VHS : Juarez
The 1939 film "Juarez" depicts the debacle of the French attempt to establish hegemony in Mexico under the auspices of Maximilian von Habsburg. The unlikely combination of characters involved in the fiasco shows that once again truth is stranger than fiction. Louis-Napoleon Bonaparte, styling himself as Emperor of the French, was the master manipulator of the affair which sent the Austrian Archduke Maximilian to his doom. Maximilian's consort was the intelligent and mercurial Charlotte (Carlota) of Belgium, a granddaughter of Louis-Philippe, the Citizen-King. Although "Juarez" is a simplification of an extremely complicated series of events, it brings to life the historical reality of such fascinating characters coming together.

I personally think that the film was misnamed; it should have ... Read More

VHS : Sylvia Scarlett
Sylvia Scarlett starts with the death of a mother and a father (Edmund Gwenn) whose debt will leave him in jail. He plans to leave his daugther Syliva (Katharine Hepburn) behind, but she insists on keeping the family together and cuts her hair so she can disguise herself as a boy named Sylvester. It is this way that the duo leaves and stumbles upon a con artist (Cary Grant) who joins with them to make money. Sylvia's conscience gets the best of her and she refuses to go along with the con any longer, so along with her new stepmother (Bunny Beatty), her father, and the con artist, they form a traveling acting troupe. In one town, she meets a man she falls in love with (Brian Aherne) even though he thinks she's a boy and even though he's involved with a glamourous blonde.

As interesting as the story ... Read More

VHS : I Live My Life
"I Live My Life" is one of Joan's very best love stories from the 1930's. Joan plays Kay Bently, a socialite who tries to make a relationship with an archaeologist. I really like this movie because although it is similar to those typical love-story/love-triangles that MGM/Joan did, it also seems unique and very original. The performances by all are second to none. This movie came out 4 months after Joan's other picture from 1935, the hard-to-find, "No More Ladies."

VHS : Lady in Question
A charming, cute movie, the first to pair Rita Hayworth and Glenn Ford, directed by Charles Vidor. Brian Aherne is funny and touching as Andre Morestan, the family man who finds himself a jury member on the case of young Natalie Roguin (Hayworth) accused of murdering her lover. After she is acquitted, Andre takes pity on the poor girl and gives her a job in his bicycle shop, as well as providing room and board, but concealing her true identity from his family. His son, Pierre (Ford), however, knows who she is as he stole into the courthouse one day during the trial. His obvious attraction to her is sweetly presented, with his clattering case of butterfingers. Only when he begins to suspect that she is having an affair with his father, does he reveal that he knows her true identity. After the misunderstanding is cleared up, ... Read More

VHS : Beloved Enemy
Beloved Enemy is a fictional story based on when Britian occupied Ireland. It's supposed to be about the Irish
resistance.
Basic storyline:
The British are trying to put an end to the resistance, and
there is a particular Irish leader who they are trying to catch
and they don't even what he looks like. A British official comes, bringing his daughter with him. His daughter meets an Irish man who she falls in love with, but finds out he is the resistance leader her people are seeking to arrest. Their differences make it hard for them as she is closely watched. The two countries seek for peace and...
well, that's the basic story.
It's supposed to be about the resistance but I think it's mainly just a romance story.

VHS : Best of Everything
I haven't seen this film in sometime, which is why I decided to just get myself a copy. With Joan Crawford, Hope Lange, Stephen Boyd, Brian Aherne, Suzy Parker, Diane Baker, Martha Hyer and Louis Jourdan (just to name a few) in the cast....you can't go wrong. Somewhat dated since there is NO computer at all in the film (smile). Each character is so good and strong. Without going into alot of detail and spoiling it for others....I like how it ended very much. Great writing, script...everything is so well done. I plan on watching this tape quite a bit. It's also nice seeing Stephen Boyd in a 'romantic' role, as I'll always remember him as 'Messala' w/the late Charlton Heston in "Ben Hur".

Once Upon a Time in Hollywood: From the Secret Files of Harry Pennypacker
Shadow Watcher
Nobody Drowns in Mineral Lake

This 1953 version of the 1912 sea tragedy may not have the spectacular special effects that enhanced the 1997 James Cameron movie, but it is still an excellent film with strong performances by an top cast, headed by Clifton Webb, Barbara Stanwyck, Robert Wagner and Thelma Ritter.

Determined to remove her family from the superficial European high society world in which her husband (Webb) is engrossed, Stanwyck takes her son and daughter back to America, booking passage on the Titanic. Webb follows to retrieve his family, only to learn a shocking truth before the disaster occurs.

The film won the Oscar for Best Writing, Story and Screenplay, and is directed by ... Read More

VHS : Prince Valiant
I was fourteen the first I saw this movie when it was broadcast on NBC Monday Night At The Movies. Having fallen in love with the character when I was five [fifty-five years ago] and reading the comic strip in the Sunday paper, I was quite excited when it came on TV and not dissapointed.
Today, I got my copy of the dvd. I don't care what anyone else has to say, the movie is still as dreamily perfect as I remember it. I LOVE the bonus of widesceen. The color and sound are so very good. It is wonderful.
