along with "Bus Stop."
The fantastic musical numbers alone make this movie worth watching at least a hundred times and Monroe's being in them is 90% of the reason why. Frankie Vaughn is great in all his musical numbers with Marilyn and Montand did an amazing job in his first English role, ...

36 Hours

James Garner, Eva Marie Saint

Warner Home Video, 2007

Great plot, acting, and suspense
A wonderful film, about a kidnapped Allie Officer who is originally convinced that WWII is over through a mamoth falsified army hospital and German ingenuity. After releasing the information of D Day's actual location, he realizes he's been duped and needs to ...

Young Frankenstein (Special Edition)

Anne Beesley, Oscar Beregi Jr.

20th Century Fox, 1998

Young Frankenstein
This is one of Mel Brook's best. A great cast and is a staple in our household for Halloween. It can be watched many times and still make you laugh.

World War II Collection, Vol. 2 - Heroes Fight for Freedom (36 Hours / Air Force / Command Decision / Hell to ...

James Garner, Eva Marie Saint

Warner Home Video, 2007

One Hell of a collection...
The older ones were far better, than the more recent ones. I could end my review here, but it would be unfair, considering the effort made to put this collection together. So let's start at the beginning: 1. "Air Force" (1943) - B&W - 124 min. starring John ...

The Incredible Mr. Limpet

Don Knotts, Carole Cook

Warner Home Video, 2002

Brought me back to my youth
Very entertaining. Brought me back to my younger days. This is a great movie for kids and adults. Don Knotts is a classic who all will enjoy.

Morituri

Marlon Brando, Yul Brynner

20th Century Fox, 2004

A strange movie but very good film-noir
Here we have a non-typical WW II film where a man is recruited by the British authorities to sabotage a German submarine. Marlon Brando shines in this unique role. On the sub, Jewish shipwrecked (by the sub) captives are brought on board, ironically complicating ...

The Untouchables - Season 1, Vol. 1

Robert Stack, Walter Winchell

Paramount, 2007

Why not an "any region" DVD release
5 stars because it was the most scintillating show of its time, and still stands watching today -- for its outstanding star, narration and great guest stars. If only I could see it. Sadly because it is released as Region 1, the DVD isn't playable here in England. How ...

The Untouchables - Season Two, Vol. 1

Robert Stack, Ricardo Montalban

Paramount, 2008

Classic old-school TV
Season 2, volume 1 of the original "Untouchables" is now out. Historically, this series is about as accurate as "The Flintstones," but it's riveting crime melodrama nonetheless. (The original series is about 500 times better than the mediocre big-screen Brian De Palma ...

Young Frankenstein (Special Edition)

Let's Make Love
Oscar Beregi, Joe Besser

20th Century Fox, 2002

Known as one of the world's richest, most powerful and eligible bachelors, Jean Marc Clement (Yves Montand) is not amused when he learns that an off-Broadway show plans on parodying his fickle ways. He'll do anything to stop the show - until he meets Amanda (Marilyn Monroe), the production's real show stopper! In a classic case of "if you can't ...

Panic in the City

Howard Duff, Linda Cristal

Direct Source Label, 2000

I'll take it, Gregory J...
I understand Eileen Janssen plays a small part in it and I'd like to see how she developed as an actress. I'm only familiar with her as a promising child actress in an unfortunately short-lived kid series by Hal Roach, and some '50s Westerns. I can't really rate ...
