Lord Peter Wimsey: Clouds of Witness

Ian Carmichael, George Coulouris

Acorn Media, 1999

Marvelous!
I am so glad to see this on DVD, and those who have it on VHS will be surprised--it looks fantastic! You'd never know this was done in 1972. The picture is crisp and clear, even when switching from video to film (a common practice in those days--film outdoors, and ...

All This & Heaven Too

Bette Davis, Charles Boyer

MGM (Warner), 1998

Superb!!
I am 26 yrs old and wasn't even thought of when this movie was made, but I love it. Betty Davis was so demure in this film. I believe that all black&white movie lovers should have this in their collection. I missed the full showing on TCM about 3 months ago and was ...

Song to Remember, A

Paul Muni, Merle Oberon

Sony Pictures, 1996

A SONG THAT I'LL CERTAINLY ALWAYS REMEMBER
A few days ago, thanks to Amazon and a kind gentleman named Ernest who had one to sell, I FINALLY became the proud owner of A Song to Remember on VHS - a little more than 56 years after I saw the actual movie. They say if something's good enough to want, it's good ...

Shout at the Devil

Lee Marvin, Roger Moore

Lions Gate/Vestron, 1989

USA DVD EDITION???
This is one of Lee Marvin's best movies and it's a shame that it is only in a Region 2 format, what about us poor schmucks that live in the USA and need a Region 1 release, what are we "Chopped Liver"?

Papillon (Spec)

Steve McQueen, Dustin Hoffman

Warner Home Video, 1997

One of the best movies EVER made.
If you like adventure movies, if you like movies that are excellently casted, if you like to root for the underdog... this movie is for you. In fact, if you are a living, breathing human being, this movie is for you. It is a wonderfully acted intriguing story... and ...

Lady in Question

Brian Aherne, Rita Hayworth

Sony Pictures, 1994

Engaging Little Film
A charming, cute movie, the first to pair Rita Hayworth and Glenn Ford, directed by Charles Vidor. Brian Aherne is funny and touching as Andre Morestan, the family man who finds himself a jury member on the case of young Natalie Roguin (Hayworth) accused of murdering ...

Arabesque

Gregory Peck, Sophia Loren

Universal Studios, 1992

Amusing
This film is very amusing. In fact it is one of my preferred ones. Frankly, I do not understand why it is not in DVD format!! The phtography is funny, with several non conventional angles (for example a bathroom seen from above). Stanley Donen has done an ...

Mahler

Robert Powell, Georgina Hale

Homevision, 2000

Bizarre, But Beautiful
Bizarre but Beautiful , June 19, 2005 Okay, this film does appear very strange at times, as it shows Austrian composer Gustav Mahler smashing a Star of David, taking a sword to symbolically kill a dragon (the old traditional German masters), and eating pork washed ...

None But the Lonely Heart

Cary Grant, Ethel Barrymore

Turner Home Ent, 1998

First Rate Drama
Clifford Odets wrote and directed this movie. Naturally, it follows the type of dramatic lines that you would expect from a playwright. I disagree with Leonard Maltin's review. This is a very fine movie and well worth any drama lover's attention. Cary Grant is very ...

Citizen Kane (Special Edition)

William Alland, Georgia Backus

RKO Radio Pictures, 2001

A classic!
Every movie lover should have this film in his/her library. Especially interesting was the commentary by Roger Ebert.

Assassination Bureau

Oliver Reed, Diana Rigg

Paramount, 1998

"Virtue, it seems, has been rewarded." "Well, really!"
This is one of my four favorite late 60's comedies that I used to make a point of watching for and watching again and again every time they were shown on TV. "The Assassination Bureau" is based on the unfinished Jack London novel, The Assassination Bureau, Ltd. ...

The Final Programme

Jon Finch, Jenny Runacre

Starz / Anchor Bay, 2001

"A very tastey world!"
What can you say about a film that, opening scene onwards, you either love or loathe? It's fantastically dated, and that's what makes it fantastic. From the London Red-Bus Movie music, the bizarro pseudo-science, the biting dialogue, and the (almost) Cast of ...

King of Kings (1961)

Jeffrey Hunter, Siobhan McKenna

MGM (Video & DVD), 1995

One of my favorites of all time!
King of Kings is one of my favorite movies from the moment that I saw it. I love the cast, I love the clothes, the drama and the emotion behind the film. And I love Jeffrey Hunter in this role very much. I think he balances perfectly the devotion of the Christ but at ...

Murder on the Orient Express

Albert Finney, Lauren Bacall

Paramount, 1998

A Visually Beautiful, Clever, Well-Acted, and Faithful Adaptation
MURDER ON THE ORIENT EXPRESS is an impressive movie. Well-acted, beautifully shot and lit, and with a sharp tongued script and stunning sets, it is a masterpiece, much like the genius book by Agatha Christie is considered today. The story follows detective Hercule ...

The Ritz (1976)

Jack Weston, Rita Moreno

Warner Home Video, 1998

THE RITZ
The Ritz This is worth owning...., I never saw the original but this is with most of the cast from the broadway show...., and it is a must for anyone who loves a good laugh...., Rita Moreno, is worth the price alone...., who else could give a great impression of a bad ...
