 | Pinocchio (Walt Disney Gold Classic Collection) [Read More ...]
Description: Count the number of truly classic animated films and the list would begin with Walt Disney's PINOCCHIO. C. Collodi's brilliant story of a little puppet who dreams of being a real boy unfolds as a shining example of vivid, rich, detailed Disney animation at its finest! An unforget... |

Description: James Cagney thrills in a rare (and limber) song-and-dance performance as composer-entertainer George M. Cohan. This nostalgic biography is told in flashbacks, covering Cohan's formative years becoming Broadway's brightest star and touching upon his loves, musicals, and artistic ... |
 | Friendly Persuasion [Read More ...]

 | Look for the Silver Lining [Read More ...]
Good performances for this movie:This is June Haver movie and she is good, but Ray Bolger (Wizard of OZ) stole the show. Gordon Macrae was hansome and good but not in the movie for long. The story is about Marilyn Miller famous Broadway actress. I give it 3 stars. Entertaing. |
 | Bringing Up Baby [Read More ...]
Description: "The love impulse in man," says a psychiatrist in Bringing Up Baby, "frequently reveals itself in terms of conflict." That's for sure. For a primer on the rules and regulations of the classic screwball comedy, which throws love and conflict into close proximity, look no further. ... |

Review: Sweet and Innocent:This sweet and old-fashioned offering from the lovely Deanna Durbin is very much a film of another time. A simple and liesurely paced film about a small town girl going to the big city shortly after her father's passing, there is a sweet innocence to both the h... |

Review: The Fox Musicals Were Bright:I always felt that 20th Century Fox put out the best story/music combination in the mid 1930s to early 1940s. There is a light hearted bounciness to the songs and these Fox musicals are, for me, much preferred to the overdone, sluggish MGM musicals. W... |
 | Pinocchio: Spanish Edition (Pinocho) [Read More ...]
Description: This Disney masterpiece from 1940 will hold up forever precisely because it doesn't restrain or temper the most elemental emotions and themes germane to its story. Based on the Collodi tale about a wooden puppet who wants to become a real boy, Pinocchio is among the most magical,... |
 | Mr Deeds Goes to Town [Read More ...]
Description: Mr. Deeds Goes to Town is Frank Capra's classic screwball comedy about a village innocent who inherits $20 million, only to discover it's more trouble than it's worth. The screwball in question is Longfellow Deeds (Gary Cooper), a small-town greeting-card poet and tuba player t... |

Sunset in the West:Thanks to the censors, Mae West's final film for Paramount is a tame little farce that trades heavily on the star's (fairly lame) impersonation of a brunette Frenchwoman. Dressed by Schiaparelli, she looks great, but it's a dull affair. |
 | His Butler's Sister (B&W) [Read More ...]
Review: Deanna delights in story of mixed identities:One of Deanna Durbin's best movies of the period, HIS BUTLER'S SISTER (1943) features the adorable songbird in a comedic story of mixed identities and showbusiness dreams. Co-starring with Franchot Tone, one of her most formidable and... |

 | Platinum Blonde [Read More ...]
Description: This Frank Capra comedy from 1931 helped define the screwball-comedy genre that became so popular with films like It Happened One Night and The Awful Truth. In this witty romp, Jean Harlow plays an upper-crust socialite who bullies her reporter husband (Robert Williams) into conf... |
 | Tale of Two Cities [Read More ...]
Description: Ronald Colman isn't even on screen for the most famous lines of his career ("It's a far, far better thing I do..."), but such is the power of the moment and the performance that everybody remembers it anyway. A Tale of Two Cities was the follow-up for producer David O. Selznick a... |
 | It Started With Eve [Read More ...]
Description: Among Deanna Durbin's happiest memories of Hollywood would be her two-film collaboration with actor Charles Laughton: 1946's minor Broadway-set comedy Because of Him and this imaginatively scripted gem that remains one of Durbin's best vehicles. In It Started with Eve, Deanna i... |

Cinema Fans:A must see not only for Crawford fans but for the student of film making.
That constant rain fall is brilliant. I doubt that the 'new sound' audience of the 1930s were prepared. |
 | Up in Arms [Read More ...]
Description: Up in Arms not only introduced Danny Kaye to moviegoing audiences, but marked his first (of several) ventures with producer Samuel Goldwyn. In this 1944 musical set in contemporary time, a hypochondriac has wartime adventures while trying to impress a pretty nurse. With its lush ... |

Review: A MADCAP SCREWBALL COMEDY...:This is a terrific, old fashioned, madcap, screwball comedy. Deftly directed by Howard Hawkes, the pace is frenetic from the get-go and never lets up. Starring Cary Grant, as a straight-laced paleontologist, and Katherine Hepburn, as an impulsive and ... |
