Goodbye Mr. Chips (1969)

Peter O'Toole, Petula Clark

MGM (Warner), 1995

Wonderful
That this is not available in DVD is incomprehensible. Who still has a VHS??? The last time I saw this I cryed, grown up man that I am and was ,next to my date at a retro movie house. "A" performances by all, music is a embellishment to the story, not a distraction. ...

Even after 20 years, I still remember this charming film. BRING OUT THE DVD!
I saw this charming film on the recommendation of my brother in law. A film about a pope who gets locked out? Eeeehhhhhhhh, I dunno. My husband and I watched it and were absolutely charmed. We have been looking for a DVD version for the last few years to add it to ...

Secret Garden

Margaret O'Brien, Herbert Marshall

MGM (Warner), 1992

Great film - restoration needed
I had only seen this film I think once before the 1993 remake was released, and the latter was the version I grew up with. I never realized how great a film the 1949 original really was until I rediscovered it when it aired on TCM on Christmas Eve two or three years ...

Turning Point

Anne Bancroft, Shirley MacLaine

20th Century Fox, 1993

spp
I love this movie!! It didn't get the credit it deserved!! The fight scene between Shirley MacLaine and Anne Bancroft is hilarious!

Midnight Lace

Doris Day, Rex Harrison

Universal Studios, 1996

Where's the DVD...?
Think what you want, Doris Day was a fine actress. This has to be one of her best. She did drama as well as comedy (remember "The Man Who Knew Too Much"? Hitchcock loved blondes...) This is a clever film, with a terrific cast (and also John Gavin, so nice to look ...

Cavalcade

Diana Wynyard, Clive Brook

20th Century Fox, 1998

Twentieth Century Blues
We always think of Noel Coward as being this hip, ironic, sophisticated glibster but at heart he wasall mush and my, oh my, did he love England, everything about it, especially its aristocracy. CAVALCADE the movie is a faithful recreation of his showstopping London ...

Rose Marie (1936)

Jeanette MacDonald, Nelson Eddy

MGM (Warner), 1998

Indian Love Call Classic
If ever a film deserved the label "classic romance," Rose Marie is the one. It starts out kinda slow, but gradually builds to a heartwrenching climax. Marie de Flor (Jeanette MacDonald) is an opera star who learns her brother, John Flower (James Stewart) has escaped ...

The Further Adventures of "Ma & Pa Kettle"

Marjorie Main, Percy Kilbride

Universal Studios, 1995

Ma & Pa from The Egg and I (1947) get their own movie series.
This is he first starring role for Ma & Pa Kettle, but not the first film they appeared in. The very first film Majorie Main and Percy Kilbride as "Ma & Pa Kettle", along with Richard Long was in the film "The Egg And I" (1947). They were only minor characters in the ...

Great Waltz, The (1938)

Luise Rainer, Fernand Gravey

MGM (Warner), 1998

vocal and musical masterpiece
the voice of miliza korjus is the most redeeming reason for having this video. She was a rare gift to the vocal world...and hated by Jeanette Macdonald, because she knew Ms Korjus had a better voice and was most certainly more beautiful! It is not to be missed for the ...

Excellent Movie, Excellent DVD

Hopscotch

Walter Matthau, Glenda Jackson

Embassy/Nelson Ent. - O.B., 1989

Delightful put-down of stuffy bureacracies
Walter Matthau, is, as always, a top performer, and this DVD is no exception. It is essentially a kind of pure American put down of stuffy bureacracies and bureacrats by the usual witty, bright, and go-your-own-way battler against city hall(s). Here Matthau takes on ...
