Oscar

Gene Kelly, Leslie Caron

MGM (Video & DVD), 1998

Special Edition gets Ultra-Resolution Process
Warner Brothers' proprietary Ultra-Resolution process has brought new life to such classics as "The Wizard of Oz," "Gone With the Wind," Errol Flynn's "Robin Hood," and "Singin' in the Rain." By going back to the original three-strip technicolor negatives and ...

36 Hours (1964)

James Garner, Eva Marie Saint

MGM (Warner), 1996

WWII spy movie
Great, great movie. John Banner (Schultz in "Hogan's Heroes") nearly steals the end of the film.

The King and I

Deborah Kerr, Yul Brynner

20th Century Fox, 1999

The King And I
Great movie, should have won the Best Picture award in 1956. Great acting by Brynner, Kerr, and Moreno. Yul won the Best Actor award in 1956. Great sets, costumes, et cetera, et cetera. A "Must-See" movie for all.

Rosalie

Nelson Eddy, Eleanor Powell

MGM (Warner), 1995

Romance in Romanza
If you like musicals and are Young at Heart, you will fall in love with the beautiful Eleanor Powell and be mesmerized by her athletic prowess. Throw in Cole Porter's elegant, rhythmic music and you're hooked. Forget a complicated plot; if that's what you seek, find ...

Inspiration

Greta Garbo, Robert Montgomery

MGM (Warner), 1994

Ok movie..I give it 4 stars for Garbo's allure
Of all of Garbo's movies I've seen to date, this film may be the one with the "weakest" plot, but her presence & allure are worth the watch. For example, although "Anna Christie" (another early '30s) was a more "static" early talkie, nevertheless, I think "Anna..." is ...

Picture of Dorian Gray (1945)

George Sanders, Hurd Hatfield

MGM (Warner), 1998

New DVD release with commentary is announced
The classic moral/horror tale is to finally be released on DVD by Warner Home Video. The story has a Jekyl and Hyde type quality with Dorian making a wish after his portrait is painted that he will remain eternally young while his portrait grows old. George Sanders ...

Rhapsody in Blue

Robert Alda, Joan Leslie

MGM (Video & DVD), 1998

21 minutes, a very important piece.
I discovered this movie back in the early 60's when i use to collect vintage 35mm movie prints. This is the only works i've ever seen of George Gershwin. A pleasant surprise for me was an actress named Alexis Smith. Little did i know that one day i would work with her ...

Gone with the Wind

Thomas Mitchell, Barbara O'Neil

MGM (Video & DVD), 1998

Gone With the Wind
Gone with the Wind (Four-Disc Collector's Edition) 1939 Excellent movie, excellent price. I got it for free shipping, but it took almost two weeks to get to me. I think it is worth the extra few bucks to get stuff sooner.

The Making of a Legend: Gone With the Wind

Christopher Plummer, L. Jeffrey Selznick

MGM (Video & DVD), 1998

Excellent Documentary
Everything you ever wanted to know about *GWTW* -- from Margaret Mitchell recalling her mother driving her out to see the ruined plantations around Atlanta, and telling her that she'd better learn to survive, to its historic status as being one of the most beloved ...

Romance on the High Seas

Jack Carson, Janis Paige

MGM (Video & DVD), 1998

breezy film with beautiful music and song--and there's even Doris Day before she was a virgin !!!
Romance On The High Seas has great musical numbers, a plot to keep your attention--and we see the film debut of Doris Day. The plot moves along at a good pace; and the acting is rather good although I've still seen better. The action begins when Mrs. Elvira Kent ...

Unlawful Entry

Kurt Russell, Ray Liotta

20th Century Fox, 1997

shoot to thrill
"Unlawful Entry" came out at a time when Americans were so hungry for those suspenseful, yet rather predictable thrillers. Ray Liotta is Pete, the nice cop who is wound just a bit too tight. Have you ever noticed that all those kooks always start out really nice and ...

A Few Good Men

Tom Cruise, Jack Nicholson

Sony Pictures, 2002

Super Movie
This movie is a great movie. It also is such a good movie in the beginning of Tom Cruise and Demi Moore's careers. And of course Jack Nicholson ... he didn't have much of a part ... but what a part he played in this movie.

Conquest (1937)

Greta Garbo, Charles Boyer

MGM (Warner), 1998

Nice old-fashioned historical romance!
Charles Boyer and Greta Garbo play opposite each other as, respectively, the great Napoleon Bonaparte and a Polish noblewoman who captures his heart. Garbo is stunning: this is her at the height of her sensuality, while Boyer's Napoleon is a fiery, arrogant, magnetic ...

The Sound of Music

Julie Andrews, Christopher Plummer

20th Century Fox, 2000

Music to My Eyes
Everyone knows how popular this movie is but I had no idea after 30 years how much I would love it. My mother insisted I see it as a teenager and I wanted no part of it. As an adult with girls 3 and 6, we are enchanted with this movie and watch it any chance we get. It ...

Mannequin (1938)

Joan Crawford, Spencer Tracy

MGM (Warner), 1998

this is Joan's Shining Hour
This is one of those rare pictures that Joan made from the thirties that aren't very glamorous. Even though Joan doesn't get dressed up (except when she's a "walking mannequin" she's still so beautiful in each and every scene that she's in. In this picture, Joan plays ...
