Deanna Durbin, Franchot Tone

Universal Studios, 1996

Delightful and Charming
This endearing film from director Frank Borzage is filled with the warmth and charm of its star, Deanna Durbin. An original screenplay fashioned for Deanna by Samuel Hoffenstein and Beth Reinhardt and a glossy production from Universal really make this one of Deanna's best films. A great cast which includes Franchot Tone, Pat O'Brien, Akim Tamiroff and Elsa Janssen lend sparkling support to ...

Unapix / a-Pix Ent., 1997

Great movie
Great movie, surprised this enver became a cult classic. Is it cheesy? Sure. Does it use nudity to keep the viewer amused? Yes. Is it funny, YOU BET! I'm sad that the DVD release of this was so limited as it would be great to have it on DVD, however I'm happy to have purchased it on VHS, when this movie was new to video stores I rented it dozens of times because I find it quite entertaining.

Saw the movie a long time ago. "America I Love You." What a great song.

Juliette Lewis, Diane Keaton

Beautiful Movie
This was a beautiful movie from beginning to end. The acting was perfection. It was happy, sad, and wonderful! I was completely involved with the story so much so that I could not stop crying at the beautiful ending.

The Sisters (1938) [VHS]

Errol Flynn, Bette Davis

MGM/UA Home Video, 1998

fine, undervalued Bette Davis vehicle
Bette Davis and Errol Flynn star in this rather undervalued 1930s drama called Sisters. The plot moves along at a good pace and the convincing acting had me every step of the way. This is one Better Davis movie that is truly worth watching; and Errol Flynn fans will want this one as well! The action starts at a ball in Silver Bow, Montana, to celebrate the election of Teddy Roosevelt to the ...

Ruby Dee and Diahann Carroll: The Greatest!
Ruby and Diahann were showing off their skills. I loved watching them become the DeLany sisters with ease. It is most difficult to pick out a favorite scene, but I will say that the telephone installer was dumb founded and acted it well.

HOLLYWOOD CANTEEN
Having been fortunate to have been SERVED at "THE" canteen I have found this to be a true story of the canteen. True Robert Hutton's romance with Joan Leslie was not a fact, however, it gave us guys a sense of enjoying our many fantasies. This film was very entertaining, in my eyes, and I'm certain many of us who were fortunate the have visited the Hollywood canteen feel much the same. I was in ...

Brother Sun Sister Moon [VHS]

189 reviews
Graham Faulkner, Judi Bowker

Paramount, 1996

A Realistic Look
Brother Sun, Sister Moon is a very accurate portrayl of the life of St. Francis. What detracts from its story is the typical Hollywood approach that Francis was as handsome as Clare was beautiful. Images of Francis and Clare were anything but the way they appear. However the story is quite accurate and a marvelous movie to watch for anyone who is sincerely interested in the life of St. Francis.

Sister Wendy's Story of Painting (Box Set) [VHS]

Wendy Beckett

BBC Warner, 2000

All the World Loves a Lover
Prior to encountering Sr. Wendy, I liked art. Through Sr. Wendy, I have come to love it. One might first be struck by her rather odd appearance -- she is a rather frumpy nun. But the second thing one notices, and what one is ultimately swept up by, is her passion for art. She approaches art as a lover, rather than as a critic. Yes, she is willing to make judgments about what she likes and ...

Abbott & Costello: Buck Privates [VHS]

23 reviews
Bud Abbott, Lou Costello

Universal Studios, 1992

A great Andrews Sisters movie!
I loved this movie! Not because I'm a fan of Abbott and Costello, but because I'm a huge Andrews Sisters fan and they are featured very prominently in this film. In fact, they do the entire "Boogie Woogie Bugle Boy" number in this movie as well as many others. It is a great way to see the Andrews Sisters perform and sing. I recommend it highly!

Sister Wendy Beckett, Bill Moyers

Wgbh Boston, 2000

This video can change your life
I was a fan of Sister Wendy's before this Interview. I am a devotee now. Sister Wendy has surely surprised us with her series on PBS - being simultaneously amusing and didactic. But this interview with Bill Moyers permits her to display her philosophy about art rather than her thoughts on a specific piece, and in doing so gives us true food for thought. She extemporizes on the definition ...

Whoopi Goldberg, Maggie Smith

Touchstone / Disney, 1992

Fun movie...*possible spoilers*
What a classic. I don't really like Goldberg but she was great in this movie. I loved her quirky personality and her no nonsense attitude. Something I noticed in the movie was that when Delores went to the police station in the beginning she tells the detectives that she overheard Vince say to Joey, "say goodnight joey" . But Delores barged in AFTER Vince said it and right when he shot Joey. So I ...

Andy at Christmas
If you are an Andy William fan, and your LP's, cassettes, VHS, Betas, are not getting pulled out any more - get these DVD's. The years fall away. His voice, even though a bit older, is the same as you remember it 35+ years ago. You can't have Christmas without an Andy William's Christmas Special. You won't be sorry you bought his DVD specials. Getting these at Amazon is painless and easy. Makes ...

Sister Act 2: Back in the Habit
Deloris Van Cartier, now a headliner in Las Vegas, is persuaded by the good sisters to return to her inner city alma mater, St. Francis High, to go undercover as the new music teacher. This is a great feel good movie that brings song, and teaches one how to follow your dreams. A true inspiration for the young and old that you can pursue your dreams.
