The Older Version is the Better Choice
Clifton Webb was most often case in dramatic roles. In ""Cheaper by the Dozen"" we get to see Webb in his comedic best. The original version of this film surpasses the newer one for many reasons: 1)the adults in the original had a wisdom and dignity sadly lacking in the modern setting, 2)the work ethic of the Gilbreth children is enchanting in the original, and, finally, 3) touching on the ...

Myrna and William box set
I've only had the chance to see one of the movies in the box set, which is Manhatan Melodrama. Very good movie, good performances. If you love Myrna and William, then it's a sure must have. The box contains comedy, melodrama and thriller with one of the screen's most celebrated couple of actors. Don't miss it, as the movies are very rare!

cheaper by the dozen
A delightful true story of the Gilbreath family. And how zany and crazy life can be in a family with 12 children.

Before the movie, before the screenplay, a book-length poem
Many viewers of this great American movie -- it won seven Oscars, including Best Picture, for 1946 -- are unaware that it was based on a most unusual book-length narrative poem by MacKinlay Kantor, "Glory for Me," published in 1945. In 1970, I was a lieutenant working at the Air Force Historical Research Center. The older historians told a word-of-mouth story how the book and the movie came to ...

FUNNY MOVIE
The movie is terrific. Loy and Grant seem so comfortable together. I noticed an example of this. In the nightclub scene when they are dancing Grant states, "My father was a bachelor..." Loy then says that's nice or that interesting. I think she cut his line off because Grant laughs and adlibs, "Wait let me finish." If you look at Loy she smiles and looks off camera. As the dance moves her ...

classic, family fun
Love the old black and whites and I always enjoy this one. I love having films like this on hand for movie night with my neices. Introduces them to another time and place and no worry about inappropriate language, sex and violence, good clean humor. So funny to think Cary Grant's character felt sorry for the poor guy not fortunate enough to earn $15,000 a year, and Myrna Loy's scene with the ...

Thin Man Series is not Tinny
Have always been a fan the Thin Man and this collection has it all. I viewed the films in chronological order purposely to notice the changes in quips between the two . They were more witty and sophisticated with each film. To tell you a secret, I really never cared for the explanation of why the killer did it but rather the scenes to catch the killer is what makes these films. Yes there is a ...

Reporter: Well, can't you tell us anything about the case? Nick Charles: Yes, it's putting me way behind in my drinking.
It is not easy to make a good comedy or a good mystery but to combine two genres together and make Comedy / Crime / Mystery as sparkling, funny, elegant and dynamic as 93 minutes long "The Thin Man" (1934) directed by W.S. Van Dyke is incredibly marvelous. The film owes a lot of its charm to the great working chemistry between two main characters, the husband and wife sleuths, Nora and Nick ...

The Great Ziegfeld
Top MGM musical recreates the glory days of the musical theatre, before movies overtook Broadway as our primary form of entertainment. The ever-charming, debonair Powell is perfect casting for Zeigfeld, and frequent co-star Myrna Loy is also on hand playing second wife Billie Burke. Winner of that year's Best Picture Oscar, Luise Rainer also won a statuette for her portrayal of "Ziggy"'s first ...

A Landmark Musical
Another perfect film is now readily available on DVD. This film is widely recognised as one of the best musicals ever. It combines a superb Rodgers and Hart score with the subtle sexy humour of Ernst Lubitsch and the visual flair which Rouben Mamoulian, the director, brought to so many of his films. Maurice Chevalier plays a tailor who meets princess Jeanette MacDonald when he visits her ...

Proper Disaster Drama with Cultural Oddities and a Love Story...
The Rains Came was released the same year Gone with the Wind (1939) brought a storm of viewers to the silver screen. Unlike Gone with the Wind, which received a legendary status in the cinema history, The Rains Came only made an impact in the special effects department. The special effects are rather amazing, even today many viewers will drop their jaws, as they ponder the age of the film and ...

Outrageously Funny!
This is another great screwball comedy (1936) set during the great depression, casting some of the best performers of that time. Having nominated by the Academy in the best picture category, the movie is riveting and you will be glued from beginning to end due to the offbeat nature of the comedy. The story is a pure farce comedy, when the daughter of an aristocratic family Connie Allenbury (Myrna ...

"Baby, you've arrived!"
The most fun and sophisticated series in the history of film continued with Maj. W.S. Van Dyke's 1941 entry, Shadow of the Thin Man. William Powell was back, of course, as Dashiell Hammett's greatest creation, Nick Charles. Myrna Loy was back as his better half, and needless to say a shaker of martinis and a lot of witty banter was sure to follow as Nick and Nora got involved in yet another ...

A sequel that matches the original.
W.S. Van Dyke's "After the Thin Man," the first of five sequels to the original "Thin Man," is the best of the five and the only one that truly matched the consistent thrills and sprightly fun of the original. It picks up where the first movie left off, as Nick (William Powell) and Nora (Myrna Loy) come home to San Francisco from New York, where they receive a less-than-warm welcome from Nora's ...

I have watch this movie over and over again, and each time I view it, I find it more enjoyable as ever. This movie is about misunderstanding between husband and wife, which is cause by other individual plant seeds of doubt in the ears of a loving wife, about her husband relationship with his secretary. Of course, nothing is going on between the business man and his secretary, but the wife ...

Beautiful and touching
Excellent screen version of John Steinbeck's short novel, with effective and renowned Aaron Copeland score to match. It's more than just a story about a boy and his love for his pony that gets sick and dies; it's about life and fitting in, about who we are and how we choose to be accepted. Everyone does a fine job on the screen. Best perhaps is Louis Calhern as Grandpa, who once led a wagon train ...
