Judith Anderson

Jerry Lewis, Ed Wynn

Video Treasures, 1994

LOUIS+BASIE=GREATNESS
See Jerry Lewis at the top of his game, along with the Count Basie Orchestra, and you have a virtual orgy for the senses. The supporting cast is top notch. However, the dip into the hipness of the era, via the Basie Orchestra really puts this fairytale over the top. ...

Rebecca

Judith Anderson, Florence Bates

Anchor Bay, 1998

Rebecca, 2008 re-release
Actually the line is: "Last night I dreamt I went to Manderlay again..." Note: the five stars are solely for the movie Rebecca, not this particular product. Which brings me to the point of this review. The Criterion Collection issue of Rebecca, until now, has been the ...

All Dogs Go to Heaven (Clam)

Loni Anderson, Judith Barsi

MGM (Video & DVD), 1995

GREAT SERIES of DVD... ALL Dogs...
Overall the DVD was good and very much appropriate for young children. However, after a couple of weeks it had fallen to the back of his preference list. We've not watched it in over a year now. I guess this isn't so different from any other DVD we have. I would ...

Decoration Day

James Garner, Judith Ivey

Hallmark, 1999

An Exceptional Film
Set in the state of Georgia, James Garner renders a powerful and very sensitive performance of a Judge who following the death of his wife, retires from the bench. He tries to with-draw from life esconced in his own grief and bitterness. The mys-tery surrounding an old ...

All Through the Night

Humphrey Bogart, Conrad Veidt

Warner Home Video, 2000

My favorite Bogart film...
There are lots of reasons to love this film. The stellar cast, including Wm. Demarest, Jane Darwell, Phil Silvers, a young Jackie Gleason, Frank McHugh, Conrad Veidt, Peter Lorre, Judith Anderson...well, it doesn't get much better. Consider the 1942 release...the war ...

Salome

Rita Hayworth, Stewart Granger

Sony Pictures, 1998

RITA HAYWORTH WAS THE ORIGINAL SCREEN GODDESS!!!
When it comes to Bible epics there's always going to be criticism in the accuracy, so I only watch for entertainment value. In the case of Salome I could care less if it was accurate in the storytelling, I just enjoyed seeing Rita Hayworth light up the screen and She ...

Kings Row

Ann Sheridan, Robert Cummings

MGM (Warner), 1998

A Dark Masterpiece
"King's Row" is one of the darkest masterpieces ever to come out of the Hollywood studio system. Released on February 2, 1942, this scathing attack on turn of the century small town American life probably would not have been made in patriotic, post-Pearl Harbor USA. ...

Man Called Horse

Richard Harris, Judith Anderson

20th Century Fox, 1998

A Learning Experience
If people thought Mel Gibson had it tough getting people to watch a movie that was fully in Aramaic, think back to 1970 when A Man Called Horse came out. This movie is almost entirely spoken in Lakota, and there aren't subtitles. This helps you to really get a sense of ...

Cat on a Hot Tin Roof (1958)

Elizabeth Taylor, Paul Newman

Warner Home Video, 2000

Who's going to get the money?
Big Daddy (Burl Ives) is dying of cancer and the family's going after 10M worth of inheritance. Brick (Paul Newman) and Cooper (Cooper) are Big Daddy's progeny. Cooper's the eldest, but Brick's the favorite. Unfortunately, Brick's married to Maggie the Cat (Taylor) ...

Laura (1944)

Gene Tierney, Dana Andrews

20th Century Fox, 1998

Verry, Verry Good Film!
This is absolutely a good film - not a great film but wonderfully fun! It has a couple of good twists and turns! I would highly recomend it! If you love Gene Tierney and Classic films watch the Ghost and Mrs. Muere!

And Then There Were None

Barry Fitzgerald, Walter Huston

Englewood Entertainment, 1997

A Fourth DVD Version Since 2007
For those who can play code-2-DVDs, there is a fourth version on the market. The French Canal+ (see Am.fr) has edited in 2007 a restored version that is the best so far (I already own the "best" code-1-version by Image disc). The language is English, of course - just ...

Spectre of the Rose

Judith Anderson, Albert Band

Republic Pictures, 1998

For particular tastes only
This is one of those peculiar films in which you can't tell what is serious and what is a send up, in which the younger actors, who can't really act, are playing it completely straight and the older actors, all strange and wonderful veterans such as Judith Anderson, ...

Pursued

Teresa Wright, Robert Mitchum

Republic Pictures, 1995

THE FORGOTTEN PAST.
What a amazing picture this is. I was up on the edge of my seat,not for climax but all the time.it starts with a beautiful music given by one of the famous musician "MAX STEINER" and the photography in black and white is haunting in itself.The Director raoul Walsh who ...

Red House

Edward G. Robinson, Lon McCallister

Hollywood Movie Classics, 1985

THE RED HOUSE : ***** Alpha Video DVD: - 0 ( a wretched transfer!)
THE RED HOUSE deserves better - it really begs for a restoration. It's a terrific "little" film - Superbly realized in EVERY department. But I am writing this as a warning, not a film review. BEWARE of everything sleazed out of Alpha Video! This is the schlock company ...
