1.Mr. Peabody and the Mermaid starring: William Powell, Ann Blyth, Irene Hervey, Andrea King, Clinton Sundberg directed by: Irving Pichel January 01, 1998
Average Rating: >>More Details		Used Price: $13.94
I watched this as a kid and still have fond memories of it. I would love to have it on DVD. I am a huge mermaid fan and I think this movie inspired it. There is debate whether or not he imagined her or not. I think in this movie she was real and he did experience all those things that happened. The end where he gave his wife a hairpiece that belonged to the mermaid. That tore me apart. He was in love with the mermaid and yet felt the need to be " in love" with his wife. He had to make a choice whether or not to stay with someone he fell in love with , someone that made him feel young, wanted, and loved. Or to honor his marriage vows. And build on his marriage again. No other mermaid movie has ever captured the emotion or magic ... Read More

2.Lemon Drop Kid starring: Bob Hope, Marilyn Maxwell, Lloyd Nolan, Jane Darwell, Andrea King directed by: Frank Tashlin, Sidney Lanfield June 24, 1994

I expected more from a B. Hope movie, but this one delivers a lot less. Fans of Bob will be disapointed.

3.Mr. Peabody and the Mermaid starring: William Powell, Ann Blyth, Irene Hervey, Andrea King, Clinton Sundberg directed by: Irving Pichel 1987
Average Rating: >>More Details		Used Price: $15.00
I am not saying that I am fifty or anything like that, but I can relate to this movie. It makes you want to take up fishing. And William Powell portrays Mr. Peabody as well if not better than he does Nick Charles. Ann Blyth as Lenore the Mermaid does not have much to say but you understand her very well. This was filmed on location at Weekiwachee Spring, Florida. I have watched this so many times that I do not have to look up any more, even though I do. I also like all the scenes in the Psychiatrist's office. Mr. Peabody is turning fifty. Everyone seems to remind him of this. On a vacation he captures a mermaid. So he says. However everyone else decides it is the "fifty" thing except the psychiatrist that wants to know what test line he used when he snagged her. Be sure ... Read More

5.Band of Angels starring: Clark Gable, Yvonne De Carlo, Sidney Poitier, Efrem Zimbalist Jr., Rex Reason directed by: Raoul Walsh July 07, 1994
Average Rating: >>More Details		Used Price: $2.54
Band of Angels: the acting is passable, not fantastic, but fair enough for a B-Movie. The sets & costumes are wonderful to look at, which is the main reason I'm giving this one 3 stars. The story is entertaining to the end, so in that respect, this is worth seeing at least once. The one actress holding this movie back was Yvonne de Carlo. She's much too old for the part, and not at all believable as being "mulatto" or "quadroon." At times its painful watching her struggle with her lines. They should have cast an actress who was truly of mixed-race to play the part, and a much younger one at that. Then maybe this film would sing the way it was intended. Overall Band of Angels struck me as a dime-store romance novel transported to film.

Average Rating: >>More Details		Used Price: $18.09
This is a very good movie and I would like to see it put on DVD so it does not deteriorate. Sincerely, Joan Tupper

8.Hollywood Canteen starring: Laverne Andrews, Maxene Andrews, Patty Andrews, Jack Benny, Joe E. Brown directed by: Delmer Daves September 01, 1998
Average Rating: >>More Details		Used Price: $21.99
Remember when Hollywood used to care about our boys fighting overseas? Remember when a Star would gladly pose for a picture with a fan? Remember when a Star would sign as many autographs as possible? Remember the good' ole days. That's what "Hollywood Canteen" is about. "Hollywood Canteen" is a star-studded blockbuster from the 1940's. It revolves around two fictional characters that are on leave in Hollywood. What's there to do in the meantime? Well, go to the "Hollywood Canteen," of course! Many of Hollywood's biggest starts of the 40's work at the "Hollywood Canteen." They entertain and serve the service boys. This was Joan Crawford's first picture with Warners after her 18 year tenure with MGM abruptly ended. But, Joanie doesn't have ... Read More

9.Columbo: Prescription for Murder (The Premiere Collection) starring: Peter Falk, Gene Barry, Katherine Justice, William Windom, Nina Foch directed by: Richard Irving January 01, 1998
Average Rating: >>More Details		Used Price: $4.46
This was Columbo at his best. Long trenchcoat in LA, broken down car, can't remember his pencil, scratches his head, almost out the door before coming back to ask "Oh yeah, and one more thing"... These are just a few of the things this iconic character does to lead his prey right into the trap. Columbo always gets his man and you should buy this premier episode.

10.Beast With Five Fingers starring: Robert Alda, Andrea King, Peter Lorre, Victor Francen, J. Carrol Naish directed by: Robert Florey September 01, 1998
Average Rating: >>More Details		Used Price: $9.95
The Beast with Five Fingers (Robert Florey, 1946) 1946 was the last year Peter Lorre worked for Warner Brothers, and his parting from the company was career suicide; while he remains one of the world's most famous actors, endlessly imitated and paid tribute, from his parting with Warner Brothers until his death in 1964, Lorre picked up only the odd film here and there (though some of them are truly excellent) and some TV guest appearances. Thus it is that The Beast with Five Fingers is something of a bittersweet film for the nostalgia buff; it is a great Lorre performance, but it marked the beginning of the end. Set in the late nineteenth century in northern Italy, The Beast with Five Fingers is the tale of Frances Ingram (Victor Francen), a pianist with a rather motley crew of eccentrics living with him. There's ... Read More
