VHS : The King and I
I lived in Thailand for 2 1/2 years in the 1990's. It was a very nice time indeed. I know that this is not good history for Thailand and in fact the film is banned in Thailand (but a bootleg copy can be found on every street corner) because of the poor history and light on it's great king, King Mongkut. To me as an American, I can see the brilliance of a Rogers and Hammerstein Musical and enjoy its wonderful story and entertainment, it is different for a Thai person. Still the art is there and I find it highly enjoyable. I grew up with this musical and find it beautiful. Debra Kerr and Yul Brynner round out a perfect cast with Rita Moreno as TupTim. The story, sets, song and acting are nearly perfect. I wish the story was more accurate but it might have taken away from the magical fantasy ... Read More

Without a doubt this movie is outstanding. It is hilarious, entertaining and musical. The black and white adds to the greatness. I highly recommend this movie.

If ever there is a movie you should see add this one to your list. I own it. Too bad it isn't put on DVD. I would hate to lose it because of the tape disintegrating.

This is one of the greatest westerns ever made. I've seen all the Earp movies and this is by far the best.

VHS : Ma & Pa Kettle at Home
The Indians try to make a fire in the Kettles fireplace the old fashion way, the smoke signal way. Judges are a comin' to award a child with a scholarship. However, who ever has the nicest looking farm and raises their kids in a good enviroment has a chance of winning. So the Kettles move back to the old farm (where they lived in their first film appearance THE EGG AND I [1947]) to fix it up. Funniest bit: Ma tries on a corset. Another funny bit: The town Indians had to read a book on "Indian Costumes" on how to dress (or be undressed) like their forefathers and learn to put on war mark make-up. Mary Wickes has a role as "Miss Wetter". The Kettles also have Christmas on the farm. The next film in the series is MA AND PA KETTLE AT WAIKIKI (1955).

VHS : Topper
Add a star (****) for the picture; subtract a star (**) for the lousy colorization. Whatever happened to the original b&w version?

Cary Grant and Constance Bennett are two recently deceased fun-loving, rich party-goers who come back to haunt the life of straight-laced banker Cosmo Topper (played by Roland Young). Bennett turns Topper's life so upside-down that he leaves his wife to have a good time with her. Of course it's all made right again before too much damage is done. The first 1/3 and the last 1/3 are the best parts; the middle part sort of drags. The picture is lots of fun. Worth a watch.

VHS : That Hamilton Woman
This is a typical London Films Korda classic of the time. While a beautiful and romantic film, much of the incidents portrayed in Emma's life are highly romanticized and inaccurate. Vivian Leign is her usually charged and bouncy self, and Olivier his usual stiff upper lip. The film becomes more a show of chemistry between these two famous actors of the time, with history loosely thrown in!

Vivian Leigh is all over this film, and while some find her bubbly manner charming, at times it can be annoying. I was half expecting her to go into her Scarlet bit while Olivier (Nelson) was being dragged along with the story. The production value is certainly first-rate, although a bit inaccurate at times. The film's music was certainly not period at all, and at one point one hears "A Life on the Ocean Wave" in ... Read More
