Great Mcginty
Brian Donlevy, Muriel Angelus
Universal Studios, 1992
Sturges at the beginning of his great career as writer/director
Preston Sturges's first film as writer AND director (he sold the script to the studio for $10 for the privilege to direct it), and although the script won the Academy Award, it's a tribute to just how great Sturges's movies are that this one is not up to the wackiness ...

1946 "Virginian"
this is a remake in technicolor of the 1930 black and white classic, with Joel McCrea playing the Gary Cooper hero role and Brian Donlevy playing the evil Trampas as earlier portrayed by Walter Huston. Sonny Tufts is a little goofier but still good as the doomed ...

Jessie James
Tyrone Power, Henry Fonda
20th Century Fox, 1999
jesse james
I had seen this movie back in 1939 and have always considered it a
good movie for Tyrone Power. It is just a good western and feel it
took me back to when the movies were interesting and clean. Jesse James
just holds your interest.

Hostile Guns
George Montgomery, Yvonne De Carlo
Paramount, 1995
A Tab Hunter Western
A grade "B" western that deserves a "D" grade. It showcased a Tab Hunter as a young cowboy with a cocky attitude, but Tab was 35 by the time this western was made and in some cases he looked it. However there was excellent character interplay between Hunter and George ...

One of the earliest attempts to show the politics and terrible strain on a leader's conscience as America debates the effectiveness of daylight bombing. Great dialogue, made more intense by Clark Gable, Walter Pidgeon, and Brian Donleavy. Not much in the way of plane ...

Quatermass Xperiment
Brian Donlevy, Jack Warner
MGM (Video & DVD), 2000
A good movie to see
Only true fans of science fiction will appreciate the creeping unknown
a.k.a.The Quatermass Xperiment. I happen to be one of them. I remember
watching this fim at the age of eight and it scared me silly. Later on
I understood better and it didn't bother me.

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 ...

Errand Boy Gets the Job Done
I had never seen this particular Jerry Lewis film until it recently came to DVD and wasn't sure what to expect. What I saw was nearly 90 minutes of the most biting satire I have ever seen propogated against Hollywood and I love it! It is incredible to think that this ...

In Old Chicago
Tyrone Power, Alice Faye
20th Century Fox, 1994
Now That's Entertainment!
They really do not make movies like this wonderful classic anymore. Fine lead performances from handsome Tyrone Power, beautiful Alice Faye and debonair Don Ameche. Hearing the gorgeous Ms. Faye sing my state song "Carry Me Back to Old Virginny" is well worth the price ...
