Quirkyand Cute- I love it
I love this movie because it is so different yet totally captivating and funny. The Paris backdrop is genius and the costumes and hair are fantastic, but what makes the film most interesting is just how random and fun it is. It's not a movie where you observe the acting or study the plot, because there hardly is one here, but it's a nice break from the more "civilized" comedies of the era. ...

Witness for the Prosecution
I first saw this movie a long time ago....and when it was on PBS recently I knew I had to have a copy in my personal library. I am so glad I was able to purchase this and to share it with so many people who will appreciate an engrossing thriller and wonderful acting...which is unfortunately missing in so many of the films today.

Good quality for a great price
I was suspicious of the 3 DVD package at first - thinking that the quality would be lacking. However, I was pleasantly surprised that all the films were from very good quality prints. The package is clearly worth double the price. It's true - there are no extras, but that doesn't bother me. This is a great value for outstanding entertainment & a must have for any Marlana Dietrich fan! Now, if ...

A stunning portrait of corruption and abuse of power.
Touch of Evil was an excellent black and white classic noir film by Orson Welles. I heard about how great this film was and how it had the best cinematography and lighting in any film ever made and yes they weren't kidding. Off course this film from every technical aspect whether it was the acting or the direction or the great script and fantastic storyline was just perfect but the only slight ...

John Wayne is awesome
There's only one thing you need to know to understand how awesome John Wayne is: there are not one, but TWO different movies where he fights a giant octopus. One of them is in this set--Reap the Wild Wind (the other is Wake of the Red Witch, another great movie, however not included in this set). And one of my all time favorite movie fist-fights is in The Spoilers, between Wayne & Randolph ...

"I Love Ya, Cash - So Help Me I Love Ya!"
This one gets five stars based upon one film in the collection: "Pittsburgh." To me, Wayne's portrayal of "Pitt" Markham has always exemplified his swaggering, brash, chip-on-the-shoulder, on-screen persona that over a long career came to represent America itself. The character's progression from a young, self-centered, win-at-all-costs industrialist to that of a humiliated factory worker and ...

Amazing collection
Get this one while you can, I've read recently that they are discontinuing the signature collections by Warner Bros. This is by far the best collection of films on the signature series. Hitchcock is still the master of suspense!

Judgment at Nuremberg

Spencer Tracy, Burt Lancaster

MGM (Video & DVD), 2004

A Real Must-See Movie
You really must see this, both for its historical content and its entertainment value. Surprisingly, it wasn't all that depressing. For one thing, this was the trial of four Nazi judges. The big guys had already been tried. But as Judge Haywood (Spencer Tracy) pointed out, they were effectively giving the color of law to atrocities. At the very end, one of the defendants, Ernst Yanning (Burt ...

Aligned Stars in Vocal Heaven
Can a line up of super star singers come together and create a lasting, meaningful production? Well, the singing is just about perfect: Freni is a surprisingly great fit for Susanna (her versatility is astonishing), and even the relatively newcomer (for a 1976 film) Maria Ewing is a delight; the others, Fischer-Dieskau, Prey, Te Kanawa, and even the supporting characters all sing w/ the most ...

Captures Jimmy Stewart in top form
By the time James Stewart returned from World War II he was a changed man. The horrors that he witnessed in the war almost made him give up acting because he thought it might be too trivial a profession. Luckily for us he didn't. Ironically, it deepened his art as an actor and this terrific boxed set has five of Stewart's greatest movies with four from the latter part of his career and one early ...

Penn and Teller have a fantastic show!
Penn and Teller's BS is one of my favorite shows on television. They cover everything from religion and politics to circumcision and Mount Rushmore. Every episode teaches me something new and interesting, and is absolutely hillarious in the process.

A Glimpse into Hitler's Germany
This is a fascinating document that left me wanting more, more footage, more singing, background. Lorenz was a fascinating complex man who in spite of being married to a Jew and a practicing "bi-sexual" he was able to remain in Nazi Germany without any persecution to him, his wife and his mother-in-law! He was apparently caught "in flagrante" and his crimianal prosecution was announced. Obviously ...

Adolf Hitler, Hermann Göring

Synapse Films, 2006

Propoganda never looked so beautiful.
Triumph of the Will is not a German WWII action documentary. What it is - is cinematic art. Propoganda never looked so beautiful. Most people agree Adolf Hitler was the 20th century's greatest villian. But for a brief period in history, Hitler was the face of hope to many Germans. Not above a little self promotion, Hitler recognized early on the value of cinema. He hand selected Leni ...

My Favorite Musical
When Jeckyl and Hyde was on Broadway in NYC, I went to NYC 8 times (from CT) to see it. I also have to confess that I cried when I heard the show was ending. This DVD is so terrific ! David Hasselhoff plays Jeckyl and Hyde and altho he can act, he can't sing.However, his performance doesn't detract from the overall DVD experience. I LOVE the story, the music, the special effects and the ...
