1.Ghost & Mrs Muir starring: Gene Tierney, Rex Harrison, George Sanders, Edna Best, Vanessa Brown directed by: Joseph L. Mankiewicz March 21, 1991
Average Rating: >>More Details		Used Price: $1.99
I'm sure that this was a good film at the time of its release. I found it a bit long and I was unimpressed by Rex Harrison--talk about over acting and big close up soliloquies that are syrupy sweet. There was nothing romantic about him. The side story with Mr. Fairley was about as transparent as it could get. The music was good. The last act breezes by at warp speed and it's just a little disconcerting to watch this woman just content to give up on looking for real love and settle for the day that she can truly be with the Captain again. A real Wuthering Heights sort of ending. Decent film but nothing to write home about.

2.All About Eve starring: Bette Davis, Anne Baxter, George Sanders, Celeste Holm, Gary Merrill directed by: Joseph L. Mankiewicz March 01, 1995
Average Rating: >>More Details		Used Price: $0.74
With All AboutEve, Hollywood starts a period of Movies who are excellent in Story and acting. A well known actress as Bette Davis return on screen with a performance long remebered. Ann Baxter as a young star, gives a strong performance of a ruthless actrice on her way to the top. George Sanders as an cynical and critical person who!s acting is just perscibes the Hollywood machine of ruthless careermaking.

3.Sleuth starring: Laurence Olivier, Michael Caine, Alec Cawthorne, John Matthews, Eve Channing directed by: Joseph L. Mankiewicz January 27, 1998
Average Rating: >>More Details		Used Price: $11.20
I could not wait to see these two superb acting icons go at it on the big screen. What a wonderful movie it is. Great writing, screenplay, and oh what great spins they each put on their roles. No two other actors could have played it better. Wickedly amusing entertainment.

5.Guys & Dolls starring: Marlon Brando, Jean Simmons, Frank Sinatra, Vivian Blaine, Robert Keith directed by: Joseph L. Mankiewicz April 21, 1993

so don't buy it if you have a wide-screen TV - unless you like watching a little picture in the middle of a big screen.

6.There Was a Crooked Man starring: Kirk Douglas, Henry Fonda, Hume Cronyn, Warren Oates, Burgess Meredith directed by: Joseph L. Mankiewicz January 18, 1994
Average Rating: >>More Details		Used Price: $1.97
On one of the discussion boards was a question about the pretty schoolteacher being carried along with the rioting mob, losing another piece of attire every time seen (yelling "warden," asking for help) for part of the riot sequence and then disappearing. And mention of seeing a still picture where she wore a hat, boots and a smile while running through the desert. Question was about the editing. An acquaintance saw the sneak preview of the picture in Long Beach while it was still being edited and mentioned that the striptease continued until she was chased into the desert through the hole dynamited in the prison wall. Should there ever be a DVD released with this "deleted scene," you let us all know, you all. (But after forty or fifty years, doubtful.)

I first saw this as a film in 10th. grade English as an assignment. it is one of Marlon Brando's finest works.

9.The Honey Pot starring: Rex Harrison, Susan Hayward, Cliff Robertson, Capucine, Edie Adams directed by: Joseph L. Mankiewicz September 01, 1998
Average Rating: >>More Details		Used Price: $14.99
One wily master-manipulator, three lovely women, Joseph L. Mankiewicz's masterfully rendered plot and dialogue. What the craft of acting and writing and film to document them were invented for. A maserpiece that should be required viewing for acting and writing classes. This one for your library of classics, and watch it at least once a year.

Average Rating: >>More Details		Used Price: $0.65
I have seen this movie several times and purchased it to obtain the disc with extra features. The disc would not play due to something being on it that I was unable to remove. I would like to know if there is a way to obtain the extras disc without flaws. Thank you.
