1.Pinocchio (Walt Disney Gold Classic Collection) starring: Dickie Jones, Christian Rub, Mel Blanc, Don Brodie, Walter Catlett directed by: Ben Sharpsteen, Hamilton Luske October 26, 1999
Average Rating: >>More Details		Used Price: $3.69
I ordered my DVD several weeks ago and am still waiting for it. The estimated time of arrival indicated November 3 at the latest. I also contacted the vendor, but have not received any reply. I am very unhappy at this point.

2.Look for the Silver Lining starring: June Haver, Ray Bolger, Gordon MacRae, Charles Ruggles, Rosemary DeCamp directed by: David Butler September 01, 1998
Average Rating: >>More Details		Used Price: $12.95
This is June Haver movie and she is good, but Ray Bolger (Wizard of OZ) stole the show. Gordon Macrae was hansome and good but not in the movie for long. The story is about Marilyn Miller famous Broadway actress. I give it 3 stars. Entertaing.

3.Yankee Doodle Dandy starring: James Cagney, Joan Leslie, Walter Huston, Richard Whorf, Irene Manning directed by: Michael Curtiz September 19, 2000
Average Rating: >>More Details		Used Price: $1.99
From Little Caesar to George M. Cohan. Winning an Academy Award for Best Actor, Cagney is wonderful. One of the best American movies ever made. Great for family viewing, including young children. And for young children, don't forget to let them see Errol Flynn in Robin Hood.

4.Friendly Persuasion starring: Gary Cooper, Dorothy McGuire, Anthony Perkins, Richard Eyer, Robert Middleton directed by: William Wyler October 13, 1998
Average Rating: >>More Details		Used Price: $4.91
I have always loved Gary Cooper and this is my favorite movie of all he made. It is heart warming and a joy to watch over and over. I ordered it for my mom's 88th birthday and she loves it now too. Thanks for having it.

5.His Butler's Sister (B&W) starring: Deanna Durbin, Franchot Tone, Pat O'Brien, Akim Tamiroff, Alan Mowbray directed by: Frank Borzage November 27, 1996
Average Rating: >>More Details		Used Price: $8.25
One of Deanna Durbin's best movies of the period, HIS BUTLER'S SISTER (1943) features the adorable songbird in a comedic story of mixed identities and showbusiness dreams. Co-starring with Franchot Tone, one of her most formidable and appealing leading men, Deanna shines brightly here! Stagestruck teen Ann Carter (Deanna Durbin) gets off the train in New York city, and goes to stay with her rich older brother (Pat O'Brien) in his ritzy mansion. Unbeknownst to Ann, he's actually the butler of young Broadway composer Charles Gerard (Franchot Tone). Desperate to appear on the stage one way or another, Ann plays along with her brother and becomes the new maid, in a bid to kick-start her showbiz career. All manner of hilarious comic hijinks and mixed identities ensue before Ann's musical ... Read More

6.Bringing Up Baby starring: Katharine Hepburn, Cary Grant, Charles Ruggles, Walter Catlett, Barry Fitzgerald directed by: Howard Hawks October 14, 1997
Average Rating: >>More Details		Used Price: $2.25
Howard Hawkes can do it all. The screwball comedy was never better and alas never will be better. I suppose you could say this is a gimmick picture as they use a live leopard in a number of scenes. The Cary Grant brontosaurus has a small part as well. Hepburn sees Cary the four-eyed prof and goes after the befuddled handsome man with everything a 1930's girl has. Madcap motor-mouth one liners rip away. Cary is embarrassed, disgraced, and horrified for ninety minutes till Hepburn cannot be denied. Amazing fast pace and editing for one of the finest comedies ever made; it can be watched again and again.

7.I'll Be Yours starring: Deanna Durbin, Tom Drake, William Bendix, Adolphe Menjou, Walter Catlett directed by: William A. Seiter January 19, 1999
Average Rating: >>More Details		Used Price: $16.40
This sweet and old-fashioned offering from the lovely Deanna Durbin is very much a film of another time. A simple and liesurely paced film about a small town girl going to the big city shortly after her father's passing, there is a sweet innocence to both the humor and the love story that should not be confused as lightweight. Based on a screenplay by the great Preston Sturges, the story really gets going slowly and Deanna carries the first portion of this film on her considerable charm. By the end, you'll be smiling, glad you stuck around for a film that remains true to its intent. Deanna is Louise Dinglebusher (!), a girl from the small town of Cobleskil not sure what to expect from the city of New York. Eating on a budget after landing a job as an usherette through a fellow Cobleskil alum, she ... Read More

8.On the Avenue starring: Dick Powell, Madeleine Carroll, Alice Faye, Al Ritz, Harry Ritz directed by: Roy Del Ruth January 01, 1998
Average Rating: >>More Details		Used Price: $2.99
I always felt that 20th Century Fox put out the best story/music combination in the mid 1930s to early 1940s. There is a light hearted bounciness to the songs and these Fox musicals are, for me, much preferred to the overdone, sluggish MGM musicals. WB was great too but had that harsh urban twist to them which is by no means a knock to that studio. I love them. The 20th musicals, with Alice Faye, Don Ameche, Jack Haley, Betty Grable, Cesar Romero, John Payne, Jack Oakie, display in these performers, an infectious light-hearted quality. Too bad Dick Powell couldn't have been part of this group after 1935; he would have fit right in with his high likeability factor. Both of Dick Powell's loan outs to Fox, "On the Avenue," along with the forgotten but terrific "Thanks a Million," from 1935, are 2 of his very best ... Read More

10.Mr Deeds Goes to Town starring: Gary Cooper, Jean Arthur, George Bancroft, Lionel Stander, Douglass Dumbrille directed by: Frank Capra May 21, 2002
Average Rating: >>More Details		Used Price: $3.00
After seeing the remake (Mr. Deeds), I wanted to see the original. And as usual, the original was head-and-shoulders above the remake, and made the remake seem pretty pointless. The plot is the same--Longfellow Deeds (Gary Cooper) unexpectedly inherits a fortune from an uncle he'd never met, then goes to the city to take care of the legalities. Babe Bennett (Jean Arthur) is a tough newspaper reporter who poses as sweet, innocent Mary Dawson to get the scoop on him. But instead of a crooked board of directors, there's a greedy cousin, and there are no over-the-top silly jokes. It's still funny, but it doesn't resort to idiocy to accomplish that. Really made me wonder why lately Hollywood seems to think that only slapstick is funny. It did take me a while to warm up to Gary ... Read More
