Why not on DVD?
I was in grammar school when this movie was released, and after having seen it, I can remember classmates discussing their favorite part of the film. Yes, in retrospect in was a recuiting film, but you have to look at the times. We were being trained into "duck and ...

Good Korean War Film
Joseph H. Lewis effectively directed this war film about the United States Marine Corps' withdrawal from the Changjin Reservoir. The Chinese entered the conflict on the side of the North Koreans in massive hoards but the Marines' walk-don't-run attitude cost the ...

DORIS DAY IS A FINE DRAMATIC ACTRESS!
During her career, Doris Day rarely ventured out of her musical comedy range. Films like "Julie", "The Man Who Knew Too Much", "Storm Warning", "Young Man with a Horn" and "Midnight Lace" are the exception. Doris Day could do anything but she was exceptionally ...

The Heart is a 'Lonely' Hunter
Nicholas Ray will be cemented in pop culture history, anonymously, as "the guy who directed REBEL WITHOUT A CAUSE." This is a travesty on two levels: One, REBEL isn't even Ray's best movie (it's only his most famous), and two, because many think that the aching heart ...

"Coward, Take My Coward Hand"
Watched this one having read Donald Bogle's book and curious about James Edwards, MGM's first black leading man in the 1940s. Bogle paints Edwards as a dangerous rebel, skilled in New York acting techniques and like other newcomers to the screen, Brando and Clift, ...

Men of the Fighting Lady

MGM (Warner), 1998
An excellent look at the Air War in Korea
Perhaps the most under-rated war film ever made, "Men of the Fighting Lady" is a fine piece of work. Like James Michener's "Bridges at Toko-Ri" this story centers on Naval Aviation during the Korean War. Taken from stories originally published in "The Saturday ...

Finger Man
Frank Lovejoy,
Forrest Tucker
Republic Pictures, 1998
Entertaining, but probably not worth getting the Finger.
This is a nifty little Republic noir which benefits from good performances by a lot of familiar character actors. But unfortunately they are not the only thing familiar about this film. The basic plot is a fairly hoary one, the likes of which you've seen dozens if not ...

This is the restored & digitally mastered VHS edition of Ida Lupino's film-noir classic The Hitch-Hiker (ISBN 1557394873), and the tape includes a special feature showing the restoration, comparing the sharp contrast the director originally intended to the faded prints ...
Try & Get Me
Frank Lovejoy,
Kathleen Ryan
Republic Pictures, 1995
"I want to die. It's no use to live when you're no good."
1950's "Try and Get Me!" was originally released as "The Sound of Fury" but was renamed after a disappointing initial release. It was directed by Cy Endfield, who also directed "The Underworld Story" and "The Limping Man". Although adapted from Jo Pagano's novel "The ...

Good movie
The previous reviewer mistook this movie for another one with Richard Burton. This movie is about American soldiers in the Normandy campaign. I confess that it was a long time ago when I saw it, but I thought it was a good movie.
