VHS : Ruggles of Red Gap
Charles Laughton is sublime as Marmaduke Ruggles, long time British manservant to the Earl of Burnstead in the delightful comedy "Ruggles Of Red Gap. After years of servility Ruggles' services are won as a result of a poker bet to Egbert Floud of Red Gap, Washington played by Charlie Ruggles. Floud, a throwback to the days of the old West, is being cultured and refined while in Paris by his wife Effie played by a haughty and domineering Mary Boland.

The plan is for Ruggles to accompany the Flouds back to Red Gap. With much hidden trepidation, the genteel Laughton assents to his new assignment in the frontier like Red Gap. Egbert, who is not used to the idea of servitude treats Laughton with cordiality and equality which is unfamiliar to him.

When they arrive in Red Gap, ... Read More

VHS : Topper
Add a star (****) for the picture; subtract a star (**) for the lousy colorization. Whatever happened to the original b&w version?

Cary Grant and Constance Bennett are two recently deceased fun-loving, rich party-goers who come back to haunt the life of straight-laced banker Cosmo Topper (played by Roland Young). Bennett turns Topper's life so upside-down that he leaves his wife to have a good time with her. Of course it's all made right again before too much damage is done. The first 1/3 and the last 1/3 are the best parts; the middle part sort of drags. The picture is lots of fun. Worth a watch.

VHS : Two Faced Woman
It's striking to find out how many critics, especially in the past, condemn this film. Almost every biographer in every Garbo book comes up with a senseless list of accusations - including quotes from the Legion of Decency and the critics in December 1941, when America entered the war, to tell us that this film is no good. But it's a misjudgement. Garbo herself was disgusted with the criticisms.
TWO-FACED WOMAN is a lively and extremely interesting film and certainly no disgrace for Garbo. It's one of the Garbo films that fascinates me most, because it's her last one and because she plays a different kind of role (although she has frequently played a two-faced woman, like in "As you desire me" and "Ninotchka"). The story is very funny with excellent bits of farce. In the two-faced character of Karin/Katharine Blake/Borg, Garbo ... Read More

This is not as good as any of the other Mae West movies I have seen,
but still worth watching.

VHS : Flame of New Orleans
The Flame of New Orleans is an interesting film for Dietrich. It is a costume picture, but it is a comedy, something one would expect to see Carole Lombard in. It revolves around a gold digger (Dietrich) who masquerades as a Countess with the help of her maid (Theresa Harris) in order to secure a wealthy husband. She has had quite a past and when the man she is planning to marry (Roland Young) learns of her reputation, she pretends she has a twin cousin (see, it's really funny) to throw him off. In the meantime, a poor sailor who she almost has an encounter with learns of her secret and plans to use it to his advantage (Bruce Cabot).

It might seem like a strange film for Dietrich to star in, but she is really quite funny in this movie. She is coy and beautiful with many different costumes to wear. Her supporting cast is great too. The brilliant ... Read More
