Gigi (1958) [VHS]

Leslie Caron, Maurice Chevalier

MGM (Video & DVD), 1998

GIGI - FINALLY
Finally with the help of Blu-Ray, GIGI can be seen and enjoyed like nothing else. This is one of my favorite, favorite, favorite MGM musicals. I saw this as a teenager about fifty gazillion times. I was so delighted when it came out in letterbox format on VHS, Laser ...

Another Time Another Place (1958) [VHS]

Lana Turner, Barry Sullivan

Paramount, 1990

Great Late Night Film
I first saw this film about 10 years ago on AMC when I was in college. I instantly fell in love with it. Sean Connery, Lana Turner, and Glynis Johns are all superb. The story takes place in England during the waning days of WWII. This is a story of two women in love ...

The Brothers Karamazov (1958) [VHS]

Yul Brynner, Maria Schell

MGM (Warner), 1998

Underrated.
It practically goes without saying that this Hollywood production is inadequate as an adaptation of a monumental novel. On the other hand, even when judged as an adaptation, "Brothers Karamazov" strikes me as superior to efforts to film similar weighty Russian novels ...

Vertigo (1958) [VHS]

Isabel Analla, Raymond Bailey

Universal Studios, 1999

The master of suspense completely outdoes himself...
I'm sure many, if not all of you, have seen this movie (it is a widely loved classic) but for the sake of those who have not, I will keep this review as brief and as vague as I can. `Vertigo' is a masterpiece. Okay, so I'll say more than that. The thing is, ...

I Want to Live (1958) [VHS]

Susan Hayward, Simon Oakland

MGM (Video & DVD), 1997

A Virtuoso Performance By A Legend!
Susan Hayward won the Academy Award in 1958 for her performance of a woman on death row. Probably the best thing Hayward ever did, one gets the sense that her character is wrongly accused of murder. The story and plot move at a great pace, and all the performances are ...

Long Hot Summer (1958) [VHS]

Paul Newman, Joanne Woodward

20th Century Fox, 1998

Smokin' Hot
This is a real gem. I never read the Faulkner source material(I unstand it's derived from three works) but this could lead to the bookshelf. Director Martin Ritt, in his second effort after "Edge of the City"(soon to released on DVD) shows the sure hand that he ...

Separate Tables (1958) [VHS]

Deborah Kerr, Rita Hayworth

MGM (Video & DVD), 1997

A must for any classic movie fan
This is a tremendous drama, when you are in 'the mood' to watch a classic drama. Top notch cast & acting ! Rita Hayworth and Burt Lancaster and David Niven all stand out in this. The scenes with Hayworth and Lancaster just electrify the screen, you can feel the ...

Jalsaghar - The Music Room (1958) [VHS]

Chhabi Biswas, Padmadevi

Sony Pictures, 1997

From hate to attraction
One of about 10 Ray films we saw at The Greenway during a Houston foreign film festival some years ago. I hated the contnet of the film after leaving the theater, but somehow the acting had an effect that I couldn't forget. For one thing, the 'knowing', implicitly ...

No Time for Sergeants (1958 Live TV Version)

Andy Griffith, Roddy McDowell

Wood Knapp Video

No Time For Sargeants
This was one of my favorite movies with Andy Griffith in it. I especially liked the part where they were thought dead. This was a very funny movie. I watch it often.
