Shirley Maclaine

Sally Field, Dolly Parton

Sony Pictures, 1994

always a favorite
This is one of the best movies I've ever seen. The flavor of the South is so enjoyable (one of my favorite scenes is the dancing at Shelby's wedding), and the cast is superb. Thought I'd better get the dvd before my tape wears out from being played over and over.

Bliss of Mrs Blossom

Shirley MacLaine, Richard Attenborough

Paramount, 1992

Don't make 'em like that anymore!
If ever a film deserves the description of "cult film", The Bliss of Mrs Blossom is it. Largely ignored on its release in the late sixties (I can remember seeing it in a virtually deserted cinema in Baltimore) it is so much a product and reflection of its time that it ...

Inner Workout

Shirley Maclaine, Suzanne Doucet

Live / Artisan, 1997

Amazing
The first time I viewed this video, I was suffering from several slipped disks and sciatica. Visits to the chiropractor were not helping. I watched the video mainly to see whether it would help me overcome the depression that accompanied my pain, and to my surprise, it ...

Turning Point

Shirley MacLaine, Anne Bancroft

20th Century Fox, 1993

Great Tender Movie
I hadn't seen this movie in over 10 years, but even though there were some slow scenes, I'll still watch this movie again and again. The dancing was wonderful, and Leslie Brown's dancing sparkled. Youthful, Mikhail Baryshnikov was fantastic, as usual. I also loved ...

Used People

Shirley MacLaine, Marcello Mastroianni

20th Century Fox, 1998

Brings Back Memories
Please release a DVD! This beautiful film truly captures the essence of a New York family in the 60s. Great casting, great talent, great acting and beautiful photography make this film likely to make those of us who experienced this time period in NY very sentimental.

You're the Top: Cole Porter Story

Bobby Short, Jean Howard

Winstar, 1998

Perfect Documentary
If you want to know Cole Porter, this is a better introduction than the recent film effort, "De-Lovely," and far better than the old Cary Grant fiction. Both movies fudge on Cole's character, with "De-Lovely" trying to depict Porter as a guy working out his gay issues ...

Out on a Limb Miniseries

Shirley MacLaine, Charles Dance

Starmaker Entertainment, 1997

One of my favorite books and movies EVER
I thought this book was amazing when it first came out, when I was literally a teenager and first starting to think about life and what it all meant. I believe I have re-read this book over the years at least 6 times, and I always get something from it. For some ...

The Apartment

Jack Lemmon, Shirley MacLaine

MGM (Video & DVD), 1997

STILL GREAT AFTER ALL THESE YEARS!
I am reviewing the new collector's edition DVD for this film. The film itself is a true classic and still holds up beautifully. Jack Lemmon is in fine form as well as the entire cast. The print looks great on this edition and there are a couple of very good extras. One ...

Wrestling Ernest Hemingway

Robert Duvall, Richard Harris

Warner Home Video, 1998

Who do we write to get this on DVD? GREAT MOVIE
This is a great movie. I saw it on cable TV some time ago. I want to buy this, but must have a DVD. Who do we write to request this?

Evening Star

Shirley MacLaine, Bill Paxton

Paramount Pictures, 1997

love the spin off of terms!
very moving and great spin off of "terms of endearment" she had a hard life as I had.

Ask Any Girl

David Niven, Shirley MacLaine

MGM (Warner), 1993

A case study in motivational research
Great comedy. Typical of the era. I have watched it at least 50 times. Each time you get a different perspective. David Niven and Gig young are brothers in a research firm David Niven (Miles Doughton) does all the work; while Gig Young (Evan Doughton) does all the ...

Out on a Limb - ABC Video Version

Shirley MacLaine, Charles Dance

ABC Video, 1986

Spreading The "New Age" Message On The Airways
Quick to capitalize on the skyrocketing success of Shirley MacLaine's '83 bestselling book `Out on a Limb' Shirley and ABC Network released this 160 minute miniseries of the same name in '87. `Out on a Limb' was highly anticipated television event aired on two ...

Sweet Charity

Shirley MacLaine, John McMartin

Universal Studios, 1992

Gina's Kitchen
What is there not to like about Shirley McClain and Bob Fossee. We had to replace a old video tape which we wore out.

These Old Broads

Shirley MacLaine, Debbie Reynolds

Sony Pictures, 2002

Actually, it is a lot of fun
It is interesting to read the rather divergent reviews of this TV movie here. Personally, I loved it, having been a long-time fan of all of the ladies. Not nearly enough of Liz in the film, sure, but Debbie has some great wisecracks and Joan not only looks amazing ...

Being There

Ruth Attaway, Richard Basehart

Warner Home Video, 1994

Subtle and Sublime Masterpiece!
It's been nearly three decades (ugh!) since I saw this film in the theater and always remembered it as being one of the great movies of all time - intelligent, witty, satirical, and thought-provoking. Sadly, I hadn't had a chance (no pun intended) to see it since and, ...
