1.Strategic Air Command starring: James Stewart, June Allyson, Frank Lovejoy, Barry Sullivan, Alex Nicol

VHS : Strategic Air Command
Dutch Holland (James Stewart) was in the Air Force during WWII, but once his term was over, he picked up his old life again and joined a baseball league. He even got married to a beautiful and loving woman named Sally (June Allyson). One day, just when things are looking good for the family, he's asked to leave his job and join the Air Force again. Sally doesn't think he will, but he agrees quickly and loves his job. Despite the danger involved with flying, Dutch takes to it like a duck in water. He soon becomes in charge of his own crew, much to the chagrin of his wife.

This movie boasts its airplanes quite a lot and its popular cast not as much. In fact, Stewart requested to make this movie because of his own time in the Air Force during the war. He is excellent in the film, ... Read More

VHS : Julie
1956's "Julie" stars Doris Day, Louis Jourdan, Barry Sullivan, and Frank Lovejoy. Parts of the plot aren't exactly brimming over with realism, but this black-and-white thriller/suspense drama remains one of my favorite Doris Day pictures.

Doris portrays "Julie Benton", a woman who suddenly realizes her husband is a murderer. Jourdan plays the obsessive husband, who (it seems) will go to any lengths to track down and do away with the scared-stiff Mrs. Benton.

Both Day and Jourdan do a nice job in this film, IMO, but Sullivan is a tad bit on the "cardboard" side here (playing a friend of Julie's who tries to get her out of harm's way). Jourdan, though, is quite creepy and believable as "Lyle Benton", whose "bent on" (~wink~) seeing Julie suffer.

Doris is an airline ... Read More

VHS : Tell Them Willie Boy Is Here
***** 1969. Adapted from Harry Lawton's Tell Them Willie Boy is Here, this film was written and directed by Abraham Polonsky. A brand new zone 2 DVD of it is now available at Amazon.fr in a pristine copy. Texas, 1909. American Indian Willie Boy is hunted by sheriff Robert Redford in the desert. Both will lose there their last illusions. One can either enjoy this western as a powerful drama or appreciate the way Abraham Polonsky comments one of the rare American myths. A masterpiece that needs to be seen at least twice to be fully understood.

VHS : Kung Fu
This movie and the DVD series of Seasons one, two and three, from the original T.V. show are a Must See. The lessons learned from them are integrating themselves into my life and creating permanent, positive changes. I heartily recommend everyone watch them, even if you saw the series 30 years ago. The lessons in life, if taken, will positively change your life forever. By the way, David Carradine is fantastic. No one could ever match his performance in such a role.

VHS : A Gathering of Eagles

I liked the movie. I was in it when it was filmed at Beale AFB, CA
in 1963. I was a Security Policeman on the flight line and we, as
well as our aircrews and missle crews were used as background players.
SAC, with a little human dramatization, was pretty well portrayed with
the ORI (Operational Readiness Inspection) which typically hit about 2 AM
as a No Notice inspection by 15th Air Force.
When the end of the movie came and they showed a missle launch crew,
it was filmed at a Titan I site, and the launch crew and their dialogue
was real. They were not actors.
I would like to see this movie made into a DVD. I used to rent until
I got one that ruined my VCR after use by another renter who damaged the
tape and of course ... Read More

VHS : Skirts Ahoy
This movie isn't terribly accurate as to actual Boot Camp life, but it was filmed at Great Lakes Naval Station about 10 years before I was stationed there in 1962-3. The barracks, the furnishings, everything in the background shots look just the way they did when I was there. I thoroughly enjoy this movie everytime I watch it just for the memories!

This is one of Stephen King's really good movies. Christopher Walken is great. You really don't know what's going to happen next. And a great ending.

VHS : Queen Bee
The South must hold the monopoly in bitter, fractured families. In QUEEN BEE, based on the novel by Edna Lee, every member of the Phillips family has their own axe to grind...and it all stems from matriarch Eva (played brilliantly by Joan Crawford). Eva manipulates everyone around her with precision skill. In a loveless marriage with alcoholic husband Avery (Barry Sullivan), Eva is also dallying with her cousin's fiancee (John Ireland). When Eva's distant relation Jennifer Stewart (Lucy Marlow) comes to live with the Phillips clan, Eva's "sweet sting" soon infects her as well. The machinations continue as Eva twists the lives of her family members until they all shatter.

Joan Crawford lets the venom flow with her masterly performance as Eva, the queen bee of the title. Dressed in some gorgeous Jean Louis ... Read More

VHS : Woman of the Town
This film is a real treat for fans of Claire Trevor. It's a wonderful old oater and a great story.

Bat Masterson(Albert Dekker), now an old newspaper man, sits behind the desk at his job in New York. The year is 1919 and a gun collector is interested in obtaining the guns that cleaned up Dodge City when Masterson was Marshal. Masterson, has long since buried his guns in the Boot Hill Cemetery, and he takes us back 50 years earlier to tell us the story.

Dodge City...Newly appointed as Marshal, Masterson meets Dora Hand(Trevor), a charming saloon singer with a heart of gold. Bat's first order of business though, is to save the town from cattle kingpin, King Kennedy. Kennedy and his men have control over the town, and Kennedy also turns out to be a rival to Masterson for Dora's affection(although neither ... Read More
