Transatlantic Merry-Go-Round
Gene Raymond, Nancy Carroll
Uni Distribution
A great 30's era film.
This little gem of a movie is getting harder and harder to find. It is almost 70 years old. All of the stars in this film may have been well known then but they, except for Jack Benny, are almost all unknown to viewers today. The story is centered around a well ...

Ideal Husband (1999)
Cate Blanchett, Nancy Carroll (II)
Miramax, 2000
Fabulous Adaptation
It is always impossible to adapt a play to the screen without making some changes- and that was also true in this case. To which the only proper response is to say- so what? Did they keep the spirit and main ideas? Is it largely the same story? And in the case of any ...

The Gathering Storm
Albert Finney, Vanessa Redgrave
Hbo Home Video, 2003
All Brave Men
The Wall Street Journal stated: "So satisfying, so superb, so rich on so many levels." I cannot agree more. The Gathering Storm was a winner of three emmys (outstanding movie, lead actor (Albert Finney) and for writing). On every level, it was exceptional. The ...

That Certain Age
Deanna Durbin, Melvyn Douglas
Universal Studios, 1997
Track This One Down!
Deanna Durbin stars in yet another hit as Alice, a girl stuck between childhood and adulthood. One cannot ignore that these pre-teen or teenage years were treated a bit differently than when this film was made, so the kids might behave younger than they would in ...

The April Fools
Jack Lemmon, Catherine Deneuve
20th Century Fox, 1998
My All Time Favorite Movie
I was working in a movie theater when "The April Fools" first came out. Once the customers were seated, I had a choice of watching either this movie or the then mega hit The Graduate. I saw The Graduate just once. I watched The April Fools over 50 times. I've ...

Destiny Turns on the Radio
Dylan McDermott, Nancy Travis
Hbo Home Video, 1997
When is the DVD coming out?
I am not a film scholar, and I don't work at watching films. They are a form of entertainment and relaxation for me. Perhaps this is what allowed me to enjoy this film so much. I stumbled across this gem in the rough while checking out what was on cable (actually ...

Iris (2001)
Judi Dench, Jim Broadbent
Miramax, 2003
Deeply moving
Having just finished watching "Iris" on DVD, I'm still of two minds about having watched it. The performance by Dame Judi Dench is breathtakingly brilliant as the famous novelist and philosopher, Dame Iris Murdoch. The story encompasses her youth as a student at ...

The Naked Man
Michael Rapaport, Michael Jeter
Polygram USA Video, 2000
One of the best comedies I've ever seen
I feel bad that I enjoyed this movie especially as much as I did. Frankly as far as style and technique goes from a production stand point this is a about as bad as it gets. Yet I love it beyond words. As far as I'm concerned J. Todd Anderson is a genius. I was ...

Dain Curse
James Coburn, Hector Elizondo
Starmaker Entertainment, 1991
Dain Curse
This movie is one of the best detective movies ever made. I would rank it with the 1940 production of The Maltese Falcon. Coburn is perfect as private detective Hamilton Nash, and the rest of the cast deliver matchless performances that only the finest actors can. I ...

Scarlet Dawn
Douglas Fairbanks Jr., Nancy Carroll
MGM (Warner), 1998
VINTAGE HISTORICAL ROMANCE.
This almost-forgotten flick from 1932 is a lavishly adorned costume epic which is set during the Russian Revolution. Aristocratic Fairbanks plays Nikiti who flees his Russian home with his maid Tanyusha (the elusive-on-video Nancy Carroll). The lovers end up in ...
