Sinbad the Sailor16 reviews
Sweet Adventure and Exotica in Thecnicolor
+ Very good
+ Classic Sinbad
Nothing except the shine of polyester can be as explosive on the retina than Tecnicolor blue. This is the first color we see in this swashbuckling adventure movie all over the expanse of the sea, like a saphire-acid rug. It really is a very appropriate hallucinogenic coloring for this totally ...

Beatiful music
+ teen girls' fantasy
+ Linda Darnell was a beauty
I really enjoyed the film, though having not read the book feel unqualified to make comments about the screenplay. But as a professional musician I feel that I must comment on the music by Raksin which is the finest example of original romantic film scoring I have ever heard, helped by some sublime ...

Lady in the Lake [VHS] 13 reviews
Robert Montgomery, Audrey Totter
MGM (Warner), 1998
Wow -- What a bunch of cranks!!
I'm thinking the folks who write the reviews take themselves a little too seriously...
This is my favorite Christmas movie--much more action than, say "Miracle on 34th Street."
All kidding aside the movie is great fun, the camera technique an interesting approach, and Audrey Totter is ...

Song of the Thin Man [VHS]19 reviews
William Powell, Myrna Loy
MGM (Warner), 1998
Do you like Keenan Wynn?
+ "Mrs. Charles Always Wears Her Mouth Open with This Outfit."
+ "That's an old saying I just made up."
A must have if you already own the other Thin Man movies and are a fan of William Powell and Myrna Loy. Keenan Wynn is the treat in this movie. Without his performance the movie would not hold up. What a great actor he was. In my opinion he steals the show.

The Paradine Case21 reviews
Gregory Peck, Ann Todd
Starz / Anchor Bay, 1999
You can see that Hitchcock formula and well done too.
+ "Keane" on winning the case AND the client
+ Long Overdue Recognition
The movie is very proud to be a David O. Selznick film and displays it proudly at the beginning.
This is one of those movies where you go "yeah yeah" I saw before. You are probably thinking of Richard Attenborough's " Trial and Error" (1962) or Billy Wilder's "Witness for the Prosecution" ...
