Norma Shearer

Lillian Gish, Richard Barthelmess

Image Entertainment, 1998

Tender Innocence
The world had already begun to lose some of its innocence after the Great War when film pioneer D.W. Griffith took this long and romantic look at the mores which would eventually destroy his own career, outdating the type of stories he told. "Way Down East" is, like ...

Marie Antoinette

Norma Shearer, Tyrone Power

Warner Home Video, 2006

Very Impressive!
I've seen the movie before and thought is was only Ok. Now I've seen the Sophia Coppola version and know more about Marie Antoinette's history. This movie is good and pretty accurate in many ways! I thought the Tyrone Power romance was a bit exaggerated and the ...

The Women (Keepcase)

Norma Shearer, Joan Crawford

Warner Home Video, 2005

DVD: The Women (1939)
Excellent movie. It is a must see movie that was way ahead of its time. Although the movie is more than 65 years old, it has meaning today because it's about girlfriends. The all star cast includes Norma Shearer, Joan Crawford, Rosalind Russell and no men. What a ...

Norma Shearer, Lionel Barrymore

WARNER HOME VIDEO, 2008

Love and sex, pre-Code style
There were a few years in movie making when sound was first introduced but the Production Codes had not yet been in force. These codes would severely limit the ability of movies to depict the real world: sex, violence and corruption were toned down - often to the ...

Romeo and Juliet

Norma Shearer, Leslie Howard

Warner Home Video, 2007

A Jewelry Box Treasure of The Bard's Classic Romance
Very few people are familiar with this lavish, Old Hollywood production of Shakespeare's ROMEO & JULIET, but it is a gem of a movie. It has, in my opinion, the finest cast ever assembled in the history of Shakespeare on film. Norma Shearer and Leslie Howard are both ...

Gary Cooper Classics (Fighting Caravans, A Farewell to Arms, Meet John Doe, Stolen Jools)

Wallace Beery, Buster Keaton

Genius Entertainment, 2003

Great bargain for Gary Cooper's fans!
I'm a big fan of Gary Cooper & overall I thought these movies were very enjoyable. The first movie is "Fighting Caravans" (1931) & features a very young Gary Cooper as a wild frontiersman who talks a young French woman (played by Lili Damita) into posing as his wife in ...

Oil On Ice (Arctic National Wildlife Refuge)

Peter Coyote, Adeline Peter Raboff

Lightyear, 2005

Amazing film about one of the few latest paradises on earth
This film made me want to travel to Alaska and meet the natives and have a look at them one last time in shame. We don't own this land. This land owns us and if we forget that the human race will vanish very soon. A striking photography and beautiful music will make ...
