Smartly Played Star Turns and Agatha Christie's Plot Twists Elevate Wilder's Witty Courtroom Drama
A labyrinth of deception is expected in an Agatha Christie mystery, and those unfamiliar with Billy Wilder's 1957 adaptation of the venerable writer's classic courtroom drama are in for a treat. Even if you already know how it all ends, there are still joys to be had from the star-studded cast and the master filmmaker's craftsmanship. Along with fellow screenwriters Larry Marcus and Harry ...

Love and Passion in the 1980s: Enter the Spectre
Les Témoins (The Witnesses) is another fine artwork by French director André Téchiné that continues to examine relationships in times of stress and through areas of rough travel. As written by Téchiné, Laurent Guyot, and Viviane Zingg this film is a love story and a social commentary on life in 1984 when AIDS raised its ugly head and disrupted lives, hopes and relationships. What could have ...

Where ignorance is bliss
'T'is folly to be wise. Blissful ignorance was certainly an advantage in post-World War II Hungary during the regime of Matyas Rakosi. Rakosi, in his dual capacity as General Secretary of the Communist Party and Prime Minister of Hungary, did not take kindly to dissent or independent thought. Rakosi often described himself as "Stalin's best Hungarian disciple". Like Stalin, Rakosi liked to ...

perfect balance
I watched this for the umpteenth time while exercising. Let me tell you, it was effective. Between taking my mind off what I was doing, and raising my adrenaline levels, it made for some intense workouts. It was based on the TV series, which I never saw, so I don't have a basis for comparison. The plot is fairly simple. Vascular surgeon Dr. Richard Kimball (Harrison Ford) returns home and ...

I purchased it as a gift to my friend of 43 years because she has no idea of what Amish is. I watched that movie ten times before. I love Harrison Ford, I love everything about Amish. Delivery couldn't have been better: the package is neat and safe, extremely fast. Thanks.

Ultimately About Hope
Vinko Bresnan's 3rd film, "Witnesses," is an intense subtitled treat. The action proceeds by replaying scenes with increasingly more information from different points of view until the entire story is told. It's shot almost entirely in green and somber tones with the one splash of red coming at the end on the coat of the little girl. Mirjana Karanovic who has at least 13 films to her credit ...

Powerful
Human rights can be so easily manipulated as this film proves. Solid writing from Robert Ozn and Colin Greene mixed with the directing prowess of Rowdy Herrington make this a gripping, tense and uplifting experience. A definite must-see.

I liked this movie as much now as I did when I originally watched it. I purchased it to watch with my daughter and she too enjoyed it. I think that Harrison Ford did an excellent job.

Not on DVD!!!!!!! What!!!!!
I cant believe this movie is just going to be released on DVD, what a shame. It should have been released a long time ago as far Im concerned. This one of the best Mob movies ever right in between Godfather and Goodfellows and Donnie Brasco. What really dissapoints me that it is going to be released in full screen, who ever is putting this out should really consider a wide screen format. Tom ...

Tense and gritty little thriller.
Mute Witness was a great surprise, I didn't expect this film to turn out to be this good at first I thought it would like a dull slasher wannabe with the way the film start off but then it obviously wasn't since it took place in a movie studio or an old factory in Russia used to shoot a slasher film. This film has all kinds of surprises and some really tense moments to it, having a mute as the ...

Mysteries like you've never seen!
Chief Superintendent Adam Dalgliesh of Scotland Yard is my all time favorite tv detective. The video looks dated, but the stories are great. These mysteries keep you guessing untill the last minute. You better hit the pause key if you leave the room for a minute or ypu'll miss a vital clue... they are very subtle (Unlike some modern mysteries that give you everything in the first few minutes of ...

Diana's documentary!
Im glad I got this DVD-It gives an general idea on what might have or did happen on that horrible night of her accident! It did shed some light on how the driver was drunk and his blood alcohol level was three times the legal limit allowed to drive and the tabloids refusing to back off! Honestly, my guess it was a combination of these two that caused her death because I feel if Diana knew the ...

Transition into the witness protection program isn't easy
This 1992 HBO film dealt with a subject that has always fascinated me and yet I knew little about. What happens to a family that goes into the witness protection program? What kind of problems do they face? And how, exactly, does the transformation work. This film attempts to answer some of these questions. And, if the characters are a little larger than life, and the story sometimes dips to ...

One of the Most Important Films I Have Ever Seen.
There are other reviews of this film on the VHS version's page. They are not on the DVD version's page, for some reason. If you want to read those reviews, you can look up the VHS version of The Witness here on Amazon and read them. Anyway, the film is about how a former self-centered "tough guy" from a violent Brooklyn neighborhood straightened out his life and began dedicating his life to ...

Marvelous!
I am so glad to see this on DVD, and those who have it on VHS will be surprised--it looks fantastic! You'd never know this was done in 1972. The picture is crisp and clear, even when switching from video to film (a common practice in those days--film outdoors, and videotape indoors). The sound level is a bit low, but it is not a problem--turning up the volume does not distort the sound in any ...

A Pleasant Surprise from an Unpleasant Movie
Given the resources, this was an outstanding, surprisingly well-made film. Borkowski is not only impressive in his portrayal of the serial killer- who is actually more level-headed and logical than all the other characters around him- but he (along with Thomas C. Dunn) also wrote the story. Also noteworthy is the inclusion of the realistic profile that killers could be people who do ...

The Definite Biography of John Paul II
This is absolutely the BEST biography out there on John Paul II. Unlike those by A & E or NBC or the like, it is simply based on the facts. Many of the other "biographies" have sections in them based on the agenda of the filmmaker. Usually taking the position of admonishment against the Pope for not being a liberal American. This one is just the opposite. It deals with John Paul II with no ...
