Maurice Chevalier, Jeanette MacDonald

MGM (Warner), 1993

Jeanette MacDonald in her greatest role
THE MERRY WIDOW is arguably Jeanette MacDonald's finest film, and is still regarded as one of the greatest musicals ever made by MGM. The story concerns one widow, Sonia (Jeanette MacDonald), a beautiful young woman who owns 52% of the small kingdom of Marshovia. Sonia lives a life consisting of black dresses, black shoes, black corsets and black veils...even a black dog. Sonia decides to flee ...

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 ...

Gary Cooper, Audrey Hepburn

Ca C'est L'amour
I think "delectable" is the word we want here, though of course that description would apply to nearly every cinematic thing Audrey Hepburn ever did... I have a special fondness for romantic black and white films, and 1957's "Love in the Afternoon" is one of the very best. As stated here by other reviewers Hepburn's chemistry with the ruggeded, quintessentially American Cooper (and the ...

Paramount, 1998

a breath of scandal
A breath of scandal is an excellent movie.I looked for this movie in all the shops and could not find it. Amazon.com had it and I have been totally satisfied. Sophia Loren is excellent in this movie. It is refreshing to be able to see old movies and not have all the violence and sex that are in the movies today. Thank you for offering movies and especially old movies with class. Thank You. Freda

They don't make them like this any more..
This movie has so many fantastic people in it, Maurice Chevalier, Louis Jourdan, Frank Sinatra, Shirley MacLaine and Juliet Prowse. Such a wonderful and talanted cast. The movie came as a 2 DVD set with Lobby cards and insert. Its in excelent condition and will be taken good care of. Some movies you get a case with it and thats it. I believe this one came from a GoodWill store in Washington ...

"...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 ...

In Search of the Castaways
I love Hayley Mills movies and was delighted that I was able to get this movie on DVD. I have many of her movies on VHS and want to slowly turn those into DVDs. I would highly advise anyone who is a Hayley Mills fan to add this to your collection. Added bonus that it also has Maurice Chevalier in the movie. What more could you ask for in a good family movie.

Georges Bidault, Maurice Chevalier

Milestone Video, 2001

Fascinating film
This is a fascinating film, and one interesting thing it does is cut from the then present to the 1940s. So, for example, someone is explaining how even though they worked for the pro-Nazi Vichy government, they never realy believed in it, or took it that seriously. Then it cuts to a firebrand pro_Nazi speech they made in 1942. The people who emerged with the most integrity, were the TV ...

Well Worth Checking Out!!!!!!!!
I'll be honest. What got me watching this movie in the first place? Well, I was flipping channels and caught a quick glimpse of Jennifer Espinito, Just as if she were standing on the side of the highway hitchiking, and I slammed on the brakes to stop and pick her up, my channel surfing stopped dead right there!!!! Not expecting a hell of alot from a movie she were starring in, I decided to ...

You're the Top: Cole Porter Story [VHS]

7 reviews
Bobby Short, Richard Adler

Winstar, 1998

Perfect Documentary
If you want to know Cole Porter, this is a better introduction than the recent film effort, "De-Lovely," and far better than the old Cary Grant fiction. Both movies fudge on Cole's character, with "De-Lovely" trying to depict Porter as a guy working out his gay issues through marriage, which is total nonsense. Cole Porter was arguably the greatest of all the composers of American Standards, ...

Cantinflas, Dan Dailey

Film Mex Entertainme, 1998

The Questions of Pepe
George Sidney, one of Hollywood's most underrated directors, never made an awful film, but this one comes close, mostly due to its insufferably cloying use of Cantinflas--one of Mexico's smartest, wittiest movie stars ever--but here you'd think he was a moron, a smiling bobblehead of Mexican folk wisdom and simplicity. Indeed Cantinflas, as "Pepe," whom you might call the original "horse ...
