Warren William

Imitation of Life (1934)

Claudette Colbert, Warren William

Universal Studios, 1998

Interesting and Enjoyable
I prefer this version to the more famous later version. "Aunt Delilah" didn't bother me. I think the character was realistic about how to live in those times. It's nice to watch this movie because it's preWW2 and there's an authentic Japanese male pancake customer ...

Picnic (Widescreen)

William Holden, Kim Novak

Sony Pictures, 1994

A great movie!
I like the movie so well on TCM I'm going to order a copy to watch again. This is a rarity for me.

Baja Oklahoma

Lesley Ann Warren, Carmen Argenziano

Warner Home Video, 1993

A Country Charmer Penned by Dan Jenkins...
Baja Oklahoma is a wonderful HBO Original Film that is remembered primarily as an early Julia Roberts vehicle, but deserves much more than that! Written by 'Semi-Tough' scribe Dan Jenkins, the film crackles with great one-liners, inspired casting, and a 'Cinderella' ...

Broadway Serenade

Jeanette MacDonald, Lew Ayres

MGM (Video & DVD), 1992

Bad picture for Jeanette.
Making this one was a very sad & trying time for her. Too bad that Tyrant Mayer could'nt see that thru the dollar signs.

Motown 25 - Yesterday, Today, Forever

Paul Williams (XVI), Jackie Jackson (II)

MGM (Video & DVD), 1991

Not just music................but music history!
I had the pleasure of watching this incredible program when it originally aired on NBC (May 16, 1983). Like cheese and fine wine, it gets better with age. Great sets by Stevie Wonder, Four Tops/Temptations, Lionel Richie and the original Jackson Five/Michael Jackson. ...

Wild Bunch (1969)

William Holden, Ernest Borgnine

Warner Home Video, 1992

ONE OF THE BEST WESTERNS EVER
I liked Sam Peckinpah's "The Wild Bunch" way back in 1969, and I like it today. The HD DVD version is pristine, looks like it did on the big screen in 1969. This was probably the most expensive western ever made; a lot of elaborate sets and and loads of extras. ...

Follow the Sun: The Ben Hogan Story

Glenn Ford, Anne Baxter

20th Century Fox, 1995

One Of The Few Movies About Golf
This is a good biopic about golf immortal Ben Hogan, master of the repetitive swing and accurate beyond belief. It reflects the dramatic standards of 1951, however, and you just have to know that Ben and wife Valerie CRINGED when they saw some of the onscreen ...

The Shop Around the Corner

Margaret Sullavan, James Stewart

Warner Home Video, 2000

The Shop Around the Corner-- simple plot, simple dialogue, lovely film.
The Shop Around the Corner James Stewart and Margaret Sullavan are able role models for Van Johnson and Judy Garland (In the Good Old Summertime) and Tom Hanks and Meg Ryan (You've Got Mail). For an Ernst Lubitsch fan this is a must-- a gentle film with a simple but ...

Other Side of the Mountain 1

Marilyn Hassett, Beau Bridges

Universal Studios, 1998

Helen Morgan Story

Ann Blyth, Paul Newman

Warner Home Video, 1995

Excellent Movie
I happened to be in the video store and was looking through my favorite section (classical movies) when I decided this looked interesting. I had no idea I would be so pleased! Paul Newman gives a wonderful performance of a man set to achieve his ambitions by using the ...

Lassiter

Tom Selleck, Jane Seymour

Warner Home Video, 1992

Another movie that deserves a DVD release
This little known movie stars Tom Selleck as an American jewel cat thief in pre-World War II London. It's a great movie and has an incredible supporting cast including Bob Hoskins as a police officer doggedly on the title characters trail. Adding beauty to the movie is ...

Deep Rising

Treat Williams, Famke Janssen

Walt Disney Video, 1999

As good as anything in the genre
I tend to write reviews of films I really like or films that engage my mind. Deep Rising is alot of the first and a teeny bit of the second. I agree with any one who says that this is a fun picture. I think the sets, particularly on board the ship, are gorgeous. ...

Cleopatra

Claudette Colbert, Warren William

Universal Studios, 1995

In politics, there is no space for a flaming love!
The well known story of Cleopatra and her smart blending the politics and love afairs between Caesar and Marc Anthony acquires in this case a memorable result. Claudette Colbert's alluring beauty fits admirably all the way through. The fluid camerawork of De Mille ...

About a Boy

Hugh Grant, Nicholas Hoult

Universal Studios, 2003

One of my Top 10 Favorite movies of all time
Despite the fact I am emotionally shallow and somewhat stupid, I think this movie is brilliant and a classic.

Shy People

Jill Clayburgh, Barbara Hershey

Warner Home Video, 1998

Shy People
A good movie done from good writing. The acting is excellent all around. It was real, a little dark at times, poigniant,but engaging. I'm surprised that it never made it to a DVD version. The used VHS I got was in good condition but the color had faded - which no one ...
