Charles Boyer, Henri Vidal

Love Bardot!

Loved this movie. Bardot is a timeless beauty! Story is funny, and Charles Boyer is a great addition. The copy I had was not dubbed but subtitled. Color and quality was great. Highly Recommend!!

Song of Love (1947) [VHS]
Katharine Hepburn, Paul Henreid
MGM (Warner), 1998
Great Portrait of a Musical Era
+ Genius at work!
+ Good-- even for the picky
I must differ with a previous reviewer --- "Even a subdued Hepburn seems to be more than a match for the men in this movie, although as portrayed in the film Schumann and Brahms are a pretty clueless pair." I don't quite get that statement. "More than a match"? Schumann and Brahms are clueless ...

Hollywood Canteen [VHS]
Bette Davis, John Garfield
MGM (Warner), 1998
HOLLYWOOD CANTEEN
+ Joan's first movie for Warners
+ A PIECE OF AMERICANA
Having been fortunate to have been SERVED at "THE" canteen I have found this to be a true story of the canteen. True Robert Hutton's romance with Joan Leslie was not a fact, however, it gave us guys a sense of enjoying our many fantasies. This film was very entertaining, in my eyes, and I'm certain ...

Lili [VHS]
Leslie Caron, Mel Ferrer
MGM (Warner), 1994
Exquisite & touching
+ fast shipping for vintage movie
+ leslie and mel were fantastic
I'm happily adding my 5 stars to those of many previous reviewers here. This is a lovely gem -- and while it's a terrific family film in the best sense of the phrase, as enjoyable to small children as to adults, it also negotiates some darker & troubling emotional territory with subtle skill. The ...

Two for the Seesaw [VHS]
Robert Mitchum, Shirley MacLaine
MGM (Video & DVD), 1992
Contains film greatness
+ Right cast in the Wrong script
+ For those who like film noir
Like Helen Morgan's "Applause", the film version of "Two For the Seesaw" gives its viewers a seldom seen look at the real theatre world of New York City in the 20th Century. This is a gritty, realistic love story on the cold, hard streets of New York that somehow is still able to show the real ...

Wonder Bar [VHS]
Al Jolson, Kay Francis
MGM (Warner), 1998
Vulgar fun
+ A pre-code classic that will never be on DVD
+ All Star Cast
I'm not surprised how this movie really turns people off. That's why I love it. I have been this movie's biggest fan for years (I even bought the lovely original poster at auction).
The movie--one of the last Warner Bros pre-Code gems (mid-1934 marked the turning point)--runs over the course ...
