Long Hot Summer
Don Johnson
,
Jason Robards
Fox Home Entertainment, 1988
Accurate Title
The title of this movie exemplifies the movie's passion and sexiness, especially Don Johnson's topless scenes! (This is must for Don Johnson fans!!) Don gives this movie what was missing in the original when Paul Newman played the same role. (Don't get me wrong, Paul ...
The Killers
Burt Lancaster
, Ava Gardner
Universal Studios, 1998
Timeless film-noir classic
Robert Siodmak's able direction of Ernest Hemingway's short story "The Killers" resulted in an outstanding vintage 1940's crime drama. With a superb cast and a convoluted intriguing plot with unexpected twists, this flick was a top shelf offering. The story begins ...
Show Boat
Kathryn Grayson
, Ava Gardner
MGM (Video & DVD), 1998
Showboat fan
Showboat is a classic. Howard Keel and Kathryn Grayson are at the top of their form. The Champions dance better than any other dance duo of their time. The opening scenes with the happy slaves in the cotton fields and the garish colors of the entertainers ...

Best Film And Video, 1991
Epic Picture on Forgotten Part of History!
I felt this was an is a great film portraying the beginning of the new century...the beginnings of anti-colonialism are rearing up and the Europeans and the U.S. realize that diplomacy must be used first-then war! An all-star cast tells the tale of the siege by the ...
Seven Days in May
Burt Lancaster
,
Kirk Douglas
Warner Home Video, 1995
Still works today
Some of the best actors in Hollywood are in this film, but the best performance, as far as I am concerned is by Burt Lancaster. When I read this book and saw the movie as a teenager, it scared me to death to think how easy it would have been to topple our government. ...
Bhowani Junction
Ava Gardner,
Stewart Granger
MGM (Warner), 1994
A sign of the times
While this movie may not be historically accurate, it stands out for two reasons. The acting of Ava Gardner as she portrays a half Indian, half Welsh young woman during one of the most turbulent times in the history of the Indian sub-continent. She was ably supported ...
Hucksters
Clark Gable
,
Deborah Kerr
MGM (Warner), 1998
Absorbing drama
"The Hucksters" is a refreshingly adult drama with themes that resonate even today. Clark Gable plays an advertising agent (a "huckster") who is basically a decent man, but who finds himself increasingly compromising his principles in order to satisfy a despotic soap ...
Mayerling (1968)
Omar Sharif
,
Catherine Deneuve
MGM (Warner), 1998
Not Perfect, But Vastly Entertaining
I have been told that the French predecessor of this film is better, but I don't see how. The compelling true story of the downfall of the Hapsburg family is recounted here with an emphasis on the personal tragedy of Prince Rudolph. Here is a man trapped in a ...
On the Beach
Gregory Peck
, Ava Gardner
MGM (Video & DVD), 1996
A Place in Time When People Seemed to Care More
I remember my parents taking me to this film--at a drive-in, no less. This was the era of "The Blob" and other teen-crazie epics. ON THE BEACH is a serious, thought-provoking film--and it found a deep--if silent--response not only in mature people, but with teens as ...
Earthquake
Charlton Heston
, Ava Gardner
Universal Studios, 1992
Superb video quality.
Despite what others have said about this DVD, the excellent quality of the video itself makes it a "5". We do have to remember that this is an old movie, but I feel that I've just seen it as it originally was in theaters. I used a 1080p hi-def TV and a blu-ray 1080p ...
Mogambo
Clark Gable
, Ava Gardner
MGM (Warner), 1994
Gable Rules as Ford Looks On
Great to have MOGAMBO on DVD. It looks good. Not your usual John Ford film from my view. Clark Gable is the man and really he seems to have more effect on the look of this film. Good loves story flows tailored for Gable no doubt. Good one in all.
One Touch of Venus
Robert Walker
, Ava Gardner
Republic Pictures, 1998
Wonderful Comedy!
A delightful romantic fantasy made even more so by Eve Arden as the wise-cracking secretary. This was, seemingly, the "inspiration" for the so-so 1987 movie, MANNEQUIN. Stick with the original! You won't be disappointed.
Lone Star (1951)
Clark Gable
, Ava Gardner
MGM (Warner), 1998
How can a movie with Ava Gardner not be a hit.
Gable is hired to bring Texas into the union. Crawford plays villian. Gardner looks great and has to choose between two men. Good 'horray for texas' movie.
