Mr Skeffington [VHS] Catherine Browne Akiko Wakabayashi American Academy O... Merle Oberon

Paul Muni, Merle Oberon

Sony Pictures, 1996

A SONG THAT I'LL CERTAINLY ALWAYS REMEMBER
A few days ago, thanks to Amazon and a kind gentleman named Ernest who had one to sell, I FINALLY became the proud owner of A Song to Remember on VHS - a little more than 56 years after I saw the actual movie. They say if something's good enough to want, it's good ...

Hotel [VHS]

Rod Taylor, Catherine Spaak

Warner Home Video, 1996

Hotel - Where women are "ladies" and men are "gentlemen"
I love this movie! It's a wonderful escape back to an era when hospitality was in and everyone not only knew how, but were expected to "dress" (it makes me want to buy white gloves and hats just to do lunch). Catherine Spaak and Merle Oberon are luminous in Edith ...

Divorce of Lady X [VHS]

Merle Oberon, Laurence Olivier

United American Video, 1989

Lady X should be better known!
One of the most charming of the "screwball comedies." Highlights include the delightful performances of Laurence Olivier as the smug young attorney and Merle Oberon as the lady who taunts him, but the performance you should not miss is that of Ralph Richardson as the ...

Deep in My Heart [VHS]

José Ferrer, Merle Oberon

MGM (Video & DVD), 1995

Deep in my heart too!
This is only one of many biopics about famous composers, which Hollywood used to do so well. MGM drew on their extensive roster of super stars to tell the sorty of Sigmund Romberg. However, as the film was made in the 1950's, it does show its age somewhat, but then we ...

Scarlet Pimpernel [VHS]

Leslie Howard; Merle Oberon; Raymond Massey; Nigel Bruce

Timeless Multimedia, 1999

One of the classics
When my son was in junior high, we watched this film together because I'd recently read the book for a college class I was taking. As an adult, he remembered that he had enjoyed it, so I ordered it for him. He loved it once again and has added it to his collection of ...

Wuthering Heights (1939) [VHS]

Merle Oberon, Laurence Olivier

Hbo Home Video, 1994

i didnt read the book...
i first heard of wuthering heights when i heard kate bush sing the song. my then bf (now hb) told me that it was about an old movie. first off, i loved the movie. i did wonder if heathcliff was actually a little less than perfect because in the movie he plays a ...

These Three [VHS]

Miriam Hopkins, Merle Oberon

Hbo Home Video, 1997

The hour of the lie...
A while ago I had the pleasure of seeing 1961's `The Children's Hour', a film that really struck me with its profound look at the anatomy (and destructive course) of the lie. I had no idea that that film was an adaptation of a film Wyler had made years back called ...

The Oscar [VHS]

Stephen Boyd, Elke Sommer

Embassy Home Entertainment, 1993

The Last Stand of 'Old Hollywood':
I had wanted to see this movie for years, after only knowing the parody SCTV did in the early 80s ("The Nobel")...It exceeded all my expectations; I would say SCTV's version only exaggerated the film by about 10 percent! The real reason to watch is Tony Bennett as the ...

Wuthering Heights [VHS]

MGM (Video & DVD), 2000

i didnt read the book...
i first heard of wuthering heights when i heard kate bush sing the song. my then bf (now hb) told me that it was about an old movie. first off, i loved the movie. i did wonder if heathcliff was actually a little less than perfect because in the movie he plays a ...

Dark Waters (1944) [VHS]

Merle Oberon, Franchot Tone

Image Entertainment, 1999

It Has Its Moments of True Suspense
I almost didn't watch this movie after reading a negative review on IMDB. What a treat to enjoy a movie after your expectations of it have been lowered. Sure the dark beauty Merle Oberon was "as expressionless as a marble paperweight" but it made for an even more ...

Cowboy & The Lady (1938) [VHS]

Gary Cooper, Merle Oberon

United Artists, 1994

Remembering this movie after all these years.
I saw this movie as a young teenager, when black and white movies dominated weekends and rainy days! This was a romance that helped set the stage for all I find good in a romance: innocence, humor, drama, passion (the boat scene when he knew he had to marry her that ...

The Divorce of Lady X
Sir Laurence Olivier, Merle Oberon

GoodTimes Home Video, 1987

A nobleman's daughter wins a barrister by posing as a divorce client

The Lion Has Wings [VHS]

Merle Oberon, Ralph Richardson

MGM (Video & DVD), 2000

Interesting from an historical perspective
An effective and explicitly propagandistic wartime docudrama, co-directed by the ever-quirky Michael Powell, and clearly aimed at a hometown audience seeking reassurance during the ongoing German Blitz. Merle Oberon and Ralph Richardson star as a British couple doing ...

Desiree [VHS]

Marlon Brando, Jean Simmons

20th Century Fox, 1998

Desiree
I don't know why this movie is not more famous. The scenery and costumes are beautiful, and the acting is superb. I have never liked Marlon Brando, but he is excellent in this movie, as is Jean Simmons. Michael Rennie, somewhat forgotten nowadays, is good as well. The ...
