1.Omar Khayyam starring: Cornel Wilde, Michael Rennie, Debra Paget, John Derek, Raymond Massey directed by: William Dieterle November 11, 1998
Average Rating: >>More Details		Used Price: $7.95
Let's face it--most people (not all) want to see this, to see the beautiful and extraordinarily talented Yma Sumac. She is included in the cast credits (even touted) yet she is in it all of a few seconds. I agree with the other reviewer, she was featured no more than an any extra. And other than her, the movie isn't so interesting. What is somewhat ironic about this, is that Sumac's only other U.S. film, "Secret of the Incas" is not at all interesting except for her parts, as well! In truth, it was she, not Paramount, who decided she would do no more films.

2.The Glass Key starring: Alan Ladd, Veronica Lake, Brian Donlevy, Bonita Granville, Richard Denning directed by: Stuart Heisler March 01, 1992
Average Rating: >>More Details		Used Price: $11.28
This is one of my favorite films, and has the classic on-screen pairing of Alan Ladd and Veronica Lake. And it's not available on DVD???

3.Sullivan's Travels starring: Eric Blore, William Demarest, Byron Foulger, Robert Greig, Porter Hall March 01, 1992
Average Rating: >>More Details		Used Price: $2.49
This is a wonderful film which was the basis for O'Brother, Where Art Thou? by the Coen Brothers years later. A wealthy film director decides that his comedies are trivial and he must make an "important" film about the lowest classes in the United States. He poses as a hobo and travels California to get to know the lowest classes, at one point meeting Veronica Lake. His lark takes a turn towards reality when he loses his money and ID and ends up truly living the life of a hobo including time on a chain gang.

6.Girls Town starring: Mamie Van Doren, Mel Tormé, Ray Anthony, Margaret Hayes, Paul Anka directed by: Charles F. Haas June 16, 1993
Average Rating: >>More Details		Used Price: $9.00
It's always amazed me how director Charles F. Haas managed to orchestrate the outstanding cast that he had for _Girls Town_. The amount of talent assembled for this low-budget classic is virtually unprecedented: Mamie Van Doren, Mel Torme, Ray Anthony (Mamie's real life husband during filming), Paul Anka, Gloria Talbott, Elinor Donahue, Gigi Perreau and The Platters. Mamie Van Doren's portrayal of trash-talking Silver Morgan is a "crazy, cool, fantabulous" camp classic. Van Doren's voluptuous figure is enhanced with push-up bras and padded panty girdles before it is poured into a series of revealing outfits. There's no doubt about it -- this girl puts out! Gloria Talbot and Peggy Moffitt exchange coy glances as Paul Anka sings "When Somebody Loves You", while the _Girls Town_ girls dance with each other ... Read More

9.Good Day for a Hanging starring: Fred MacMurray, Margaret Hayes, Robert Vaughn, Joan Blackman, James Drury directed by: Nathan Juran July 09, 1996
Average Rating: >>More Details		Used Price: $9.75
A town marshal is shot and killed while pursuing a group of fleeing bank robbers. Community pillar Ben Cutler (Fred MacMurray) reluctantly agrees to become the new marshal. Cutler, a member of the outlaw-chasing posse, wounds and apprehends the trigger man, bad boy Eddie `The Kid' Campbell (Robert Vaughn.) With Vaughn as a troubled youth - he never had a chance given the way he growed up - and MacMurray the middle aged, moral man at odds with the apathetic town he defends, think of GOOD DAY FOR A HANGING as a mixture of The Blackboard Jungle and High Noon, with a shady defense attorney and an extended courtroom scene thrown in for good measure. The 1950s were the decade of message westerns, or a least westerns with a social sense and an accusatory finger to point. 1959's GOOD DAY FOR A HANGING isn't as strident ... Read More

10.Carmen Jones starring: Dorothy Dandridge, Harry Belafonte, Olga James, Pearl Bailey, Joe Adams (IV) directed by: Otto Preminger
Average Rating: >>More Details		Used Price: $50.10
Dorothy Dandrige's roles went beyond that of sex symbol to being a parody of female sexuality... Carmen Jones is a powerful display of her appeal... Based on Bizet's operatic masterpiece, Otto Preminger's film is the story of a GI about to go to flying school (Harry Belafonte), a noble young man who loves the cigarette-maker Carmen very dearly... Filled with passionate songs and a first-rate supporting cast, the movie is filled with exciting musical numbers that are necessary to the film... But as impeccable and skillful the supporting cast is, this is Dandrige's magnetic star of enduring international appeal... Her Carmen is a flame of fire, isolating in a few moments the essence of her attraction... Her enigma sustained throughout a career notable for its startling changes of tempo and direction...Her shapely figure, blazing eyes, ... Read More
