1.Great Caruso starring: Mario Lanza, Ann Blyth, Dorothy Kirsten, Jarmila Novotna, Richard Hageman directed by: Richard Thorpe December 04, 1992
Average Rating: >>More Details		Used Price: $1.79
This is a highly fictionaliased and heavily sentimental portrait of the great operatic tenor .It is lavishly mounted and has many popular ingredients which all helped in making it a major commercial hit in its day. There is the rags to riches nature of the story as Enrico Caruso rises from poverty on the back streets of Naples to becoming the darling of New York society ,overcoming the death of his mother while still a child and building a carrer in the opera houses of Europe before his US debut.There is the theme of his falling in love with a scion of New York society ,in the face of unbending parental disapproval .There are lots of popular operatic arias and a strong dose of religiosity ,with the Bach -Gounoud "Ave Marie" a particular standout ..for those with more populist taste ...

4.Torn Curtain starring: Julie Andrews, Linda Carol (III), Rico Cattani, Carolyn Conwell, Ludwig Donath March 01, 1992
Average Rating: >>More Details		Used Price: $0.90
"Torn Curtain" stars Paul Newman as Professor Michael Armstrong, an American scientist who defects to East Germany when Washington does not support his "Gamma-5" project. He planned to keep his defection secret from his girlfriend/assistant Sarah Sherman (Julie Andrews). When Sarah discovers a message intended for Michael, she decides to follow him behind the Iron Curtain. Later, when he reveals to Sarah his true intentions for coming to East Germany, it is an exciting chase for them to escape with their lives. The film seems to have all the necessary ingredients to make a classic Hitchcock political thriller, right? Yes and no. The film has some very suspenseful qualities, but it has its flaws,too. The best moments in the film are the nail-biting and eerily silent museum sequence, the gruesome murder ... Read More

5.Jolson Sings Again starring: Larry Parks, Barbara Hale, William Demarest, Ludwig Donath, Bill Goodwin directed by: Henry Levin June 24, 1994
Average Rating: >>More Details		Used Price: $1.15
This is a very nice classic film, Larry Parks sets a perfect preformance off Al Jolson.

6.Hangmen Also Die starring: Brian Donlevy, Walter Brennan, Hans Heinrich von Twardowski, Anna Lee, Nana Bryant directed by: Fritz Lang June 27, 2000
Average Rating: >>More Details		Used Price: $5.99
One of the finest anti-Nazi thrillers to emerge from the WWII period, Lang's noirish approach to the propaganda film involves cloak-and-dagger intrigue, sinister interrogations, and plenty of light-and-shadow atmospherics, courtesy of camera great James Wong Howe. Such elements were second nature to German ex-pat Lang, director of "M" and "The Big Heat," and his impeccable direction of numerous character actors--a cab driver (Lionel Stander) and a fruit merchant (Sarah Padden), in particular--adds to the visceral power of this story of resistance. Brennan is also excellent playing against type as a radical patriot. See "Hangmen" or die trying.

7.Sirocco starring: Humphrey Bogart, Lee J. Cobb, Märta Torén, Everett Sloane, Gerald Mohr directed by: Curtis Bernhardt August 06, 1996
Average Rating: >>More Details		Used Price: $3.05
Bogart seemed destined for a painful end as he plied his despicable trade in a tale set in French-occupied Damascus around 1925... Casting his lot between the French and Syrians, depending upon which suits his own greedy plan most profitably, he earns the enmity of both sides... There were good supporting performances by Lee J. Cobb, thumping his desk as usual as a French colonel, and Everett Sloane as a volatile general, but the film was of little consequence and a sorry end to Bogart's solo production credits... "Sirocco" remains a tedious romantic drama in the "Casablanca" vein but with none of the magic...
