DVD: Claudette Colbert ...     DVD:       Midnight (Universal Cinema Classics)49 reviews Charles Brackett, Claudette Colbert Universal Studios, 2008 "Don't forget...every Cinderella has her midnight." And Midnight is one of the best of the screwball comedies If "Midnight" as a title seems puzzling, think Cinderella. Except this time our Cinderella is a gold digger with a self-defeating habit of falling for poor taxi drivers. She's also one of the foxiest, funniest and sexiest young ladies in Paris. No staying at home to sweep out the hearth for her. Midnight, released in 1939, was one of the last of the great romantic screwball comedies that ...             So Proudly We Hail (Universal Cinema Classics)29 reviews Claudette Colbert, Veronica Lake Universal Studios, 2007 Stellar Film This movie was a real treat. Most war films focus on the military, front-line aspects, understandably, and it's rare to find one that centers around the nurses' experiences. It's a shame this film not more well-known--I found out about it when I read "Our Mother's War"--because it hits all the right notes. The three principles, Claudette, Paulette, and Veronica play off each other very nicely. ...             It Happened One Night103 reviews Clark Gable, Claudette Colbert Sony Pictures, 1999 Just keep your eye on that thumb. Ellie Andrews(Claudette Colbert) is running away(like she is so good at) from her rich father and on the way meets roughed-up newsman Peter Warne(Clark Gable). Similar to many films at the time, but this one stands the test of time better then most, the witty dialogue is still cunning and smart. Not to mention Claudette and Clark have brilliant chemistry, especially in the scene where they ...             Imitation of Life (Two Movie Collection) 1934/195971 reviews Claudette Colbert, Warren William Universal Studios, 2004 be yourself we are who we are !!!!!the movie helped my students with peer pressure don't change to fit in be your self             The Cecil B. DeMille Collection (Cleopatra/ The Crusades/ Four Frightened People/ Sign of the Cross/ Union ...21 reviews Cecil B. DeMille, Loretta Young Universal Studios, 2006 Epics on an Epic Scale The movie that made me want to buy this collection was "Cleopatra" with Claudette Colbert as a kind of "flapper queen of Egypt" which to me has always been a great hoot. While these are not the sorts of movies I would use to illustrate a particular historical epoch due to their accuracy, I would show them if I wanted to entertain someone. The Crusades is a good example with its characterization ...             Eclipse Series 8 - Lubitsch Musicals (The Love Parade / The Smiling Lieutenant / One Hour with You / Monte ...11 reviews Jeanette MacDonald, Maurice Chevalier Criterion Collection, 2008 Naughty innuendo, skimpy lingerie and lots of bedrooms. These four Lubitsch films are a delight "Shall I see you again?" asks Lieutenant Niki von Preyn (Maurice Chevalier). "Oh, I hope so," says Franzi (Claudette Colbert), the luscious and liberated young violinist and leader of an all-girl orchestra in Vienna. Niki met her an hour or so ago at an outdoor biergarten. "When" "Well, perhaps tomorrow night. We could have dinner together," she says "Ohhh...don't make me wait 24 hours. I'm ...             Three Came Home18 reviews Claudette Colbert, Patric Knowles Alpha Video, 2002 Great movie! All I can really say is that this was a great film. The acting is very good, the quality is good, and Claudette Colbert is superb. I would definitely recommend this to anyone who likes her acting, or is interested in WWII movies.             Since You Went Away62 reviews Claudette Colbert, Jennifer Jones MGM (Video & DVD), 2004 Another great classic I have loved this movie since I was a kid watching the Million Dollar Movie. If you like old movies & appreciate great film making try this one.             The Palm Beach Story39 reviews Claudette Colbert, Joel McCrea Universal Studios, 2005 "Useless wife" in demand (recommended) Penniless Geraldine "Gerry" Jeffers (Claudette Colbert), knows how far her good looks can take her in the world. She loves her husband, Tom Jeffers (Joel McCrea) but doesn't like being poor and he is unwilling to pimp her innocent feminine wiles. The solution? Leaving her husband for Palm Beach to file for a divorce with nothing more than the clothes on her back, she becomes one of the world's ...             Drums Along the Mohawk63 reviews Claudette Colbert, Henry Fonda 20th Century Fox, 2005 John Ford and the American Revolution Based on Walter D. Edmonds' historical novel, "Drums Along the Mohawk" (1939) remains among the few memorable films about the American Revolution. Director John Ford's first Technicolor production benefits immeasurably from the Oscar-nominated cinematography of Bert Glennon and Ray Rennahan. Though episodic and slow moving in its narrative structure, Ford doesn't shy away from the brutal savagery ...             Three Came Home (1950) Claudette Colbert, Patric Knowles Synergy Ent, 2007 The true story of Agnes Newton Keith's imprisonment in several Japanese prisoner-of-war camps from 1941 to the end of WWII. Separated from her husband and with a young son to care for she has many difficulties to face.             Drums Along the Mohawk63 reviews Claudette Colbert, Henry Fonda John Ford and the American Revolution Based on Walter D.

Even if you're too young to remember all the actors it's a great light comedy fit for the entire family. There's also an optional commentary by Robert Wagner who appears in the film. Nice, light, funny movie.             Women of Courage (If Tomorrow Comes/Becky Sharp/Rain /The Green Promise/Nurse Edith Cavell/Two Women/Smash ... Women of Courage, Patty Duke St. Clair Entertainment Group, Inc, 2005             Fabulous Versailles (Royal Affairs In Versailles) (1954-France)2 reviews Orson Welles, Claudette Colbert France, 2007 A beautiful and easy discover of French monarchy This film is a treasure.

It is a great classic film mainly about a group of women kept in a Japanese concentration camp. Made a few years after the war ended, America was embracing stories like this, about people that lived such experiences. Some of the acting is dated but Colbert is great and the supporting cast is too.             Boom Town12 reviews Clark Gable, Spencer Tracy Warner Home Video, 2006 Update for the Boom Town DVD by Rags to Riches Reviewer The new DVD sharpens the film up considerably. The Theatrical Trailer is included along with a cartoon and Hollywood short that don't have much of anything to do with this great film. As before, I mentioned that I had hoped that all the film would be put back together and although this is a little better there is still some cutting, including the Oklahoma Indian Land Deal Peace Pipe smoking scene ...             Without Reservations4 reviews John Wayne, Claudette Colbert Turner Home Ent, 2007 A wonderful and entertaining film! I would highly recommend this film to anyone. It's funny romantic, and a very entertaining story starring John Wayne and Claudette Colbert. They both make a great pair in the film. It's a real classic.             I Cover the Waterfront3 reviews Ben Lyon, Claudette Colbert Alpha Video, 2004 Stylish Pre-code Classic "I'll be seein' you." -- Ben Lyon "You've seen enough of me already." -- Claudette Colbert Everything about this pre-code film from 1933 is stylish, including a lovely Claudette Colbert and Ben Lyon in one of his best roles. Director James Cruz and photographer Ray June used a lens wipe technique to transition from scene to scene and the harbor is beautifully shot.
