 | A Song is Born [Read More ...]
Description: There's little question that a remake of a successful film, even if inferior to the original (witness Sabrina), can be well received by an audience. It's unfortunate that this highly entertaining film is often dismissed in the wake of its equally excellent and successful predeces... |
 | Captain Horatio Hornblower [Read More ...]

 | The Kid from Brooklyn [Read More ...]
Description: There's little question that the brilliant Danny Kaye did some of his finest--and most memorable--work in the lush and lavish Samuel Goldwyn musicals that he made both during and immediately after World War II. The Kid from Brooklyn, based on the play The Milky Way, is no excepti... |

Review: Fantastic!:My mother and I used this tape when I was a child every evening after dinner. Unfortunately, our VCR ate the tape. I can't believe that years later I found the tape again on Amazon!
The tape is wonderful! There are three levels that progressively get more difficult... |

 | Along the Great Divide [Read More ...]
Description: Raoul Walsh directed one knockout movie after another in the 1940s, then mostly knockoff movies in the '50s. This trim journey Western typifies his '50s high-average. Kirk Douglas plays a U.S. marshal who interrupts rancher Morris Ankrum's lynching of Walter Brennan. Brennan was ... |

Description: This superb 1949 crime drama takes elements of plot, character, and theme familiar from '30s melodramas and orchestrates them as an existential tragedy noir. James Cagney, in a towering performance, is Cody Jarrett, a transparently psychotic robber with a molten temper, feral c... |

Review: An Excellent Film:They don't make them like this anymore. Intelligent dialogue. An uplifting score. Absolutely astonishing acrobatics. This film is without nothing. If you have not seen this then you must.

 | The Princess and the Pirate [Read More ...]
Description: Bob Hope is in top form in this Technicolor parody of pirate pictures, doing his best vaudeville shtick as an inept performer trying to save princess Virginia Mayo from the evil clutches of governor Walter Slezak and pirate Victor McLaglen. It's all ridiculous fun, of course, but... |

Review: Don't Drink From This Chalice:One of the worst films in this genre starring Paul Newman, Virginia Mayo, Jack Palance, Pier Angeli, Joseph Wiseman, Natalie Wood, E.G. Marshall, Lorne Greene and Alexander Scourby. The story follows the life of a Greek slave asked to craft a silver ... |
