2.The Gene Krupa Story / Movie starring: Sal Mineo, Susan Kohner, James Darren, Susan Oliver, Yvonne Craig directed by: Don Weis June 23, 1994
Average Rating: >>More Details		Used Price: $29.99
Sal Mineo plays big band drummer Gene Krupa from his early days playing in speakeasies to later fame with Jimmy Dorsey's orchestra, followed by his scandalous arrest on drug charges and subsequent black-listing. Mineo is outstanding as the dynamic drummer, capturing his wild, pounding style, stick-syncing to Krupa's actual playing. Handsome James Darren (Gidget) sings a few songs as Gene's stalwart pal and almost steals the show. Susan Kohner gives a strong performance as Gene's long-time girlfriend and future wife. This bio pic is melodramatic and predictable and has the look of the fifties instead of the thirties, but it's still quite enjoyable thanks to the good actors and electrifying drum solos.

3.Dino starring: Sal Mineo, Brian Keith, Susan Kohner, Frank Faylen, Joe De Santis directed by: Thomas Carr January 01, 1998
Average Rating: >>More Details		Used Price: $35.99
Sal Mineo was such a natural, brilliant & original talent who was never truly appreciated during his short lifetime, and who only got a few roles that really gave a glimpse into what an awesomely emotional & provocative actor he was! I have been a fan of his since about 24 yrs ago, when I first saw "Rebel Without A Cause" and really paid attention to it! Ever since then, I have compiled his performances from "Giant", "Exodus", "The Gene Krupa Story", "Somebody Up There Likes Me",and long for the day when his other groundbreaking performance in "Who Killed Teddy Bear" will be released to DVD! A freind told me about this movie "Dino" that he did back in his hey-dey of the ... Read More

4.By Love Possessed (1961) starring: Lana Turner, Jason Robards, Efrem Zimbalist Jr., George Hamilton, Susan Kohner directed by: John Sturges September 01, 1998
Average Rating: >>More Details		Used Price: $9.48
Had it not been based on a best-selling novel, this would surely have been titled By Lana Possessed, since it's the saga of one of those steamy Saturday nights when an otherwise respectable father and son (Efrem Zimbalist, Jr., and George Hamilton) both succumb to their baser instincts and try to make time with aging "Sweater Girl" Lana Turner. The movie neatly combines the two pressing questions posed by most Bad Movies We Love, circa 1960: "What happens when animal passion rears its head in a small New England town?" and "Can Lana be had?" (The answers are respectively, "Someone's gotta die for out sins" and "You betcha.") Turner is cast as hard-drinking Marjorie, unhappily married to gimp lawyer Jason Robards, Jr. As Robards tells partner Zimbalist, "There are two Marjories. Marjorie `A' ... Read More

5.To Hell and Back starring: Audie Murphy, Marshall Thompson, Charles Drake, Jack Kelly, Gregg Palmer directed by: Jesse Hibbs
Average Rating: >>More Details		Used Price: $9.97
Being an avid reader of military history, and knowing someone with eyewitness knowledge of Audie Murphy's wartime exploits. I'd categorize the film as being fairly true to the autobiographical book, even if a bit "Hollywoodized" by a theme song written for especially the film, and by the sometimes hokey acting of Murphy's supporting characters. Murphy was, indeed, a hero. A hero who saw and experienced indescribable horror while still in his late teens. His persona was forged by many months of combat, and his eyes - the eyes of a man who'd seen too much - reflected that in all his films. I recommend the film as entertainment, and also as a piece of history. The story of a man from "The Greatest Generation" who gave so much. Perhaps too much.
