John Hodiak

Spencer Tracy, James Stewart

MGM/UA Home Video, 1994

Excellent leading cast
Although one could not exactly call this film memorable, it is certainly worth watching if you are a fan of either Spencer Tracy or James Stewart. The two mammoth Hollywood ledgends make this film entertaining despite the script's forgettable status.

Miniver Story

Greer Garson, Walter Pidgeon

MGM (Warner), 1998

better than the first one, to me
now, i've always heard mrs miniver was this and that; but i saw them both and really this one is the masterpiece. It will make you smile, it will make you cry; it's absolutely a movie you should buy without hesitating because you'll watch it again and again- i ...

Battleground (1949)

Van Johnson, John Hodiak

MGM (Video & DVD), 1992

a hero in the making
This is a warm, touching and easy to believe movie. It differs from present movies in at least three different ways. First, Van Johnson played a soldier who got cold feet in the heat of a fierce battle and his courage emerged partly by coincidence. His comrades ...

The Harvey Girls

Oldies but goodies!!
Absolutely loved it !! I love any movie with Judy Garland in it!

Lifeboat (The Hitchcock Collection)

Tallulah Bankhead, William Bendix

20th Century Fox, 1997

"Man Overboard!"
Walter Slezack and Talluluh Bankhead steal the show in this classic Hitchcock movie. "People in lifeboats tend to 'act up,'" as we have seen in the original Titanic with Clifton Webb and Barbara Stanwyck and more notably in this wonderful movie. Hitchcock's genius ...

Across the Wide Missouri

Clark Gable, Ricardo Montalban

MGM/UA Home Video, 1998

Outstanding Frontier Adventure film
Clark Gable is excellent as a mountain man who leads a company of mountain men and trappers into the Blackfoot Indian Nation to trap beaver. It has humor, drama, action, and suspense. The "Run For Your Life" scene where Gable is given a choice by the Indians to either ...

I Dood It

Red Skelton, Eleanor Powell

MGM (Video & DVD), 1995

ELEANOR POWELL DANCES !!!!!!
I sure wish I could see this movie on my big screen tv !!! I dont have VHS and wouldnt watch it if I did! This and other movies from MGM were released 12 to 14 years ago and need to be re=mastered on DVD NOW !!!

Homecoming (1948)

Clark Gable, Lana Turner

MGM (Warner), 1998

One of the best war movies of all time!
This classic WW2 tearjerker is not only a great war movie but is also one of the greatest screen romances of all time. Clark Gable ("Useless") and Lana Turner ("Snapshot") seem so natural together and as always make a wonderful couple. One of the things I like so much ...

Command Decision

Clark Gable, Walter Pidgeon

MGM (Warner), 1998

Command Decision
One of the earliest attempts to show the politics and terrible strain on a leader's conscience as America debates the effectiveness of daylight bombing. Great dialogue, made more intense by Clark Gable, Walter Pidgeon, and Brian Donleavy. Not much in the way of plane ...

Harvey Girls

Judy Garland, John Hodiak

MGM (Warner), 1992

Oldies but goodies!!
Absolutely loved it !! I love any movie with Judy Garland in it!

Jane Austen in Manhattan

Anne Baxter, Robert Powell

Charter Entertainment - O.B., 1987

a quirky experiment
I'm a Jane Austen freak and devoted to Merchant Ivory movies. This one is early and quirky. It's about art and acting. It's about two quite different ways to bring Jane Austen to life in Manhattan: a traditional, aristocratic way, and an avant garde liberatory way. ...
