Fred Astaire, Leslie Caron

20th Century Fox, 1993

Song and dance
The narrative, musical expression, and dance numbers in the movie Daddy Long Legs are sweet and moving (Daddy Long Legs). The transfer to DVD is quite good. It is a movie to be cherished and enjoyed for there is little chance that this movie genre will ever return.

Innocence; no kiddieporn
Reading the "review" by Dan of a few days ago, I am reminded of the patient who was shown a series of inkblots in a Rorschach test. On being asked what the first reminded him of, he responded, "Sex." On the second, he said, "Sex." On the third and fourth he said the same thing. The psychiatrist asked, "Does everything remind you of sex?" The patient responded, "Hey, don't blame me--you're the one ...

Promise Her Anything [VHS]

Warren Beatty, Leslie Caron

Paramount, 1998

Best movie ever
My roommate and I watched this movie at four in the morning one night and absolutely loved it. The baby was so adorable and Warren Beatty was hilarious. I could watch this movie over and over again and never get sick of it. I recommend this movie to all insomniacs and cheesy-but-good movie lovers.

Jeremy Irons, Juliette Binoche

New Line Home Video, 1997

great psychodrama of forbidden passion and self-destruction
This is a movie for the middle aged: after a successful career and the nurture of a perfect family, a man chucks it all for the wrong woman. He is exhausted from his idyllic life and meaningful career, seeking a way out, and finds it. Everyone loses. The story unfolds in absolutely horrific fashion, complete with the graphic portrayal of the passion that becomes the only thing at the center ...

MGM (Warner), 1994

the perfect use of the Emotionally Distant Paramour as Hot Stuff
The emotionally distant beau who silently seethes for you is a big moneymaker. Look at the success of Robert Pattinson in Twilight. But it's complete b.s. because if someone acted like that in real life, you'd be sending them away with your silently seething ill wishes. But oh, oh, oh, Mel Ferrer and his perfectly displayed physique allegedly "hates [his] body" because fighting off the Germans ...

One of Danielle Steele's best!!
This story held me captive until I watched the whole thing and I loved it!!! I am a huge fan of D. Steele, and this one really was great. A terrific story for any age, and history lesson to boot, which is always a trademark of Danielle's!!! She tells it so well!!

Come on in, the picture's fine!
I've just seen this movie, & the picture quality is just fine. As a matter of fact, I would say it looks great, which is saying a lot since this is from Republic pictures(by the way, I'm talking about how it looks on a large lcd flat screen tv, not a 25 inch picture-tube model). Yes, there will always be people who want a near photo quality resolution from 2 inches away...just step back a couple ...

"...to see the isles beneath the wind..."
The story opens amid the noisy fish stalls and bars of Marseille, where we meet 18-year old Fanny (Leslie Caron) who has been in love with Marius (Horst Buchholz) all her life. He loves her, too, but he dreams of running away on a sailing ship. The night before he is to leave, he and Fanny profess their love for each other. Will he stay with her or go to sea? What a wonderful movie! I ...

Rudolf Nureyev, Leslie Caron

MGM/UA Home Video, 1998

Like Sextette....
it may be a 5 or just a 1.... it all depends on your taste, humour and love of movie nostalgia.... They(the cast) all give camp performances, but the "storyboard" sitting between Leslie, Michelle og Rudolf and "the wedding" of Leslie and Michelle at his funeral are definate highlights.... The dance bewteen Valentino and Nijinski is never to be forgotten... But.... Nereyevs diction leaves ...

Leslie Caron, Michael Wilding

MGM (Warner), 1994

Cinderella With Heart!
"The Glass Slipper" is a modern interpretation of the classic fairy tale. And it's a good one. Leslie Caron is cast as Ella, a girl almost destroyed by the death of her mother and the lack of understanding shown her by her insensitive stepmother (Elsa Lanchester) and haughty stepsisters ("Gunsmoke's" Amanda Blake, and Lisa Daniels.) The local villagers are likewise indifferent to her, and (as ...

TV classic
I first watched this mini series back in the 70's and enjoyed it. When it became available on DVD I knew it would be a welcome addition to my collection. A stellar cast many of whom are no longer with us (the beautiful Lee Remick, Jack Hawkins just to name two), bring this story of the Holocaust and its survivors to life seen through the eyes of the two protagonists in a libel trial. ...

The longterm effects of war
I saw this series on PBS several years ago. It is one that I still remember. The series provided an overview of WWI including the factors leading to the start of the war to the effects of the war on people and events of the 20th and 21st centuries. Some of the events of this war are still affecting the foreign policy of the current time. The pictures are graphic, but so are any available ...

Judi Dench, Ian Holm

Hbo Home Video, 2001

An unsung gem
Wonderful movie (not given wide release or publicity) about growing older, being yourself and having fun at it. The acting by all the cast members is top drawer, especially (of course) Dame Judi Dench and it was so nice to see Leslie Caron and Cleo Laine again. I have watched the movie several times and I never fail to enjoy myself immensely. My late husband also liked it very much though he ...

To anyone who doesn't 'get' FUNNY BONES
If FUNNY BONES (1995) left you puzzled or disappointed, this is offered as an attempt to clarify what may be one of the greatest "overlooked" movies of all times. First, you either love or hate this film; there's no middle ground. That's clear just from the dozens of posted reviews on it. Here's what I take from this picture beyond the basic plot. We the audience are given a chance to visit ...

Jean-Paul Belmondo, Charles Boyer

Paramount, 1998

Is Paris Burning? No, and Never Will!
"Is Paris burning?", this dreadful question was put by Hitler himself to the German commander of Paris and closes the film's story. It anticipated the mad politic he will follow in the last year of WWII: burn it all, destroy it all (enemy or German alike). The fate Paris eluded, occurred to Warsaw, when the Soviet "liberators" decided to stop their march towards Germany, allowing the Nazis to ...

excellent film transfer
This Blu-Ray disc features an excellent transfer of "An American in Paris". It should be pointed out that this movie was shot prior to the onset of widescreen and cinemascope, and is presented in the original academy format, 1.37:1 aspect ratio.
