Barbara Stanwyck

Fred MacMurray, Barbara Stanwyck

MCA/Universal Home Video, 1944

Back when substance was more important than special effects...
So I've decided that the film noir has just been disrespected by the so called `noirs' of today, especially when you compare them to the greats of yesteryear. Having recently watched (and balked) films like `Devil in a Blue Dress' and `The Usual Suspects', supposed ...

Christmas in Connecticut

Barbara Stanwyck, Dennis Morgan

MGM (Video & DVD), 1993

A classic movie you can watch again and again

Blowing Wild

Gary Cooper, Barbara Stanwyck

Republic Pictures, 1994

excellent 50's adventure film noir
i must respectfully disagree with mr. maltin on this one. what he considers"plodding" i would describe as dark drama. barbara stanwyck was at her most evil, gary cooper at his most distressed since"high noon", anthony quinn did well in a career enhancing role for ...

Remember the Night

Barbara Stanwyck, Fred MacMurray

Universal Studios, 1995

Another Forgotten Christmas Classic - one of the best.
Remember The Night is one of the best of those forgotten Christmas classics that really should be on DVD. (Others are Good Sam and Mr. Soft Touch.) Barbara Stanwyck (Ball of Fire) plays a shoplifter picked up a few days before Christmas, and Fred MacMurray (My Three ...

Baby Face (1933)

Barbara Stanwyck, George Brent

MGM (Warner), 1998

One of the Greatest a most daring Pre-Codes
If you are fond of Pre-Code movies you're gonna LOVE this movie, in which Barbara Stanwyck's character, "works" her way up, the "money-ladder" (rather than the social one, 'cos she's basically a "kept woman"), ruthlessly and shamelessly, using her sexual attraction on ...

Union Pacific

Barbara Stanwyck, Joel McCrea

Universal Studios, 1995

An epic huge-scale western
I hate the way people look at a black and white classic film and automatically think that the movie has to be bad. People only see the poor special effects and the absense of color but never judge a book by it's cover. " Union Pacific " is has a great western backed by ...

Strange Love of Martha Ivers

Barbara Stanwyck; Van Heflin; Kirk Douglas; Lizabeth Scott

Timeless Multimedia, 1991

Fabulous Fluff and We Love It
This is so much fun to watch. Who cares if it isn't Wuthering Heights. Fab 40's stars. Film Noir. Stars who will never be matched. Ever.

Variety Girl

Gary Cooper, Bing Crosby

Universal Studios, 1999

Novel conglomeration of talent and entertainment.
Variety Girl is one of those movies with a plot that's little more than an excuse to showcase a bunch of stars, mostly in small cameo roles. The story is based on the premise that the charitable Variety Club started when some Hollywood producers adopted a baby ...

The Miracle Woman (Restored)

Barbara Stanwyck, David Manners

Sony Pictures, 1997

EARLY STANWYCK REVEALS WHY SHE WAS THE BEST!
From the beginning to the end this is Stanwyck's film all the way! Very young (24 to be exact) she is incredible in every scene. Those not familiar with early Stanwyck should view this remarkable film to see her working her craft flawlessly. Why she wasn't nominated ...

Executive Suite (1954)

William Holden, June Allyson

MGM (Warner), 1998

Struggle for the soul of a corporation
This is a wonderful "business" film, one of the few that gives a reasonable treatment to the issues facing business today, not just fifty-five years ago. With a stellar cast, a world-class producer, and zero special effects, "Suite" delivers a powerful argument for the ...

Titanic (1953)

Clifton Webb, Barbara Stanwyck

20th Century Fox, 1995

1953
This version is wonderful in all aspects! Sure, there are mistakes in the sinking and such, but the two leads are spectacular! I got so involved in their story that nearly forgot the inevitable. Barbara Stanwyk is so fantastic. She seems to be the definition of ...

Ball of Fire

Gary Cooper, Barbara Stanwyck

MGM (Video & DVD), 2000

Oldie but gorgeous
A Billy Wilder / Charles Brackett script and Howard Hawks direction, this wonderful take on Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs is dated by the slang but not the sentiments. Fast paced, great lines and truly endearing characters played by a gallery of great Hollywood ...

Two Mrs Carrolls

Barry Bernard, Humphrey Bogart

MGM (Warner), 1998

UNDERRATED FORTIES FILM NOIR GEM!!
While Bogart is laughable in some scenes, this is Stanwyck's picture all the way and SHE ALONE is the reason to watch. Stanwyck can make anything work and this film is a classic underrated, moody forties film piece. It is great fun to watch with thunder, lightning, ...
