1.Mating Game starring: Debbie Reynolds, Tony Randall, Paul Douglas, Fred Clark, Una Merkel directed by: George Marshall January 27, 1993
Average Rating: >>More Details		Used Price: $18.29
In fact I am not under 13 -it's just that I happen to have an old computer and the new protocols' rampant paranoia is simply preventing me from openly and honestly expressing my views. {To the site administrators: as the famous 'Rebel Without A Cause' quote goes, "You read too many comics!"...} Now let's go straight to the point of it: Most laypeople have polarized views about taxes -they either disregard the whole matter or become paralyzed by their fear of what they perceive as a Kafkian chaos. 'Mating Game' should be adopted as an introductory exercise by high-school and IRS extension courses since it gives revealing insight on the rationale behind general taxing theory and procedures, as well as their articulation with the whole of the legal system ...

2.Eight on the Lam starring: Bob Hope, Phyllis Diller, Jonathan Winters, Shirley Eaton, Jill St. John directed by: George Marshall May 27, 1997
Average Rating: >>More Details		Used Price: $8.80
A "Guilty pleasure"? Perhaps but I never fail to be amused by the wacky chemistry of Bob Hope and Phyllis Diller in their work together. Having literally discovered Phyllis Diller in her night club act Bob Hope had the unique Miss Diller, who's trademark was wild hair and even crazier clothes, as his leading lady in three mid 1960's films, "Boy Did I Get a Wrong Number!", "The Private Navy of Sgt. O'Farrell" and this effort, "Eight on the Lam". While the humour here is certainly not to everyone's taste they tickle my funny bone and the two make a memorable team usually involved in some outrageous set of situations that could only come out of a 1960's movie. With the feel of a sitcom about it "Eight on the Lam", has humour that is simple and straightforward and trades heavily on Bob Hope and Phyllis ... Read More

3.Gazebo starring: Glenn Ford, Debbie Reynolds, Carl Reiner, John McGiver, Mabel Albertson directed by: George Marshall March 02, 1994
Average Rating: >>More Details		Used Price: $16.00
"The Gazebo" was just as I remembered it from years and years ago...funny, clever and just the right amount of suspense. The old black and white movies are hard to beat and this one certainly proves it. It's a must!!

4.The Goldwyn Follies starring: Adolphe Menjou, Andrea Leeds, The Ritz Brothers, Vera Zorina, Kenny Baker directed by: George Marshall, H.C. Potter April 04, 2000
Average Rating: >>More Details		Used Price: $0.27
Probably the only reason for remembering The Goldwyn Follies is that it's the movie George Gershwin was working on when he died at 38 of a brain tumor. In truth, the movie is a mish-mash, although a good-natured one, involving comedy bits, musical numbers and what Goldwyn considered "class." The best thing about the film are two George and Ira Gershwin songs that are as fresh and wise today as when they were written, "Our Love Is Here to Stay" and "Love Walked In." The story line is as thin as a thread, designed to keep the numbers coming and to provide some fun at Hollywood's expense. Ben Hecht is credited with the screenplay. He artfully places some banderillas that probably puckered the skin of several types of Hollywood denizens, from producers to divas to sycophants to...you get the idea. Hollywood ... Read More

5.It Started With a Kiss starring: Glenn Ford, Debbie Reynolds, Eva Gabor, Gustavo Rojo, Fred Clark directed by: George Marshall January 27, 1993
Average Rating: >>More Details		Used Price: $7.99
This movie is good entertainment from two great actors of their time,they were soo good together, it deserves to be on DVD like their other romantic comedy Gazebo, which I beleive is soon to be relesed on DVD.

6.Murder He Says starring: Fred MacMurray, Helen Walker, Marjorie Main, Jean Heather, Porter Hall directed by: George Marshall November 03, 1998
Average Rating: >>More Details		Used Price: $33.93
I love this movie, it is never on TV anymore and I wish it would come to DVD. I live in Australia so can't even order the VHS as it is not compatable with our system. This is the best comedy I have seen. And without the language and smut of more modern comdedies. It's all a comedy of errors, Fred landing in with the murderous hillbilly family headed by Marjorie Main. And identical twins played by I think Peter Whitney, one can be incapacitated by a chop to the neck while the other doesn't feel a thing, puts Fred in some dangerous situations. It's a must see.

7.How The West Was Won starring: James Stewart, John Wayne, Gregory Peck, Henry Fonda, Carroll Baker directed by: George Marshall, Henry Hathaway, John Ford, Richard Thorpe May 30, 2000
Average Rating: >>More Details		Used Price: $2.47
WoW! True color and watching in Blu ray is so much better. Great Movie, with lots of stars. Love it

8.Blue Dahlia starring: Alan Ladd, Veronica Lake, William Bendix, Howard Da Silva, Doris Dowling directed by: George Marshall March 26, 1996
Average Rating: >>More Details		Used Price: $5.37
The Blue Dahlia is a quintessential film noir, one of the great films that defined the genre. Army men return from World War II to find their wives drunk and cheating with scumbag jazz club owners. Whether this film has not been released on DVD in the U.S. is quite curious, considering almost every film noir has been burned onto DVD in various collections of the genre. My guess is that Turner owns the film, and hopes to air it only on TCM, or the potentially racist comment in the film has people worried. There were racists in the 1940s, and denying it by not releasing a film is pretty silly.

9.You Can't Cheat an Honest Man (1939) starring: W.C. Fields, Edgar Bergen, Charlie McCarthy (II), Constance Moore, John Arledge directed by: Edward F. Cline, George Marshall October 13, 1998
Average Rating: >>More Details		Used Price: $2.38
"You Can't Cheat an Honest Man" was a disappointing effort due to the fact that rather than featuring W.C. Fields director George Marshall chose to allow Edgar Bergen and protege Charlie McCarthy to hog the screen. I was under the impression that ventriloquists were not supposed to move their lips. This was a condition that was lost on Bergen. I'm at a loss as to understand what the captivation was with his tired act. Fields playing perpetually indebted traveling circus owner Larson E. Whipsnade was given too few opportunities to perform his particular style of hijinks. One notable exception was the scene in the ticket booth where he used his excellent comedic tools. The widowed Fields' kids Victoria and Phineas played by Constance Moore and John Arledge are being supported by him as they attend a prestigious ... Read More

10.Scared Stiff starring: Dean Martin, Jerry Lewis, Lizabeth Scott, Carmen Miranda, George Dolenz directed by: George Marshall January 01, 1998
Average Rating: >>More Details		Used Price: $8.00
"Scared Stiff" is a remake of a 1940s Bob Hope comedy called "The Ghost Breakers" which was directed by George Marshall, who also happened to direct this version as well. I'm just going to jump right into the flaws of the film. First of all I'd just like to say Bob Hope, was one of my favorite comedians. Hope had a natural gift for comedy. His delivery for handling a one-liner has only only been matched by Groucho Marx. There was something about the sound of his voice, his breezy attitude, his facial expressions that made jokes that were really not that funny work. Only Bob Hope could tell a "Bob Hope joke". And in "Scared Stiff" the script follows "The Ghost Breakers" verbatim. Martin and Lewis shift positions on playing the Bob Hope character. Martin though is given most of the lines Hope delivered in the orginal movie. Now ... Read More
