VHS : Red River
A great genre film is not necessarily a great piece of cinema, for the dictates of genre often run counter to the dictates of art; namely that genre demands familiar elements (aka clichés). As good an example of this dictum that can be found is director Howard Hawks' 1948 (although filmed in 1946) black and white western Red River. There is great debate amongst western aficionados as to who was the greater director of westerns, John Ford or Howard Hawks? Well, if one compares the two westerns most consider the two directors' apexes in the genre, Ford's The Searchers and this film, it's no contest. Red River and Hawks win in a walk. That's because Hawks was basically concerned with narrative and characters while Ford obsessed over myth making and caricatures. Even Ford tacitly admitted Hawks ... Read More

VHS : Inherit the Wind
This is an excellent adaption of a great American play, although a bit over-acted, especially by Fredric March. There is absolutely nothing subtle about his performance. I also found Gene Kelly's performance to be quite good. I think his character should be found to be just as annoying as March's, just as self-righteous in his own way. The ending of the movie is one of my favorites... with Drummond slapping the 2 books together as 1 when he walks out. That to me is the most important message of the movie, that science and religion can work together.

Its been a long time since I saw this movie but I was disappointed when Jo Don Baker was replaced by Bo Svensen. Also I would liketosee it released in DVD format.

The little theater is doing a version of this after Christmas so I wanted to see the movie first. If I was younger and could sing I would audition!

But it will be interesting to see how the play compares to the screen version!

7.Fastest Gun Alive starring: Glenn Ford, Jeanne Crain, Broderick Crawford, Russ Tamblyn, Allyn Joslyn

VHS : Fastest Gun Alive
Glenn Ford played everything from a school teacher, a preacher, to an Aircraft carrier commander. But the western is where he made his name as far a public popularity! "The Fastest Gun Alive" rates up there with "Heaven With A Gun" and "The Last Challenge." All three of these Glenn Ford westerns are definitely worth the time, but this is not only my favorite of the three, it's my all time favorite of Glenn's classic work. The story grabs your attention from the very outset and just gets better as it moves to the end, which has a neat twist to it!
If you're a western fan, you won't be disappointed with this one!

This movie to me will always be a Classic. Based on a true story how one man can make a difference. The newer version of this appears better because of the updates..However, the newer version just doesn't seem to grab my heartstrings or make me feel the emotion as I did with the original movie. I am glad to have this classic in my home now.
