Absolutely Fit [VHS] English Grammar fo... Ava Gardner

Kathryn Grayson, Ava Gardner

MGM (Video & DVD), 1994

Favorite Musical
Showboat has always been my favorite musical movie with its drama and beautiful music. The video quality is very good considering the age of the movie. It is full screen on a flat panel TV but you can tell that it has been stretched. Kathryn Garyson's beautiful ...

55 Days at Peking [VHS]

Charlton Heston, Ava Gardner

Best Film And Video, 1991

55 days at peking
The copy I received is in excellent condition. It came in on time so I am very happy with the whole experience

The Killers [VHS]

Burt Lancaster, Ava Gardner

Universal Studios, 1998

Timeless film-noir classic
Robert Siodmak's able direction of Ernest Hemingway's short story "The Killers" resulted in an outstanding vintage 1940's crime drama. With a superb cast and a convoluted intriguing plot with unexpected twists, this flick was a top shelf offering. The story begins ...

Bhowani Junction [VHS]

Ava Gardner, Stewart Granger

MGM (Warner), 1994

Great movie
I think this is a pretty good movie. (I always think movies about British India are very interesting, and pretty Ava G. is a definite plus.) By the way right now you can get this at the Warner Bros website shop for 14.95 with free shipping. I think this Archive ...

Bible [VHS]

Michael Parks, Ulla Bergryd

20th Century Fox, 2002

One of the best biblical accounts
They made this movie when men did not presume to change the accounts of the Bible. I first saw this movie at one of its premiere showings in San Francisco, 1966 on a junior high school field trip. It's every bit as good to see now. Kids love to watch it as well as ...

Hucksters [VHS]

Clark Gable, Deborah Kerr

MGM (Warner), 1998

Absorbing drama
"The Hucksters" is a refreshingly adult drama with themes that resonate even today. Clark Gable plays an advertising agent (a "huckster") who is basically a decent man, but who finds himself increasingly compromising his principles in order to satisfy a despotic soap ...

Mogambo [VHS]

Clark Gable, Grace Kelly

MGM (Warner), 1994

Good Movie
I am not a movie critic. I just know if I like a movie and if it entertains me. I liked this movie and it did entertain me. For those of you who like detailed reviews on movies, I realize this will not help you.

Mayerling (1968) [VHS]

Omar Sharif, Catherine Deneuve

MGM (Warner), 1998

Not Perfect, But Vastly Entertaining
I have been told that the French predecessor of this film is better, but I don't see how. The compelling true story of the downfall of the Hapsburg family is recounted here with an emphasis on the personal tragedy of Prince Rudolph. Here is a man trapped in a ...

Long Hot Summer [VHS]

Don Johnson, Jason Robards

Fox Home Entertainment, 1988

The perfect cast of a perfectly wonderful film
This is such a wonderful movie. I cannot believe it is not available on DVD yet. What is with these people? My VHS version is almost worn out. I would love to own this on DVD. I think every actor/actress in this film is so perfectly cast. This version of this ...

Seven Days in May (B&W) [VHS]

Burt Lancaster, Kirk Douglas

Warner Home Video, 1997

Fanatic vs Patriot
This is one of my once a year movies. I watch this and a few others once every year because they are that good. The finest performance Kirk Douglas ever gave, and Lancaster, in real life an avid political liberal, portrays a fanatic military officer planning treason. ...

Harem [VHS]

Nancy Travis, Art Malik

Starmaker Entertainment, 1996

THE HANDSOME BEDOUIN KIDNAPPS JESSICA, AND THE SULTAN WANTS HER TOO!
If you wish to get a glimpse of a Sultan's palace, and his harem of beautiful ladies, and see how they all lived, then this movie is just for you! It is a very romantic, sensual story, with lots of action, and adventure, and drama; men and women both, would like this ...

The Devil's Widow (Tam Lin) [VHS]

Ava Gardner, Ian McShane

Republic Pictures, 1998

much berated film needs a second look
This film got shot down when it opened, so much so, the late Roddy McDowell never directed another film. It is dated, and some of the work it too artsy, but I really think this film deserver a closer look because it works on several levels. Based on the poems by ...

One Touch of Venus 45th Anniversary [VHS]

Robert Walker, Ava Gardner

Lions Gate/Republic Ent., 1993

one touch of venus
a prime example of romantic comedy of the past. Where is DVD???? I should know I lived it. I worked in hollywood for 11 years.

Pandora & the Flying Dutchman [VHS]

James Mason, Ava Gardner

Kino Video, 2000

Classic Ethereal Fantasy
Albert Lewin's independently produced and directed UK film PANDORA AND THE FLYING DUTCHMAN (1951) is one of the most ethereal and haunting love stories ever filmed. Lewin directs with keen eyes and doesn't often stray from the ethereal atmosphere, to the viewers ...

Knights of the Round Table [VHS]

Robert Taylor, Ava Gardner

MGM (Warner), 1998

Excellent
Fast service. Excellent condition. I like old movies and the old stars that play in them. Thank you.
