1.Mortal Storm starring: Margaret Sullavan, James Stewart, Robert Young, Frank Morgan, Robert Stack
directed by: Frank Borzage

VHS : Mortal Storm
This WWII political drama starring Jimmy Stewart and Margaret Sullavan, along with very young Robert Stack, Dan Dailey, Robert Young and of course, the Wizard of Oz, Frank Morgan, who is fabulous in this dramatic role, has been overlooked by the wizards of Hollywood. Due to the overall excellence of the film, great acting and wonderful scenes of Jimmy and Margaret "skiing" in the Alps at night, it should be listed, at least, as one of the best 100 films.

VHS : Flirtation Walk
Dick Dorcey (Dick Powell) has a wise mouth and he doesn't hesitate to show it off to Sgt. Thornhill (Pat O'Brien), who he affectionately calls "Scrapper." Why is Dick in the army then? That's a good question. He doesn't like authority and gets himself into plenty of trouble, but he aspires to be an officer. His surroundings don't make it easy. Kathleen Fitts (Ruby Keeler) is on the base to visit her high-ranking father, and Dick is assigned to chauffeur her around. Feeling adventurous, she orders him to break many rules in favor of showing her the real Hawaii. She also saves him from punishment, but he tries to cut himself off from further problems by shipping himself to West Point for training. There, he rises steadily toward his dream, but he can't escape fate in the shape of a beautiful woman.

VHS : Strange Cargo (1940)
In this movie there was both a rare sense of innocence and sensuality that made Joan's part even more multi-faceted! Joan plays Joan in this 1940 MGM classic, staring with her number one leading man, Clark Gable. Much of this masterpiece is shot on a boat and outside and Joan looks all the more stunning and natural! I've added a couple pictures here for you! BTW, "Strange Cargo" will be shown on TCM on Fri., 1-11-08 @ 9:00 a.m.!

Why was Miss Crawford such a fascinating and unconventional star...?

Miss Crawford was a first-rate star, who worked her a-s-s off to get to where she was! And, do you know what she did once she got there? She worked 10 times harder...! Joan had the longest and most impressive film career of any star during Tinseltown's famed Golden Age of Cinema! Joan's ... Read More

VHS : His Butler's Sister (B&W)
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 dreams are realised...and ... Read More

VHS : Desire
Now that movies have degenerated into (male) car crashes, or (female) dike-rap, one returns to films like this one to try to imagine what all of Cole Porter, Cary Grant, Edward and Wallis, Duke Ellington and Fred Astaire were all about. It isn't enough to say, merely "Style;" Camp has pretty much sullied that word for two generations, now. But style -- or that combination of concept and high finish that a furniture manufacture calls The Bogart Look -- exists, or existed, once, and one can see it here, live and bubbling like a genie of mirth climbing out of a champagne bottle.

The plot is simple enough: a beautiful European jewel thief on the run accidentally meets and falls in love with a naif but excruciatingly handsome American guy in a very good suit. They go through the choreography of flirtation in back-lot Southrn Spain, ... Read More

VHS : Stage Door Canteen (B&W)
In the 1940's there were two Canteens...the Hollywood Canteen in California and the STage Door Canteen in New York, set-up to entertain serviceman who were getting ready to go to war or who were on leave. The big attraction was that many Hollywood stars would work at the two establishments doing everything from bussing tables to dancing with the servicemen. Stage Door Canteen does a pretty good job of capturing the feel of the real establishment. One can only guess at the wide-eyed wonder these young men had when people like Bette DAvis and John Garfield waited on them.

The thin plot follows a group of serviceman who are about to be shipped off to fight. And that's really about it. They were not setting out to make a dramatic classic. This was strictly a morale booster film, loaded with celebrities. Among the guest stars are: Ralph ... Read More
