This has always been one of my favorites westerns, although I never went to the trouble of getting a DVD version, until it came up on my Amazon recommendation list. I ordered it right away, and received the usual good Amazon service, and quick, free shipping, and have not been disappointed. Gregory Peck is one of best actors, and makes the movie, playing the bad guy this time, instead of his usual hero role. I can personally recommend this movie, going against a number of the negative reviews that are posted here.

A good story and fine performances from two old stage pros (Ethel Waters and Ethel Barrymore). Jeanne Crain as a black girl strains credibility, no doubt. But the ensemble scenes of white bigots and the way a handful of whites stand up to them is very anticipatory of To Kill a Mockingbird. A powerful film in the end.

This is classic film noir in all respects: dark moody lighting, flawed "hero", femme fatale, jealous husband, gray-area moral quandaries, pessimistic tone, unhappy ending, jaded, pseudo-sophisticated dialog. How about this gem of dialog where the Burt Lancaster character says:

"A man eats an apple. He gets a piece of the core stuck between his teeth. He tries to work it out with some cellophane from a cigarette pack. What happens? The cellophane gets stuck in there too. Anna? What was the use. I knew that somehow I'd wind up seeing her that night."

I love the extended scene of the band playing an interesting rumba (a little over 2 minutes) when the Burt Lancaster character walks into the Round-Up Club, looking for Anna. They show Esy Morales and His Rumba Band playing a pretty ... Read More

***** 1952. Produced and directed by Otto Preminger. Robert Mitchum is seduced by Jean Simmons, the stepdaughter of a wealthy business woman. He's put on trial when Jean manages to plot her stepmother's death. A movie I worship for more than 35 years now. Rocked between the black-haired Dianne and the blonde Mary, Frank Jessup suffers the consequences of his passivity. ANGEL FACE'S screenplay resumes the vertebral column of the 1945 Fallen Angel (Fox Film Noir) but gives to the character of Diane Tremayne a relief that will haunt you for days. Masterpiece.

This is one of Audie Murphy's Best. A real adult western. Audie Murphy, out to avenge the killing of his father by the gang who jumped their claim, gains a rep as a real fast gun. He rides into a town where the sheriff/gunfighter (McNally) uses his rep to keep the local gunmen in line. When the sheriff is crippled he covers his injury with bravado and hiring the "kid" as his deputy. It's cross and double cross as the sheriff chases the kid away because he thinks the kid betrayed the secret of his injury to his enemies. It's up to the kid to save the sheriff, get the gang and his revenge, and save the day. Great performances by a perfectly selected cast make this a must watch for classic western fans.

POSSESSED (1947) is a somewhat underrated Warner Bros. film noir! With an
excellent central performance from its star Joan Crawford this highly charged drama should be better thought of than it is and deserving of much
more exposure. It is one of Crawford's best pictures so this overdue
release on DVD is something of an event.

Crawford, fresh from winning an Acadamy Award for "Mildred Pierce" looked
as if she was trying for another one here and was even nominated for her well measured portrayal of a neurotic private nurse in the employ of Ramond Massey, but she is unable to deal with the intensity and frustration of her unrequited love for a young engineer (Van Heflin). It eventually gets all too much for her and she finally snaps culminating in a tragic last reel.
Crawford gives ... Read More

DVD : The Marrying Kind
Seen today, The Marrying Kind, a film about a young married couple and the hardships they endure in their marriage, demonstrates how the social safety net used to protect the working class in a way it doesn't today. Florence and Chet Keefer live in a two-bedroom rent-controlled apartment in Peter Cooper Village in Manhattan. Chet's a rough-around-the-edges guy with steady manufacturing job that gives him enough income to support his family, even though he constantly complains about money and dreams of making it big (he's sort of an unfunny Ralph Kramden). Florence is realistic and plain-spoken.

The film has a nice social-realist feel with fascinating location shots of postwar New York City, a more sedate city than today, filled with orderly well-behaved people dressed up in suits, ties, dresses and hats. Chet even ... Read More

Wesley Ruggles is probably best known for directing CIMARRON, the 1931 western that won that year's Best Picture Oscar.

This 1940 release has much in common with the earlier movie. Both films are epic in their scope and deal with the building of an American empire. Both pictures are somewhat episodic, emphasize characterization over action and also have a female protagonist in love with a man who is not always around.

Jean Arthur stars as tough-talking, gun-toting Phoebe Titus, who at the start of the Civil War lives in Tuscon, making her living baking pies. She dreams, however, of owning ... Read More
