Edward G. Robinson

Edward G. Robinson, Ruth Warrick

Sony Pictures, 1997

Outstanding Period Piece
I'll never get tired of watching this. WWII, the home front, quitting his job at the bank, opening up a fix-it shop, disapproval from the missus, induction, training, furlough, hooking up with some babes, shipping out to combat, coming home a hero, reconciliation with ...

Tight Spot

Ginger Rogers, Edward G. Robinson

Sony Pictures, 1998

B movie with academy award acting.
"Tight Spot" was a gem. Unexpected, to me, after the early part of the movie seemed to have an inevitable ending. It didn't turn out that way. Rogers was perfect for the plot, which was perfect for Rogers. Her actual age, 45, was perfect for the age of a society ...

Our Vines Have Tender Grapes

Edward G. Robinson, Margaret O'Brien

MGM (Warner), 1998

Hard To Imagine A Nicer Film
It's true - this is about as nice as it ever got with a movie. There are no villains, no violence (except when animals had to be destroyed in a fire...and that wasn't pictured), and just a nice story of a nice Norwegian family living in rural Wisconsin. The story ...

Soylent Green

Charlton Heston, Leigh Taylor-Young

MGM (Warner), 1999

Soylent Green DvD
I liked this movie when I saw it many years ago. When I found it out again to buy I just had to have it. I never for got the movie, once you see it , it will stay with you for a long time. Good movie if you like to think about future possibilities.

The Ten Commandments

Judith Anderson, Anne Baxter

Paramount, 1992

Fabulous
This movie is so amazing. I watched it with my grandparents when it was on VHS, and now that it is on digitally remastered DVD, the color and clarity of it is amazing. Such a great movie, one to definitely share with the kids.

All My Sons (B&W)

Edward G. Robinson, Burt Lancaster

Universal Studios, 1998

Powerful drama of family destroyed by immoral businessman.
This is probably the most powerful and gripping drama I have ever seen. Arthur Miller's "Death of a Salesman" invariably tops the critics'list of his plays, but I feel "All My Sons" is even greater. Edward G.Robinson is just marvelous as the businessman/father who OK's ...

Double Indemnity

Fred MacMurray, Barbara Stanwyck

MCA/Universal Home Video, 1944

"You're not smarter, Walter. You're just a little taller."
Double Indemnity is a stylish piece of film noir with all of the typical ingredients. We have the femme fatal (Barbara Stanwyck), the imperfect protagonist (Fred MacMurray), dark settings, shady doings. Walter Neff(MacMurray) is an insurance salesman. He goes to the ...

Key Largo

Humphrey Bogart, Edward G. Robinson

MGM (Video & DVD), 1997

Edward G. Robinson Overpowers
"Key Largo" was made in 1948, during the height of the studio system, and when Warner Bros. ruled the roost. Humphrey Bogrart, Lauren Bacall, Edward G. Robinson, Lionel Barrymore, Claire Trevor, Thomas Gomez; they don't make casts like *that* anymore. Although Bogart ...

Some Like It Hot (1959)

Marilyn Monroe, Tony Curtis

MGM (Video & DVD), 1998

CLASSIC FILM WITH A NICE NEW DVD UPGRADE!
I bought the new collector's edition of 'Some Like It Hot' a few months ago and I am just getting around to watching it. The film is a classic with Lemmon, Curtis and Monroe in top form with help from a great cast of character actors. This Billy Wilder film has held up ...

Song of Norway

Toralv Maurstad, Florence Henderson

Starz / Anchor Bay, 1998

Oh Where Oh Where Is This Bad Movie Treasure????
Andrew and Virginia Stone (Julie, Cry Terror) are no ordinary movie realists. In 1960, when they decided to make a movie about the sinking of an ocean liner, (The Last Voyage), they hired the aged Ile de France, hauled her out into the Pacific Ocean, and then ...

Tales of Manhattan

Charles Boyer, Rita Hayworth

20th Century Fox, 1996

That mythical place where everyone gets what he/she deserves
Other reviewers have given plenty of information regarding the general shape of this film--stars, cast, vignettes. A wonderful collaboration of ten different writers who together with a cast of stars, character actors, the Hall Johnson Choir (one of the gems of the ...
