Roman Holiday -
Audrey Hepburn, a young stressed princess, experiences life without schedules and guards when she sneaks outside her country's embassy in Rome after being given sleeping medication. Gregory Peck, a poor newspaper reporter trying to earn enough money to get back to NY, thinks she is drunk and doesn't want her to be picked up by the police.

Thereafter follow several comedic scenes. He follows her around to get a real inside scoop on the life of a princess... His friend (Eddie Albert)brings a hidden camera. They tour several famous places in Rome, ending up back where she started in the shadow of the embassy on a boat and suddenly surrounded by several secret service agents from her own country. They end up falling in love and hence the interesting ending ... Read More

I thought the combination movies were excellent. I saw the original Parent Trap II years ago and loved it. It was even better now. It is a movie that the whole family can watch and enjoy together.

There is a lot of love for this movie; that is clear. `Breakfast at Tiffany's' is usually heralded as a classic film, and has definitely proven to be Audrey Hepburn's most popular movie role. Truth be told though, this is really nothing more than a romantic comedy; a very good one mind you, but nothing more. In fact, don't hate me for saying this, but `Breakfast at Tiffany's' reminds me of the type of film I could see Kate Hudson or Jennifer Lopez doing in a year or two. What makes this film stand out though as noteworthy and has helped garner it that `classic' status is the phenomenal performance given by Audrey Hepburn; a performance that utilizes her natural charm and charisma to create a character that is deeper than the film she inhabits.

Hepburn plays Holly Golightly, a ... Read More

What a good movie. This is what movies are supposed to be like. This is just a fun movie. Jimmy Stewart is good in this, very believable. Watch this and enjoy.

I purchased this dvd based on the reviews and was not disappointed. This is a gem of a comedy! It has it all - jokes, physical comedy, musical comedy and is good clean fun for the whole family. One would think this role was made for Danny Kaye (and perhaps it was)because he is simply brilliant throughout the film.

Kaye plays a role similar to that of one of Robin Hood's Merry Men but he is not taken seriously by the others, including its leader, the Black Fox. In a twist of fate, Kaye is given the opportunity to prove himself when he pretends to be a famous court jester, also known in darker circles as an infamous assassin. Kaye's goal is to gain access to the castle for the Black Fox's men so that they can dispose of the illegitimate king and put in his place the rightful heir to the throne, ... Read More

"With that fine Italian hand that can't cook, or sew, or even do the laundry - you've managed to put a family back together again..."

I just recently purchased HOUSEBOAT (1958) and watched it for the first time and Cary Grant was never better than when he stars with Sophia Loren. They look made for each other! And the gorgeous clothing...you can definitely tell an Edith Head design! Stunning!

Cary Grant plays Tom Winters, a government agent, who is widowed and left to raise his three unruly kids on his own. During a concert one night, Robert (the youngest child) runs away and is found by the beautiful Cinzia Zaccardi (Sophia Loren), who is also running away from her over-bearing, over-protective Italian father. The children immediately fall in love with her and Tom hires her as the maid, but ... Read More

The Ghost and Mrs. Muir (Joseph L. Mankiewicz, 1947)

While I was a longtime fan of the TV adaptation of The Ghost and Mrs. Muir, which ran only two seasons but survived for years afterwards in syndication, I somehow never got round to seeing the film version until now. I'm not sure why. It's a Mankiewicz (Sleuth, The Quiet American) film, so it's guaranteed entertainment, and the screenplay is by Philip Dunne (The Robe). Add a cast headed up by Gene Tierney and Rex Harrison, and how can you go wrong?

Tierney plays Lucy Muir, a young widow who, after an amusing scene where she asserts herself with a realtor who thinks he knows what's best for her, rents a seaside cottage haunted by the ghost of its previous inhabitant, Captain Gregg (Harrison). Lucy, her daughter Anna (Natalie Wood), and her maid ... Read More

I was delighted with this DVD set. The set was so reasonalble in price. I had checked on Tammy movies several years ago and could not find any,It was great to get all three of them in a set like this. If you like light hearted romantic comedies, that are suitable for children to still be in the room when you're watching them, then you will love these.

2009 marks the 50th anniversary of this release by Billy Wilder. To this date it's a movie that has stood the test of time in comedy!Tony Curtis,Jack Lemmon and Marilyn Monroe are first rate funny in this hilarious romp of a 1929 all girls band with Curtis and Lemmon dressed up in drag to avoid being caught George Raft and company. It's comedy at its best! I am glad to add this to my collection!

Great film that has a wonderful cast headed by Rosalind Russell. Makes you want to view the world as a stage and enjoy all of the amazing cast and scenes as your own personal production. Enjoyed sharing it with my 67 your old mother as much as my 8 year old niece- both loved it! If only life were as simple as enjoying the gifts it has to offer while riding out the rough spots with a positive attitude and class. A film like "It's a Wonderful Life" that should be watched (at least) once a year!!!
