Wellman's "The Public Enemy" launched the film career of a pugnacious Irish-American from Manhattan's Hell's Kitchen who started out as a dancer, only to become the toughest tough guy of them all: Jimmy Cagney, never cockier than he is here. Since organized crime was a ...

Terrific cast.
Intriguing from the start, this adventure begins at the end of the story, with a foreign legion troop arriving to reinforce a fort in the desert, to find it defended by dead men. How it got that way unfolds in a flashback story of the three adopted Geste Brothers ...

Wonderful Movie -
I cannot fathom why this lovely film has not been released on DVD as of yet. Perhaps if enough of us mention it in a review, it will happen!! Ann Blyth is such a poop in Mildred Pierce- yet such a lovely gentle young woman in this film, it just confirms how underated ...

How is this not on DVD?
This version of the musical is my favorite by far and the most true to the stage version. I don't understand how it is not on DVD yet when it is on the "AFI's 25 Best Musicals of All Time" list. Yes, the 1936 version NOT the 1951 version is on the list. Irene Dunne is ...

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 ...

"I've Decided to Keep You Another Year"
Marital bliss turns into amusing chaos as the only way William Powell can keep his wife Myrna Loy from divorcing him is to have himself declared insane, in Jack Conway's, "Love Crazy." While not quite as funny as the premise sounds, there are plenty of smiles and ...

Complete Print Exists
Articles refer to the scene where Fay Wray's character is whipped while she laughs and claim that it was edited because of the newly enforced Production Code in July 1934. This is not accurate. In the 1960s, on either New York channel WNEW 5 or WCBS 2, that scene was ...

A Tragically "Unknown" Gem
Now that Warner Brothers has recently given us "Fort Apache" and "Ballad of Cable Hogue" on dvd, we have only about 8 "necessary" westerns that beg to be released in the dvd format. These are "The Great Northfield Minnesota Raid", "The Gunfighter", "There Was a Crooked ...

Powerful performance of a man who sells out a friend
Victor McLaglen, one-time Heavyweight Champion of Great Britain, won an Oscar for his portrayal of Gypo Nolan, a drunken lug of an Irishman during the Dublin uprisings in 1922, who rats out his best friend for a 20-pound reward. McLaglen is perfect in this role; ...

the best of its kind
THE SEA HAWK showcases my favorite Warners director (Curtiz), swashbuckler (Flynn) and composer (Erich Wolfgang Korngold). I see that more than a few Amazon reviewers complain of the casting of Brenda Marshall as the female lead and inevitable Flynn love interest ...

Pure Gilbert & Sullivan ..... pure delight!
I have been a lover of the light operas of Gilbert & Sullivan for many years, and this filmed stage production of the best of those light operas is as close as one could come to being there and yet not be there! This production stars the D'Oyly Carte Light Opera ...

Great Dream Sequence & A Sly Seduction Scene
One of the earliest Noir classics the film features a justly famous and totally spellbinding dream sequence but also has one of the drollest and funniest failed-seduction scenes in movie history(McGuire only magages to get Tallichet to remove her socks). It misses ...
