 | Wizard of Oz [Read More ...]
Description: When it was released during Hollywood's golden year of 1939, The Wizard of Oz didn't start out as the perennial classic it has since become. The film did respectable business, but it wasn't until its debut on television that this family favorite saw its popularity soar. And while... |
 | Gone with the Wind [Read More ...]
Description: David O. Selznick wanted Gone with the Wind to be somehow more than a movie, a film that would broaden the very idea of what a film could be and do and look like. In many respects he got what he worked so hard to achieve in this 1939 epic (and all-time box-office champ in terms o... |

 | A Guy Named Joe [Read More ...]
Review: "Girl clothes! From London! You bought me girl clothes!":A GUY NAMED JOE is a wonderful, old-fashioned, patriotic film made in 1944 during WWII. Starring Spencer Tracy, Irene Dunne, Van Johnson, Ward Bond, and Lionel Barrymore, A GUY NAMED JOE is the story of Pete (Tracy), a h... |
 | Great Waltz, The (1938) [Read More ...]
The Great Waltz:I throughly enjoyed this movie and would recommend it to any one who enjoys good music. The plot was entertaining and you were hoping that his wife would win out in the end. A good way to spend a couple of hours. |

 | Tortilla Flat [Read More ...]
Review: MGM + Steinbeck = Disaster:Time has not been kind to "Tortilla Flat" (1942). Spencer Tracy, John Garfield and Hedy Lamarr are regrettably miscast in this disappointing adaptation of John Steinbeck's 1935 novel. However, Frank Morgan earned an Oscar nomination for his standout per... |

 | Adventure (1945) [Read More ...]
Review: "Gable's back, and Garson's got him!": I am a BIG Greer Garson fan, and I think this movie was superb! I thought the chemistry between Gable and Garson was wonderful. I really believed every moment of this movie.
This film marks the only teaming of Greer Garson and Clark Gabl... |

 | Good Earth [Read More ...]
Description: MGM's status as the "class" studio was fully engaged when production chief Irving Thalberg took on this expensive, serious adaptation of Pearl Buck's Pulitzer Prize-winning novel. A smooth entertainment with a stiff portion of this-is-good-for-you seriousness, The Good Earth epi... |
 | Bombshell [Read More ...]
Description: The whirlwind comedy Bombshell deserves a place in the pantheon next to such screwball cinema classics as Bringing Up Baby and My Man Godfrey. The incomparable "laughing vamp" Jean Harlow, for whom the term bombshell might well have been coined, scintillates in this ferocious exp... |
 | Captains Courageous [Read More ...]
Description: The award-winning 1937 version of Kipling's classic Captains Courageous finds spoiled-rotten brat Harvey Cheyne (Freddie Bartholomew) well on the way to becoming a horrible adult, under the illusion that money can buy all happiness. The little monster falls off a cruise ship, and... |
 | Test Pilot [Read More ...]
Review: Cast Pulls Through:It is a simple story, really. Jim (Clark Gable) and Gunner (Spencer Tracy) are test pilots. They risk their lives for thrills and a quick buck. Jim loves women and Gunner loves Jim. Howard Drake (Lionel Barrymore) is their mentor, and he knows them through and ... |

![]() | Red Dust [Read More ...]
Description: Red Dust is the second of six movies Clark Gable and Jean Harlow made together. As usual, he plays a rugged man's man whose devilishly sexy good looks and deep-rooted gallantry make him irresistible to women; she, a tough, no-nonsense broad with a smart mouth, champagne hair, a b... |
 | Dr Jekyll & Mr Hyde (1941) [Read More ...]
Description: Classy MGM was not the studio most likely to make a horror movie in 1941, and in fact its production of Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde ended up looking more like a glossy costume drama than a B-movie frightfest. The mood of Robert Louis Stevenson's tale of a divided doctor is ably ca... |
 | Treasure Island (Colorized Version) [Read More ...]
Description: For many people, this 1934 version is the definitive Treasure Island: the great chemistry between Wallace Beery and Jackie Cooper, the rousing pirate anthems, and the stubborn parrot on the shoulder. The pairing of the actors was a cinch, coming three years after their tremendo... |
