60 Minutes - On The Waterfront (February 26, 2006)

CBS, 2006

When a Dubai company was given the rights to operate facilities at six American seaports, it touched off a firestorm of debate in Congress. But this may be the least of the problems America faces on its waterfront. U.S. Customs can only inspect a very small percentage of the six million cargo containers that come into the U.S. each year. Some experts fear that the most likely way a nuclear device or dirty bomb could come into this country would ...

Boomerang (Fox Film Noir)

7 reviews

Fox, 2006

Solid Murder Drama
This is another of the great Film Noirs from the vaults of 20th Century Fox. Made in 1947 "Boomerang" was the brainchild of the talented producer Louis deRochemont who began to bring a new semi-documentary style of picture making to cinema. He strove to give a more realistic look to films by shooting in actual locations and eschewing the phony indoor exteriors offered by the studios. ...

Excellent DVD Quality Worthy of This Masterpiece
I am fully satisfied with the quality of the DVD. The digital remastering was also excellent. I would advise anyone seeking a DVD of this film to purchase this copy. You will not be disappointed. As for the film itself, I believe that it is self-explanatory, absolute genius. It is my contention that this is Marlon Brando's finest performance. This film also has Anthony Quinn's finest Academy ...

A Streetcar Named Desire (Two-Disc Special Edition)

Vivien Leigh, Marlon Brando

Warner Home Video, 2006

Funny, heartbreaking and moving -- "Streetcar" is a classic.
After seeing a performance of Tennessee Williams' gripping play "A Streetcar Named Desire" at a local event, I immediately bought the award-winning film. I was unsure how a brutally powerful story about the demise of one woman's reputation could be translated into a film, but I was not disappointed. This two-disc set restores some of the "objectionable content" that almost derailed the film's ...

James Galway: Live at the Waterfront in Belfast
Rimsky-Korsakov, James Galway

KULTUR VIDEO, 2008

He s been called a pied piper and a pop musician par excellence. Yet Ireland's James Galway, the world's favorite flutist, insists that he is first and foremost a serious musician. He won many scholarships before becoming the Berlin Philharmonic's principal flutist in 1969. He went solo in 1975 and was instantly successful as a live performer and a recording artist. In 1978, his version of John Denver's Annie's Song became an international hit ...

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. Based on Max Miller's ...

Martin Balsam, Don Blackman

Sony Pictures, 2001

A film of major social importance; not to mention utterly fascinating to watch...
A staple for any fan of Marlon Brando, `On the Waterfront' is much more than a showcase for the actor's immense talent. No, `On the Waterfront' is a brilliant study of oppression, power and the struggle for control, not of others but of ones self. Sure, Brando delivers one of the finest performances of his career, but even with his dynamic performance stripped from the films core we are still ...

Sony Pictures, 2004

One of the best double packs around
Unlike a lot of other bundles around, this one is actually worthwhile. Say what you like about Brando, but there was a time when he was doing something with acting that has rarely been seen since. I believe the reason Brando was so good in those early years was because he was just so excited by the possibilities and of his own talent. But the problem with genius is it soon gets bored.. ...

Poorly Titled But Good DVD
What the title of this DVD should make clear is that ALL of the footage comes from New York State. That doesn't bother me since I was born and raised in New York, but if you are not interested in New York, this DVD may not be for you. The best clips are of Niagra Falls and of the early growth of Coney Island - which was a much different place 50 years ago. The New York Docks scenes reminded me ...

It's All About The Girl
This would be a typical crime/wrong man accused film except for one thing - Anne Rutherford. I'm not sure why this lady did not become a big star. She should have. To be honest I think she is the hottest actress I've seen in a wrong time. I could not keep my eyes off hte screen when she was on. She is very, very beautiful and her acting was decent as well. The film itself follows the ...
