St. Clair Vision, 2006

Season of miracles
The CHRISTMAS COLLECTION consists of two theatrical films and two made-for-TV movies. BEYOND TOMORROW-- Three wealthy old misers drop wallets on the sidewalk outside their mansion to see if anyone honest will return them. A young woman and man each retrieve a wallet. They meet at the stately house and eventually fall in love. All five become good friends, with the tricksters learning a lesson ...

Beyond Christmas (1940)

26 reviews
Harry Carey, C. Aubrey Smith

20th Century Fox, 2004

A Holiday treat
This is a charming Christmas movie that deserves a spot in your Holiday dvd collection. It's quite a little gem. 1940 seems like another Universe nowadays and that is part of the sweetness of this film.

Destry Rides Again

Marlene Dietrich, James Stewart

Universal Studios, 2003

Hilarious Western Comedy!
Marlene Dietrich and James Stewart make a great combination in "DESTRY RIDES AGAIN". This movie was directed by none other than George Marshall (who would remake it in 1954 starring Audie Murphy), was suggested by the novel "Destry Rides Again" by Max Brand, and co-starred Brian Donlevy, Mischa Auer, Charles Winninger, and Una Merkel. The basic story is quite simple, actually. The brawling town ...

Warner Home Video, 2004

WONDERFUL MUSICAL-DRAMA
.. with an all-star cast. The plot is not new(Stage Door, How to Marry a Millionaire and Valley of the Dolls to mention but a few), but Judy, Hedy and Lana do an admirable job. Never mind highbrow critcs; Hedy Lamarr wasn`t THAT bad and Lana does one of her best acting jobs ever. Judy is a tomboy and it`s sad that life eventually took her into the direction of Lana`s character Sheila. The ...

"Our State Fair Is A Great State Fair" ~ A Nostalgic Trip To Rural America
Until yesterday I hadn't viewed the '45 musical `State Fair' in at least thirty years if not more. While watching the madcap and romantic rural adventures of this good hearted, middle American family a couldn't help feeling as though I had been sucked through some sort of time warp to a time and place far more distant than a state fair in Iowa circa 1945. Was the world ever as simple, honest and ...

Wally Cook (Fredric March), a New York newspaper reporter writes a series of stories about her; the readers learn about Hazel and they get caught up with this story.

Soup to Nuts with the Three Stooges

8 reviews
Ted Healy, Charles Winninger

20th Century Fox, 2005

For a Stooge or otherwise classic comedy fan.
I've wanted to see this film for quite awhile, and I must say, I wasn't let down! This film is a riot. The plot isn't strong, but it doesn't need to be. Between early forms of Stoogery, Fred Sanborn's silent and musical antics (I may even be willing to argue he stole the show), Ted Healy's 'relationship' with an obnoxious girlfriend, and the 'Hat Tipping' device, this movie is more than just a ...

Dark Command / A Lady Takes A Chance (Double Feature)

1 review
Jean Arthur, John Wayne

Republic Pictures, 2007

Lady takes a chance and so should you
It is good to get two good films in a double feature like this. "Dark Command" has long time been a favorite of mine. Ayoung John Wayne play the part of an illiterate cowboy who becomes sheriff in Kansas just before the star of the Civil War. He must match wits with the wily villian played well by Walter Pidgeon. Throw in a cast that includes Claire Trevor, Gabby Hayes and Roy Rogers and you ...

Charming Wartime Romance
"You can see anything you want to see if you close your eyes." -- Deanna Durbin This charming wartime romance was Deanna Durbin's third turn as the youngest member of the three Craig daughters, Penny. While it doesn't quite have the energy of "Three Smart Girls" or "Three Smart Girls Grow Up," and there are only references to Penny's sisters during home movies, the appeal of Cotten and ...

Belle of the Yukon

5 reviews
Randolph Scott, Gypsy Rose Lee

MGM (Video & DVD), 2005

Great chance to see Gypsy Rose Lee!
Yes, its a lightweight film. Its also a great chance to see some rare footage of Gypsy Rose Lee's short film career. Randolf Scott (a handsome matinee idol in his day) is a strong veteran actor and plays his contrived role to the hilt. Don't expect plot; just enjoy the rich visual experience of this vacuous film-as-entertainment novelty feature.

Image Entertainment, 2000

In a world full of filth, what a relief to find that the "good actors" can be your refuge!
As a mother trying her best to find decent entertainment fit for children, I depend a lot on the old greats like Jimmy Stewart to deliver a performance that I can be confident will give my children a good example or at least wholesome entertainment. For all those who criticize this movie, I will admit it is not one of Jimmy Stewart's best, but it is decent, charming, and full of pleasant songs. ...
