1.Captain Horatio Hornblower starring: Gregory Peck, Virginia Mayo, Robert Beatty, Moultrie Kelsall, Terence Morgan directed by: Raoul Walsh July 07, 1994
Average Rating: >>More Details		Used Price: $1.73
This is an excelent movie! Gregory peck is inspirational and courageous in this Seafaring Saga. Star Trek Fans will here the familiar adventure fanfare and if you look closely, you will see the familiar dialoque of a Captain and Doctor. In 1807, Royal Navy Captain Horatio Hornblower (Gregory Peck), commanding the 36-gun frigate HMS Lydia, is on a lengthy secret mission to Central America. He is to provide arms and support to a megalomaniac calling himself "El Supremo" or "The Almighty" (Alec Mango) in his rebellion against Spain, an ally of Britain's enemy France during the Napoleonic Wars. As Hornblower observes to First Lieutenant Bush (Robert Beatty): "War breeds strange allies". Upon his arrival, the Englishman is told that a larger, much more powerful Spanish warship, ...

3.Best Years of Our Lives (1946) starring: Fredric March, Dana Andrews, Myrna Loy, Teresa Wright, Virginia Mayo directed by: William Wyler December 09, 1994
Average Rating: >>More Details		Used Price: $1.83
Many viewers of this great American movie -- it won seven Oscars, including Best Picture, for 1946 -- are unaware that it was based on a most unusual book-length narrative poem by MacKinlay Kantor, "Glory for Me," published in 1945. In 1970, I was a lieutenant working at the Air Force Historical Research Center. The older historians told a word-of-mouth story how the book and the movie came to be. No doubt the story had been embroidered over many years of retelling, but here's the way I heard it. In 1944, movie titan Samuel Goldwyn knew that whether the allied victory in World War II would come sooner, or later, millions of American veterans would return home. Many -- especially those with physical and psychological wounds -- would have trouble finding jobs and "readjusting." ... Read More

4.Silver Chalice starring: Virginia Mayo, Pier Angeli, Jack Palance, Paul Newman, Walter Hampden directed by: Victor Saville July 07, 1994
Average Rating: >>More Details		Used Price: $9.99
One of the worst films in this genre starring Paul Newman, Virginia Mayo, Jack Palance, Pier Angeli, Joseph Wiseman, Natalie Wood, E.G. Marshall, Lorne Greene and Alexander Scourby. The story follows the life of a Greek slave asked to craft a silver chalice to be used at the Last Supper. Horrible performances and direction all around except for Jack Palance as Simon the Magician: I would give the film a -100 if Palance weren't in it. Given the dialogue and direction, it's immediately evident that those involved knew little about antiquity or anything about film making in general. The horribly fake backdrops leave the impression of a bad play rather than a movie. This is the film on which Paul Newman commented that it would be his last appearance in sandals and a cocktail dress: I'd be ashamed ... Read More

5.A Song is Born starring: Danny Kaye, Virginia Mayo, Benny Goodman, Tommy Dorsey, Louis Armstrong directed by: Howard Hawks April 01, 1992
Average Rating: >>More Details		Used Price: $21.95
Immensely enjoyable. Kaye plays Professor Hobart Frisbee, one of seven monastic intellectuals who reside at the American division of the Totten Foundation. Frisbee meets a pair of hip window washers who tell him all about jazz, jive and boogie woogie. Beautiful Virginia Mayo is Honey Swanson, a singer hiding out from her gangster boyfriend Steve Cochran (she's also trying to keep away from the DA who wants to testify against Cochran) In the original, Barbara Stanwyck played a stripper, who taught the boys the ropes about English slang circa 1941. Here, the plot is basically the same, but the Professor wants to learn all about Popular American music, 1948 style. Some purists will not like this version as much as the original, but the Technicolor is gorgeous, and so is Virginia Mayo! Her rendition of DADDY-O is ... Read More

6.Debbie Reynolds: Do It Debbie's Way starring: Debbie Reynolds, Teri Garr, Florence Henderson, Rose Marie, Virginia Mayo February 08, 1990
Average Rating: >>More Details		Used Price: $7.22
My mother and I used this tape when I was a child every evening after dinner. Unfortunately, our VCR ate the tape. I can't believe that years later I found the tape again on Amazon! The tape is wonderful! There are three levels that progressively get more difficult. It's a great way to fit 30 min. of exercise into your busy schedule.

7.The Secret Life of Walter Mitty starring: Danny Kaye, Virginia Mayo, Boris Karloff, Fay Bainter, Ann Rutherford directed by: Norman Z. McLeod November 07, 2000
Average Rating: >>More Details		Used Price: $6.99
One of the all time classic comedic actors, Danny Kaye gives a charming and varied performance as day dreamer Walter Mitty. A helpless hopeful who works for a publishing company and constanly gets himself into trouble by dreaming his life more fantastic. Whether it be doctor, fighter pilot or gambling gentleman, he becomes the man he wishes he could be but is absolutely not. Charming, debonaire, brave and sophisticated. The real Walter Mitty posesses none of these attributes. Things take a turn for him though as he finds himself mixed up with a beautiful woman who's in trouble and involved in a dangerous plan to retrieve a book containing locations for some hidden WWII paintings. A former nazi named "The Boot" is also aware of the book and will kill anyone in the way of securing it for himself. Read More

8.White Heat (1949) starring: James Cagney, Virginia Mayo, Edmond O'Brien, Margaret Wycherly, Steve Cochran directed by: Raoul Walsh September 01, 1998
Average Rating: >>More Details		Used Price: $4.88
White heat is a good movie at any time of the day. It isn't a bluff gangster film, it's the real deal. James Cagney was cursed or blessed by the LORD to play this part, I don't know which.
