1.Rebecca of Sunnybrook Farm starring: Shirley Temple, Randolph Scott, Jack Haley, Gloria Stuart, Phyllis Brooks directed by: Allan Dwan August 28, 2001
Average Rating: >>More Details		Used Price: $0.50
What fun to curl up and watch a clean, uplifting movie again. I loved all of the Shirley Temple movies as a child and 50 years later, I still do! Of course, now I can watch them in color!

2.In Old Chicago starring: Tyrone Power, Alice Faye, Don Ameche, Alice Brady, Andy Devine directed by: Henry King May 04, 1994
Average Rating: >>More Details		Used Price: $1.97
After years of being only available in a cut 94-minute version, this Fox Classics DVD includes both that and the original roadshow version - with interesting results. In its uncut 110-minute roadshow version, In Old Chicago plays like an even more obvious ripoff of San Francisco, merely substituting Tyrone Power, Don Ameche, Alice Faye and the Chicago fire for Clark Gable, Spencer Tracey, Jeanette MacDonald and the San Francisco earthquake and adding more twee Oirish antics than are healthy. The musical numbers are a step down too, particularly Faye's rendition of Carry Me Back to Old Virginny complete with `massa' lyrics, and the finale isn't as grand on screen as it is in your memory: the scenes of the crowds of refugees on the banks tend to be far more effective than the backlot chaos. Still, ... Read More

3.Little Miss Broadway starring: Shirley Temple, George Murphy, Jimmy Durante, Phyllis Brooks, Edna May Oliver directed by: Irving Cummings March 12, 2002
Average Rating: >>More Details		Used Price: $1.43
Betsy (Shirley Temple) is a little orphan girl who knows that the world should just all "smile, smile! Smile and be happy!" Her cheery attitude gets her adopted into a theatrical family who resides at a hotel, but the landlady wants her money, and the troupe has none. Fortunately for Betsy, the landlady's nephew (George Murphy) is sympathetic to their cause and wants to help. Little Miss Broadway is pleasant but standard. The story is absolutely unimportant; the stars are really the highlight. One of the most exciting things about this movie is the brilliant supporting cast, a bunch of character actors with plenty of personality. The most famous one is Jimmy Durante whose trademark nose and gravelly voice are just foundation for smiles. Donald Meek and Edna Mae Oliver play well ... Read More

4.Real Life starring: James L. Brooks, Barbara DeZonia, Dudley DeZonia, Clifford Einstein, Harry Einstein January 01, 1998
Average Rating: >>More Details		Used Price: $3.98
Anyone who is into that whole 'Simpson's' style of humor should really enjoy this. A movie way ahead of it's time, it features Albert Brooks as a semi-psychotic filmmaker who is making a movie about Charles Grodin and his family. There are so many comedic bits that work here; The tension between Albert and the Black journalist Dr Cleery is hilarious; The scene with the show horse works quite nicely, as does Brooks sudden singing at the start of the film. For those who appreciate Brook's unique sense of humor, I can't imagine you would find fault. And for a movie that was made in the late 70's, it's still funnier than stuff that came out last week. Harry Shearer contributed to the script, stars, and offers his voice to the radio playing in Charles Grodin's car. Grodin is in top form here, too. Constantly depressed('She ... Read More

7.Slightly Honorable starring: Eve Arden, Edward Arnold, Janet Beecher, Phyllis Brooks, Cliff Clark March 04, 2004
Average Rating: >>More Details		Used Price: $1.59
The opening joke, immediately after the credits, is great! And the exposition anticipates Bogart's IN A LONELY PLACE by several years, except the wrong female gets murdered. Broderick Crawford provides an easy-going, endearing performance without a hint of his later lockjaw screen personality. And the supporting cast--especially the adult women--are fine. But this attempt to combine Sturges satire, screwball comedy, and "My Friend Irma" is done in by the irritating, obnoxious heroine of the piece who keeps popping up when one wishes she'd be shutting up. The Irma-esque caricature is utterly unfunny and, repeatedly identifying herself as nearly jail-bait age, her romance with the much older O'Brien is as irrational as it is disturbing. And what happens to Eve Arden is an unpleasant shock as well.

8.Shanghai Gesture starring: Gene Tierney, Walter Huston, Victor Mature, Ona Munson, Phyllis Brooks directed by: Josef von Sternberg August 31, 1999

Odd flowers come to mind. The Shanghai Gesture seems like another of Josef von Sternberg's ripely fetid orchids, fascinating to observe but which can leave a nasty smell in your nose if you take a sniff. No, perhaps it's like a pitcher plant from the Discovery Channel, cut open so we can watch a fly slide down into a sweet smelling pool of liquid and then be slowly digested while it struggles for life. Wow, that purple prose is almost as good as some of what von Sternberg comes up with. He might have been a master of mise en scene, whatever that catch-all phrase may mean, but his movies can be so ripe, lush and oblivious to what makes a good movie that in some perverse way at least a handful of his films are still interesting. The Scarlet Empress, for example, is so over the top with such a sly and amusingly lewd performance by Marlene Dietrich that ... Read More
