believe it or not
When I first saw this movie on a small grainy tv in the 60's didn't have a opinion about an old "english" movie. I saw it again in the 90's,I was impressed how much the movie changed, certainly wasn't me.This movie captured the feeling of my family and being a young child in a large family during WW2,it brings back a lot of fond memories. Sometime later I saw r.mcdowell on tv,possibly tcm,he told ...

Barbra was born to play Fanny Brice!
Based somewhat loosely on the life of Fanny Brice, a Jewish comedienne and actress from the Lower East Side of Manhattan (actually Henry Street), this movie is a reflection of her life with Oscar Barbra Streisand in the title role. Streisand is perfect in this performance as the self-conscious Fanny Brice who makes fun of her own appearance as we see in her debut with the Ziegfield Follies. ...

interesting propaganda
In my title, I use the word "propaganda"; however, it is not intended to be a negative description of the film or its content. Instead, what I am trying to convey, is that this film, like so many others, which were released during the Second World War, were intended to rally the allies in their fight against the onslaught of facism in Nazi Germany. From a dramatic point of view, the film ...

I always loved Robbie
Leslie Nielsen before he took on comedy. Walter Pigeon is most believable as the villain. You have to have this one in your collection if for no other reason than Robbie the robot! Imagine a robot that can produce everything from a ball gown to 100 proof booze-obviously what killed the Krell!

how to write a great film
pay attention budding young screenwriters to films such as this and others from decades past . how did they manage to write great film with mature themes for general audiences ? they made it too smart for people of a certain age to be interested but conveyed all the same stuff a current film would need an R to achieve . this would earn a PG today . if that . but it's so good and worldly and ...

TCM Sci-Fi collection
TCM's Sci-Fi collection is truly great collection of four films. "2001: A Space Odyssey" is one of the all-time great films. A very interesting film about a flight to the Saturn system, the discovery of a simple black slab on the moon and the insanity of a computer! You have to watch this film to appreciate it. No words can explain it. "Soylent Green" is food. A very unusual film. Quite ...

We love Cinderella because we remember it so fondly
As I was going thru over 200 reviews of the classic, it struck me that most of them were from people who had seen the original broadcast in 1965 and the story, songs and actors stuck with them...I'm sure Hollywood wishes all their movies did that the way this Cinderalla has done for all of us. It was never about the best sets, most well known actors or updating a plot that has stood the test of ...

"a fella doesn't get any place unless he tries"
This was director Raoul Walsh's second film with Wayne as the male lead. The first, "The Big Trail", was Wayne's first big film role, having just acquired his new stage name. Unfortunately, this very expensive film, as one of the first talkie westerns, was a box office bomb, with Wayne unfairly shouldering most of the blame. The present film is a mixed western-Civil War drama set in bleeding ...

"Mrs. Parkington"
This was one of the great movies of the 1940's, and very good movie, with a host of actors of the early years of movies.

There will always be an England.
I find World War II movies about the home front more interesting than actual battle scene flicks. More people can relate to the experience than the small percentage of soldiers that actually saw combat. There are some really fine movies such as "Since You Went Away", "Tender Comrade" & the essential "Best Years of Our Life", actually made in 1946. Mrs Miniver from 1942 was one of the first of ...

FORD AT FOX A VALUABLE CONTRIBUTION TO FILM "LITERATURE"
Congratulate Fox on separating their enormous full collection of Ford's work at the studio with three smaller but potent boxes: The Classics, The Silents, and The Comedies. Although these classics have already been issued, the addition of 1939's "Frontier Marshall," which was the precursor to "My Darling Clementine," in a beautifully remastered version, and the documentary "Becoming John Ford" ...

Straight forward very real .
If you like the no nonsense adult kind of interaction that real war time situations command...This is the movie for you. Great acting, true insite to some of wartimes hypocricy, and a understanding how sometimes you have to push back your feelings to get the job done. Lots of politics mixed with death. I loved the comparison of the ME-262 German jet with the American and British piston ...

An unappreciated Comden & Green gem
This is not your typical MGM musical, and that's good for all of us. What sets it apart is the way authors Betty Comden and Adolph Green have shaped the characters. These are not perfect, starry-eyed lovers. These are complicated people who have suffered life's disappointments and are forced to grapple with them. They are downcast and frequently bad-tempered. I can't think of an earlier musical ...

My Favorite Film of my Childhood
This was my favorite film of my childhood, I still have a great deal of affection for it. My father took me to see it when I was eleven and it absolutely blew me away, it was to me what Star Wars was to the next generation. I immediately started hitting every book store and department store I could find to locate the novelization (which I eventualy found in a small bookstore on Flatbush Avenue ...

Greer Garson is always so Inspiring!
I have three must have/see Greer Garson films and they are Madame Curie, Mrs. Miniver & Random Harvest! The first two movies paired her with Walter Pidgeon and their on screen chemistry was so good that people thought they were really married! This is a Classic in every since but as a film to inspire little girls in to science it is unbeatable! Just like the real life Amelia Earhart story it ...

For Political Junkies & Conspriracy Buffs
This is a very long film, but it was so good that I didn't have to use the Fast Forward button at all. In a weird way it seems to promote McCarthyism, anti-gay stereotypes and Southern recalcitrance. Yet, it still has enought great stars, fine acting and suspense to carry the day. The book was a sensation when it first came out and the movie does a good job of conveying that excitement. Highly ...
