June Nolen author of "In Reverse Time"
I first saw this picture in the seventies probably on TV. It haunted me for years trying to remember the title. So when I happened across it on TCM I was delighted and ordered it right away. It was just as I remembered it. A sweet and simple love story between a young ...

Love Affair

Irene Dunne, Charles Boyer

Madacy Records, 1998

The one that started it all
This is the wonderful rendition of what we most often think of as starting with "An Affair To Remember". This is the original, with many of it's scenes and even it's dialogue repeated in "An Affair To Remember" I owned this VHS and played it until it became unplayable. ...

Arch of Triumph

A FINE FILM
Any movie with Charles Boyer is worth it, and the added attraction of Ingrid Bergman and Charles laughton add more talent to this fine film. I would love to have seen the 4 hour version of "Arch of Triumph". If you love the B&W classics I recommend it.

Lethal Weapon the TV show
At least, thats how I call it, and it's not meant as an insult. This is one of my favorite cop shows of the 90s - Barney Miller meets Hill Street Blues. Fans of 21 Jump Street will recognize Captain Fuller as Detective Brooks. I'll be crushed if the rest of the series ...

Worth the wait...
Finally, The Spiral Road is available on DVD, and that alone is worth the cost of this collection. Amazon indicated the format was standard and I was prepared to accept that. Thankfully, it was issued in widescreen. I agree this is an obscure title, but an excellent ...

Love Affair

Later remade multiple times, "Love Affair" is a semi-forgotten little romance movie from an earlier age of moviemaking. The plot is as simple and sweet as the title, with its tale of true love found, disrupted, and found again -- the sort of love affair we all wish we ...
