 | Union Pacific [Read More ...]
Description: "The legend of Union Pacific is the drama of a nation, young, tough, prodigal and invincible, conquering with an iron highroad the endless reaches of the West." This stemwinder of a foreword strikes the pseudo-biblical/American Empire keynote for Cecil B. DeMille's "history" of ... |

 | Reap the Wild Wind [Read More ...]
Description: John Wayne was in the early stages of superstardom when this lavish Cecil B. DeMille adventure was produced in 1942, so it's interesting to see the Duke in a heroic supporting role as opposed to the commanding one. Here he's on equal footing with Ray Milland in the romantic lead... |
 | Little Miss Marker [Read More ...]
Description: Shirley Temple's superstardom in the 1930s was associated with Twentieth Century Fox, but before Fox locked her down she made two films for Paramount. It was 1934, her breakthrough year, and these pictures are not quite yet the showcase vehicles Fox would assemble for their pint-... |

 | Spawn of the North (B&W) [Read More ...]
Review: Four Great Stars in a Five Star Film :SPAWN OF THE NORTH is one of the most underrated films from the late 1930's although at the time it was a big hit and won Academy Awards for it's excellent special effects (so impressive they were lifted in put in later films). The movie sta... |

 | Caught in the Draft [Read More ...]
Review: Scarcely A Trace Of Wit.:Not even Bob Hope, escorted by a raft of fine character actors, can save this poorly written attempt at wartime comedy, as his patented timing has little which which to work. The plot involves a Hollywood film star named Don Bolton (Hope), and his attempt... |
 | Big Broadcast of 1938 [Read More ...]
Review: A Disappointing Waste of W.C. Fields:It's easy to see why W.C. Fields hated "The Big Broadcast of 1938," since his unique talents were ill-suited for Paramount's musical-comedy revue. The few memorable moments in this 90-minute hodgepodge can be found during the first hour - high... |

Review: OK, I will: it's murder.:Looks as if it was written and directed by a couple of kids still at school. I can remember being in amateur theatricals like this when I was about 16 or 17. The director has a few visual ideas; eg, the wooden bars of a staircase banister turn into the ir... |

Review: GOOD ROAN QUALITY:These movies are issued by a myriad of companies. I only have this set so I can't comment on the comparative quality. I can state that I am satisfied with the quality of this Roan set. That is, the images are mostly crisp and there wasn't much hiss. The pric... |

Collector's edition VHS tape - 92 minutes featuring Humphry Bogart and Sidney Fox. |
![]() | Broadway Bill [Read More ...]
Too early Capra:This is not a good movie, despite the directorship of Capra and the presence of some solid actors. Warner Baxter is miscast. The story is very weak and predictable. And the technical aspects of the film are poor. (Harry Cohn loved stock shots; they were cheap.) Save your money. |
