1.Getting Gertie's Garter starring: Dennis O'Keefe, Marie McDonald, Barry Sullivan, Binnie Barnes, Sheila Ryan directed by: Allan Dwan September 01, 1998
Average Rating: >>More Details		Used Price: $7.45
Marie McDonald is criticized. True I haven't seen her performance in Living in a Big Way which most people call horrid. But in this she's pretty good. Dennis O'Keefe plays a man whose been summoned to court to bring forth a garter he bought back a couple of years ago. Only he gave it to old girlfriend Marie McDonald and they spend the whole movie trying to hide this secret from others. The joke died down by the last twenty minutes. Another problem with the movie is that there is no chemistry between the wife played by Sheila Ryan and Dennis O'Keefe. But there is between Dennis and Marie. Marie wears some outfits that say why she was called "the body." She also hums a tune that makes you understand why she was once a Tommy Dorsey singer. There is a good surreal scene in a courtroom as well.

2.Madam Satan starring: Earl Askam, Tyler Brooke, Albert Conti, Rina De Liguoro, Reginald Denny September 01, 1998

I think most reviewers of this film are missing the point of this bedroom farce, namely that during the early years of the talkie, the studios were desperate to hold onto their audiences; plus they were all experimenting with the new media. Many stars that one doesn't associate with the musical genre took part in the musical mania of the era, such as George Raft, John Wayne, etc. Plus this was the era of experimental color, the two-strip technicolor process, with added hand tinting. So one will see some unusual to us now, pairings of stars and genres not "nor- mally" together. One has to also get used to the transitional phase of acting on camera to the new technology of sound, and in 1930, this was a bare three years old!!!!!!!!!!!! ... Read More

3.Where There's Life starring: Bob Hope, Signe Hasso, William Bendix, George Coulouris, Vera Marshe directed by: Sidney Lanfield October 08, 2002
Average Rating: >>More Details		Used Price: $2.38
In his long film career comedian Bob Hope always appeared in movies with vastly different settings whether it be in the Wild West, Haunted Houses, or the Spanish Main however never once did he stray too far from his well known characterisation of the lovable, fast talking coward caught up in a situation he'd rather not be part of. "Paramount's "Where There's Life", from 1947 continues that winning formula where Bob plays Michael Valentine a fast talking late night Disc Jockey who's claim to fame is peddling a certain brand of dog food on air who it is discovered is the long lost heir to a kingdom somewhere in Europe who might just be in need of his services. The hilarity of Hope as the wise guy suddenly finding himself the centre of international intrigue complete with cold blooded spies, kidnapping attempts, ... Read More
