Many Rivers to Cross - DVD
Wonderful family movie, even my teen and early twenty year old grandchildren enjoyed it - I saw it in the theater as a child many years ago and I have been looking for the DVD for several years. Thanks so much for stocking it.

Deserves 1 star. and 5 stars
After reading the other amazon reviews, posted as 1 star, you notice a lot of these people are right. This movie has A LOT of violence in it! Horse abuse, guns, fires etc.. I am an animal rights activist, and love this movie, it really does show how horses are treated in some areas, but some people get the impression that white people are all bad, and the Indian isen't. Well...its just a ...

The Stalking Moon
This is a cracking litle Western. I sat through it twice when it first came out in 1968/9. You can feel yourself digging deeper into your seat in scenes where Salvaje is either immenent or on screen. Peck unplays the scout who reluctantly takes on the woman and her son unkowing of their true situation. Scenes involving him and the lovely Eva Marie Saint are played low key yet are suffused with ...

The Art of Leadership
A great story on the type of man who can lead, and the many types of men who cannot. A previous reviewer mentioned Robert Ryan as one of the actors in this film. Actually, he's not in it.

I'd hate being in THIS Navy
What more can I say about this classic film? It is simply one of the best sea epics and even more so because it's relatively factual about a brutal sea captain of the British Navy. The acting, direction, art direction are all excellent. While mutiny is usually not a good thing, the true story guides the viewer to understand why Mr. Christian felt that he had no choice. And for this choice, he and ...

All Quiet on the Western Front (Universal Cinema Classics)

An Historical Icon
This is a 1930 film production, faithfully based on Eric Marie Remarque's WWI novel by the same title. Considering the infancy of talkie film making when this was created, it is an absolutely remarkable piece. Many of the battle scene techniques have been recycled to this day. I read the novel 3 or 4 years ago, and had forgotten that it was told from the German viewpoint (such is the ...

How the West Was Won (Ultimate Collector's Edition)

Beautiful!
The Blu Ray release of How the West Was Won is by far the best version released to date. The frames are nearly perfectly aligned and synchronized. The "smile box" format is a real treat. It simulates the Cinerama theatre experience very well. The soundtrack sounds great. Blu Ray has definitely improved home theatre audio which has suffered from low resolution and high data compression with DVD. ...

Walter Brennan Stole the Show
Walter Brennan won his third Oscar for best supporting actor playing the part of "Judge" Roy Bean in The Westerner. He was made for this part like Vivien Leigh was made to play Scarlet. Anyone who remembers Brennan as "Grandpa" in The Real McCoys and in lesser roles over the years, and has any interest in the early westerns, will be captivated by Brennan's portrayal of this dusty, ...

Our thanks to Universal...for Great Western fare
This is volume 2 of two box sets to be released by Universal, and containing some mighty fine oaters. If past history is any guide, the transfers will excellent, the color great, and the presentation superior! THE TEXANS was one Randolph Scott's first major "A" Western roles, and while the film was criticized as a bit "wooden," it nevertheless is an entertaining film that details the great ...

Early Irene Dunne in Classic Western
This is a sprawling epic version of Edna Ferber's novel. It starts with the original Oklahoma Cimmaron land rush (1889) and ends in during the height of the oil rush (1930). This is a great movie about the a part of US history that most people have only heard breifly about. And like Ferber's more famous book Show Boat, this film takes on civil rights - this time the rights of native ...

Those men aren't going to pay ten bucks to look at your face; this is Broadway!
The Broadway Melody Of 1929 scored a coup at the box office; it was also the first "talkie" to receive the Oscar for Best Picture. This incredible film was very modern for its time even though the story today would never suffice as a movie plot. The acting is convincing; Bessie Love and Anita Page shine as the sister act Hank and Queenie Mahoney. Just one look at Charles King as Eddie Kearns ...

THE LAW OF A GREAT SCRIPT AND GOOD ACTING
The source of this very good film released through MGM on June 6, 1958, was a book written by the incomparable Marvin H. Albert. Mr. Albert has written many westerns (Clayburns) and mysteries (Lady In Cement), with many brought to film (Duel At Diablo & Tony Rome), from novels that are very near classics of the writer's art. This film was shot on location in California's High Sierra Mountain ...

Crawford Takes Her Place at the Grand Hotel
"Don't you understand? Don't you?" -- Barrymore telling Garbo he loves her. Vicki Baum's popular novel was given the MGM treatment for the first time in "Grand Hotel." Though it does not hold up as well as its remake, "Weekend at the Waldorf," due to the lack of symmetry between a director and one of the stars, the overall impact is not muted in the least. It remains an entertaining time ...
