An exellent, intimate portrait of the actor in his own words

Excellent movie. I've seen it many times and never get tired of it. One of Cary Grant's best movies.

Corsican Brothers

Douglas Fairbanks Jr., Ruth Warrick

Video Treasures, 1989

INCREDIBLE!!
When I first saw the original Corsican Brothers with Douglas Fairbanks, Jr., it was in black and white, grainy and the sound was tinny. I was about five years old at the time. But it made such an impression on me, even though I was very young, I never forgot it. ...

Going Hollywood: War Years

Van Johnson, Gloria DeHaven

Warner Home Video, 1994

Hollywood, the war years and American values
Going Hollywood: The War Years is a very well done although rather brief and glossy retrospective of how Hollywood studios and actors participated in the war efforts. It also tells the story of how Hollywood made pictures that reflected the changing values of America. ...

Woman of Affairs (Silent)

Greta Garbo, John Gilbert

MGM (Warner), 1998

Garbo remains timeless. Silent film, an art form in itself.
Greta Garbo, along with John Gilbert, remain timeless and undated in this adaptation of the "The Green Hat." Perfectly written, acted, and casted. If you love the romance and nostalgia of the 1920s, you'll definitely enjoy "A Woman of Affairs." See what the art of ...

Mary Pickford - A Life on Film

Whoopi Goldberg, Douglas Fairbanks Jr.

Milestone Video, 2002

Excellent Biography
Pickford is a fascinating woman. I could explore all of her many gifts, but recommend you watch this film for that. I am writing because I watched this and another recent documentary concerning Mary Pickford within a one-week period. Both documentaries were ...

Our Modern Maidens

Joan Crawford, Rod La Rocque

Warner Home Video, 1996

Prohibition Era partying as it really looked...
Joan Crawford in her final silent film, before she became the Joan Crawford, elegant and mannered, that we know and love today. Her she plays a free-thinking Jazz Age hottie, a flirty flapper of a college gal whose refusal to take life seriously, or to settle down ...

The Thief of Bagdad

Douglas Fairbanks, Snitz Edwards

Kino International, 1996

Perhaps the best sci-fi of the silent-film era
In 1924 the Thief of Bagdad was produced for the (then) stagering cost of $2.5 million! The range of emotions, the sense of location, the mysteries of Babalon, and the sheer magnitism of Douglas Fairbanks (a carefree pickpocket) alone makes this special. Flying ...

Morning Glory (1933)

Katharine Hepburn, Douglas Fairbanks Jr.

Turner Home Ent, 1998

fine Hepburn vehicle
Katherine Hepburn won her first Oscar for playing the role of Eva Lovelace in Morning Glory; and it's easy to understand why. Hepburn plays Eva Lovelace with style; and her convincing acting impressed me all the way. Morning Glory is an excellent film about the ...

Joy of Living

Irene Dunne, Douglas Fairbanks Jr.

Ghost Story

Fred Astaire, Melvyn Douglas

Universal Studios, 1992

Any real horror fan can appreciate the old school scares of Ghost Story
Ghost Story was released in 1981, adapted from a novel of the same name. Sid has never read the book, admitedly, but we really can't imagine it being better than this great movie. The film stars Fred Astaire, John Houseman and others. Sid remembered seeing this flick ...
