Yul Brynner, Claire Bloom

Paramount, 1996

Jean Lafitte, Prince of Pirates
A swashbuckler with pirates, smugglers and patriots, this is marvelous entertainment, with two actors who are riveting to watch, and some history, which though embellished in some places and condensed in others, is in essence correct. Jean Lafitte was flamboyant and a ...

Islands in the Stream [VHS]

George C. Scott, David Hemmings

Paramount, 1995

Islands in the Stream
This is a classic that never reviewed the praise it deserves. I rank it in the top 25 movies made. George C. Scott is brillant. He offers the viewer love, romance, adventure, drama, and... the Ocean. Each time I see "Island in the Stream" I enjoy it more.

Shadow on the Sun [VHS]

Stefanie Powers, Claire Bloom

Anchor Bay, 1996

Stephnie Powers as Beryl Markham, famed Aviatrix
Although now at least ten years old and released on two VHS tapes, this was truly a terrific movie. Beryl Markham was still alive when I first moved to Kenya, where I lived for six years. She is famous as the first person to fly "West with the Night", which is also ...

VOLUME 1: THE GREAT HUNGER Part one of this acclaimed PBS series explores the earliest roots of the Irish people in the New World. Centering on the crucial event of the Potato Famine, this tape examines the causes of what would become one of the greatest mass ...

The Brothers Karamazov (1958) [VHS]

Yul Brynner, Maria Schell

MGM (Warner), 1998

Underrated.
It practically goes without saying that this Hollywood production is inadequate as an adaptation of a monumental novel. On the other hand, even when judged as an adaptation, "Brothers Karamazov" strikes me as superior to efforts to film similar weighty Russian novels ...

The Wonderful World of the Brothers Grimm [VHS]

Laurence Harvey, Claire Bloom

MGM (Warner), 1994

Back to the days of childhood
I remember seeing this movie in CINEMASCOPE when I was just 8 years old, but it left such an impression that I still recall scenes today at 54! I especially enjoyed the dragon and the king who said (with delight) "Don't loose your head!" Watching it again after all ...

Princess & Goblin [VHS]

Claire Bloom, Joss Ackland

Hemdale Home Video I, 1994

I LOVE IT!
It is one of my favorite movies. When ever I would rent a movie this would be the one that I would rent. It is fabulous!!!!

Henry & June [VHS]

Fred Ward, Uma Thurman

Universal Studios, 1993

Delicious!
The intense intimacy in this movie is just deliciously wonderful. You don't see much of any nudity, but it's still great! I've only owned it a week or two and have already watched it twice! If you want a good time, get this movie!

Richard III (The Classic Collection) [VHS]

Sir Laurence Olivier, Sir Cedric Hardwicke

Embassy Home Entertainment (Nelson Entertainment), 1989

The classic Richard III
It goes without saying that this classic production is well-worth purchasing--it is one of the great dramatisations of Shakespeare. Highly recommended.

Charlie Chaplin: Limelight (1952) [VHS]

Charles Chaplin, Claire Bloom

20th Century Fox, 1992

Limelight (2 Disc Special Edition)
This is a reveiw of the film Limelight (1952) a Charlie Chaplin film that apparently did not get much of a US release until his all somewhat belated homecoming when was forgiven in the early 1970s. I believe the story is that Chaplin went to England for the ...

C.S. Lewis Shadowlands [VHS]

Joss Ackland, Rupert Baderman

Gateway Films (Vision Video), 1995

True to Life
My husband is a college professor and teaches a class on Lewis which is very popular. He shows this movie. The students are very moved by the account of this man's life, love, and faith. Without a doubt, this BBC version captures the essence of Lewis the person far ...
