Jack Oakie

Alice Faye, John Payne

20th Century Fox, 1994

The video was a hit!
I purchased Hello Frisco Hello for my mother. She is just learning about the internet so I showed her how easy it is to purchase items on Amazon.

Tin Pan Alley

Alice Faye, Betty Grable

Fox Home Entertainment, 1994

One of Faye's best performances
Saw the movie a long time ago. "America I Love You." What a great song.

Tomahawk
Van Heflin, Yvonne De Carlo

Universal Studios, 1998

Song of the Islands

Betty Grable, Victor Mature

20th Century Fox, 1998

Great example of a great American musical!
When I watch a musical I want to be entertained and this movie is very entertaining. When you combine the talents of Betty Grable with the escapism of a South Seas set you have a formula of great cinema. Be it a little campy it's campiest at its best. Also a measure ...

That Girl from Paris

Lily Pons, Jack Oakie

Turner Home Entertainment, 1990

FUNNY VINTAGE COMEDY.
French operatic star Lily Pons, RKO's answer to Columbia's Grace Moore, is appropriately cast as a French opera star in this joyful musical farce... While in the U.S., a jealous suitor's failure to secure her a passport causes her to hide from immigration officials. ...

Murder at the Vanities

Lona Andre, Carl Brisson

Universal Studios, 1998

So awful that it's a delight (and it's a historical document, too)
. In the 1920s, the biggest name on Broadway was Flo Ziegfeld, whose staple (but by no means his only claim to fame) was an annual review called the "Ziegfeld Follies." The "Follies" offered the biggest names in variety and acres of scantily-clad, beautiful girls. ...

Million Dollar Legs (1932)

Jack Oakie, W.C. Fields

Universal Studios, 1998

Reel good
I hadn't seen "Million Dollar Legs" since 1936, so I guess the title should have been changed to "Billion Dollar Legs," thanks to that boy we have in the White House now, so determined to cut us seniors social security after we fought in the war. Commonly of thought of ...

Iceland

Sonja Henie, John Payne

20th Century Fox, 1994

I love this movie!
This movie is awesome! The special effects are the best I have ever seen. I would recommend this movie for any Star Trek fan out there. Live long and Prosper.

Lover Come Back

Rock Hudson, Doris Day

Universal Studios, 2001

Funny Movie
Rock and Doris are a great hit in this movie as in all their movies they appear in together.

Wintertime

Sonja Henie, Jack Oakie

20th Century Fox, 1998

Cesar Romero - gotta love him!
I must admit, I'm not that much of a Sonja Henie fan but I always like the MEN in her movies. She's no kind of actress but she is often surrounded by a fine supporting cast which make her films worthwhile. In this case, it's Cesar Romero as a night club performer who, ...

Young People (Col)

Shirley Temple, Jack Oakie

20th Century Fox, 1995

This picture touches the hear of all who see it.
Shirley's ability to cry on quiew always facinated me. I think it's a great picture. Great Dance routine. I now own 27 of her movies & understand she made about 56. I'd like to get them all.

Young People (1940)

Shirley Temple, Jack Oakie

20th Century Fox, 2003

This picture touches the hear of all who see it.
Shirley's ability to cry on quiew always facinated me. I think it's a great picture. Great Dance routine. I now own 27 of her movies & understand she made about 56. I'd like to get them all.

The Eagle and The Hawk

Fredric March, Cary Grant

Universal Studios, 1997

March + Grant = Excellent action drama
Crackerjack war/anti-war yarn starring Frederic March and Cary Grant as two flying aces in WW I who don't like each other, with events leading to a surprise turn-around for one of them. Despite their antipathy for each other, when they fly together they actually make a ...

Jazz Cocktails: Paramount Musical Shorts, Vol. 2

Mack Gordon, Jack Oakie

Kino Video, 1998

Best of the Four Volume Set
If you're not ready to roll out the bucks for the complete fourvolume set of HOLLYWOOD RHYTHM, this is the one to buy first. The mainreason is for the first short in this volume -- "Symphony inBlack." This marvelous short features Duke Ellington at the pianocomposing a ...

Toast of New York

Edward Arnold, Cary Grant

Turner Home Entertainment, 1991

Good But Not Great!
The Toast of New York is an interesting and kind of bizarre movie that I would say is good but not great and is not Cary's best. It is one of Cary Grant's first movies though he is not the main star of the movie, it is actually Edward Arnold's character that the movie ...
