Average Rating: >>More Details		Used Price: $21.50
This VHS tape is blank...Back Street Thumbs down on this seller. I am very dissatisfied. I have bought many used items through Amazon and always had very good results with other sellers. I wrote to the seller and did not get a response. I asked for details on returns and no response. I asked for a refund and no response. Do not purchase from this seller. I am still waiting for action to be taken to resolve this issue. I rate this BAD (no stars). I hope Amazon can help me with this problem.

2.Rosalie starring: Nelson Eddy, Eleanor Powell, Frank Morgan, Edna May Oliver, Ray Bolger directed by: W.S. Van Dyke February 24, 1995
Average Rating: >>More Details		Used Price: $11.90
This movie begs ti be transferred on DVD! If Warner doesnt want to re-release her movies as singles at least give us a best of Eleanor Powell on DVD!

3.Madame X (1966) starring: Lana Turner, John Forsythe, Ricardo Montalban, Burgess Meredith, John Van Dreelen directed by: David Lowell Rich January 01, 1998
Average Rating: >>More Details		Used Price: $2.50
So many people seem to like this film - Madame X. I don't. I 've seen it on television and am glad I never saw it in a theater in 1966. The cast is excellent (Lana Turner, John Forsythe, Burgess Meredith, Ricardo Montalban, Joan Whats-Her-Name)but the plot and the schmaltzy dialogue plus the tear-jerking conclusion leave me laughing and that's it. Why was this movie made ? And as late as 1966. This is a 1940'-50's film, in my opinion, and outdated by the Sixties. But so many people seem to like it. Sentimentality. Sob, sob, sob......You can have Madame X. This should have been made as a farce....

4.All That Heaven Allows starring: Jane Wyman, Rock Hudson, Agnes Moorehead, Conrad Nagel, Virginia Grey directed by: Douglas Sirk February 17, 1998
Average Rating: >>More Details		Used Price: $6.99
"All That Heaven Allows" is a 1950s sudser that can be watched on a couple of levels. First and foremost is the entertainment value. Jane Wyman is so terrific playing widow Carrie Scott. Within the first twenty minutes of the movie, three different suitors move in on her. The most intriguing, and from the perfect 1950s standpoint, the most unconventional, is her landscaper, Ron Kirby. Ron is younger. Material wealth means nothing to him, preferring to spend his time with his trees, living Thoreau rather than just reading him. Carrie eventually gives in to temptation and the suburban milieu she skates over is in an uproar. Tongues wag, and her children are shamed: A gardener, Mom! Perish the thought! Let's get you a television instead! It's a soap opera, of course, but also, on a deeper level, an indictment ... Read More

5.Test Pilot starring: Clark Gable, Myrna Loy, Spencer Tracy, Lionel Barrymore, Samuel S. Hinds directed by: Victor Fleming June 30, 1994
Average Rating: >>More Details		Used Price: $12.97
It is a simple story, really. Jim (Clark Gable) and Gunner (Spencer Tracy) are test pilots. They risk their lives for thrills and a quick buck. Jim loves women and Gunner loves Jim. Howard Drake (Lionel Barrymore) is their mentor, and he knows them through and through. He doesn't quite believe it when Jim marries Ann (Myrna Loy), a farmgirl from Kansas, but over time he realizes the true bond they have with each other. It is too bad Jim will never lose his love for the sky and the adrenaline rush he gets when he flies. This weak storyline is carried off with great effect by the excellent cast. MGM boasted that it had more stars than were in the heavens, and they knew how to exhibit them. Gable is brash and masculine in his role, the perfect ladies man. Loy plays the part she always played, the perfect wife ... Read More

6.Whistling in the Dark (1941) starring: Red Skelton, Conrad Veidt, Ann Rutherford, Virginia Grey, Rags Ragland directed by: S. Sylvan Simon September 01, 1998
Average Rating: >>More Details		Used Price: $10.80
Whistling In the Dark (1941) is one of my favorite films. Red Skelton is excellent in his first leading role as is the entire cast. Red plays Wally Benton, a radio detective named the Fox who writes his own crime stories. The extremely beautiful and foxy Ann Rutherford is his girlfriend Carol Lambert who appears on the radio shows with him. Eve Arden plays Wally's agent and Conrad Veidt is the leader of a cult that is in dire need of a perfect murder plot. The light-hearted thrills, laughs and fun start from there and never let you down. Be forewarned, this film is in black and white but don't let that stop you. Two sequels followed, Whistling In Dixie (1942) and Whistling In Brooklyn(1943), to complete the "Fox Trilogy." If you view all three in order notice the interesting development of the Rags Ragland ... Read More

7.The Women starring: Norma Shearer, Joan Crawford, Rosalind Russell, Mary Boland, Paulette Goddard directed by: George Cukor June 25, 1996
Average Rating: >>More Details		Used Price: $3.00
I fell in love with this movie the first time I saw it. It wasn't until the end that it hit me -- there were no men in the actual scenes. Men were the main subject, but it was all women. A great cast of women from the 30's & 40's. The costumes are great (what it must have looked like in color when they filmed it -- wow!). This is one of my favorite films.

8.Bachelor in Paradise starring: Bob Hope, Lana Turner, Janis Paige, Jim Hutton, Paula Prentiss directed by: Jack Arnold March 02, 1994
Average Rating: >>More Details		Used Price: $22.00
I saw this at the walk-in in the 60s when I was a little tyke and just loved it. I saw it on TV in the 90s and since I was living in Southern California I knew where the hood was so I searched one day and I found the house! It is in Calabasas right off the 101 and Mulholland Highway. I loved the finned cars and the gorgeous women. Damn, that Bob Hope was one lucky Bachelor. When it comes out on DVD I will buy it.

9.Unconquered starring: Ward Bond, Virginia Campbell, Gary Cooper, Howard Da Silva, Katherine DeMille March 28, 1995
Average Rating: >>More Details		Used Price: $3.80
An excellent movie with Gary Cooper and Paulette Goddard. Funny seeing Boris Karloff as the Seneca chief. After several years trying to find this movie on DVD, it was fantastic to finally find it in this format. A definite must-buy for lovers of American history.

10.Rose Tattoo starring: Anna Magnani, Burt Lancaster, Marisa Pavan, Ben Cooper, Virginia Grey directed by: Daniel Mann January 01, 1998
Average Rating: >>More Details		Used Price: $1.88
Burt Lancaster is one of my all-time favorite actors. But it is painful to watch him in this movie. His terrible accent jumps between Sicily and the Bronx. He is "Elmer Gantry" without the proper role or dialogue to match his performance or ability. He is terribly miscast and unconvincing as Alvaro to Anna Magnani's Serafina. It is no coincidence that for a movie that won three Oscars and received an additional five nominations Lancaster received no recogniton whatsoever from the Academy. He is as convincing an Italian as Donald Trump would be if he tried to act like a modest man. Magnani won the academy award as Best Actress for her performance in a very bad year for movies (1955). In "The Rose Tattoo" she merely bounces from one emotional outburst to the next, screaming and yelling in each scene. She ... Read More
