1.Silencers starring: Dean Martin, Stella Stevens, Daliah Lavi, Victor Buono, Arthur O'Connell directed by: Phil Karlson April 16, 1996
Average Rating: >>More Details		Used Price: $1.10
If you dig Dean Martin, glamorous gals, or groovy gadgets, you'll love THE SILENCERS, the first of Dino's fondly-remembered "Matt Helm" films (based on the series of books by Donald Hamilton). With tongue planted firmly in cheek, Dean Martin plays Matt Helm, part-time spy and full-time ladies' man, assigned to stop power-mad megalomaniac Tung-Tze (Victor Buono in Asian makeup) from destroying the world with a rogue nuclear missile. Stella Stevens is Gail, a scatterbrained innocent caught up in the action. Forget about trying to follow the plot, just sit back and revel in the outrageous clothes (designed by Moss Mabry), and the comic skills of Dean Martin and Stella Stevens, who both give sensational performances. Ms Stevens in particular will stun you with her physical ... Read More

2.Ladies of the Chorus starring: Adele Jergens, Marilyn Monroe, Rand Brooks, Nana Bryant, Eddie Garr directed by: Phil Karlson June 24, 1994
Average Rating: >>More Details		Used Price: $14.49
I was so excited to purchase this from a seller off of Amazon. I have been a MM fan since I was 9 (I'll be 36 this year) and have never seen this. Until I started looking for it, I didn't realize that it was out of print in the US on VHS and only available on Region 2 (Europe) DVD. I have a great VHS copy and now consider it a cherished collectible of Marilyn. I watched it for the first time today and loved it. Marilyn is so young, innocent and beautiful. She just radiates. This will give any fan a glimpse into a young Marilyn Monroe, just as she was leaving the persona of Norma Jeane and finding herself. This is well worth the investment for any Marilyn fan's collection, if you can find a copy grab it. It was a B rated movie but still charming and fun to watch. I literally welled up watching how gorgeous ... Read More

3.Framed (1975) starring: Joe Don Baker, Conny Van Dyke, Gabriel Dell, John Marley, Brock Peters directed by: Phil Karlson September 27, 1986
Average Rating: >>More Details		Used Price: $3.35
"Framed" (1975) was legendary film noir director Phil Karlson's first film after the gargantuan success of his 1973 biopic of Tennessee Sheriff Buford Pusser, "Walking Tall." In "Framed", Karlson continues the theme of revenge which has dominated his body of work since the early 1950's. His masterpieces include "Scandal Sheet" (1952), "Kansas City Confidential" (1953) and, of course, "The Phenix City Story" (1955). "Phenix City" is a fact based biopic, along the lines of "Walking Tall," about the murder of the Attorney General Elect of the State of Alabama. Long considered Karlson's greatest achievement, it was made prior to the sentencing of those involved in the Attorney General's murder, and greatly affected the outcome of their trial. "Framed," compares well to Karlson's best works. Karlson always ... Read More

4.Charlie Chan: The Shanghai Cobra starring: Sidney Toler, Mantan Moreland, Benson Fong, James Cardwell, Joan Barclay directed by: Phil Karlson July 21, 1998
Average Rating: >>More Details		Used Price: $2.19
1945's "The Shanghai Cobra" is a better than average Charlie Chan movie of those featuring Sidney Toler as the famous Honolulu Detective, here seconded to U.S. Government duty for the war. Benson Fong as Number Three Son Tommy and Mantan Moreland as driver Birmingham Brown co-star and provide comic relief. The movie opens with a noir-like sequence in which three people seem to be following each other around a darkened street. They have a brief confrontation in a cafe, then one drops dead rather suddenly on the sidewalk outside. Charlie Chan is asked to assist the New York police on the case. The man who died on the sidewalk is one of three people to die of cobra venom poisoning, a signature Charlie Chan associates with a pre-war killer in Shanghai named Jan Van Horne. Van Horne, ...

6.Walking Tall Trilogy Boxed Set starring: Joe Don Baker, Elizabeth Hartman, Bo Svenson, Luke Askew, Gene Evans directed by: Earl Bellamy, Jack Starrett, Phil Karlson January 25, 2000
Average Rating: >>More Details		Used Price: $53.00
I received the DVD's in a very short time. They were exactly as described. This was a very easy and fast order.

7.Hell to Eternity starring: Jeffrey Hunter, David Janssen, Vic Damone, Patricia Owens, Richard Eyer directed by: Phil Karlson November 21, 1991
Average Rating: >>More Details		Used Price: $2.85
This movie has not withstood the test of time, but still offers an insight into one American's experience growing up with Japanese Americans and then using his LA Japanese to face Imperial Japanese forces on Saipan. This DVD could be made much more effectively if it had film of the real Guy Gabaldon, who died recently. Of course, that would ruin the fantasy-story Hollywood created around him. A simple man, who fought an enemy, tried to talk them into surrendering, but shot them dead if they did not. Not much romance in that, but, it was war.

8.The Untouchables: The Scarface Mob starring: Robert Stack, Keenan Wynn, Barbara Nichols, Pat Crowley, Bill Williams directed by: Phil Karlson September 01, 1998
Average Rating: >>More Details		Used Price: $3.00
Oh how we remember the great old TV show, The Untouchables. This was the TV movie that started it all starring Robert Stack as Eliot Ness and Neville Brand as Scarface. In black and white with Walter Winchell narrating it, this video has a documentary feel and for it's day, was surprisingly violent and realistic. Of course in this day and age it hardly seems violent, almost naive in fact, which adds to it's charm. It has a wonderful ambience of it's time and place and takes one back to those good old bad days of Chicago gangsters and back to one of the finest TV shows there was. This is a very entertaining show. Wish they'd also make a video out of the two-parter Untouchable special where Scarface (again, Neville Brand) was taken to Alcatraz and tried to escape. In fact, I know there were some VHS tapes released ... Read More

9.Kansas City Confidential starring: John Payne, Coleen Gray, Preston Foster, Neville Brand, Lee Van Cleef directed by: Phil Karlson October 09, 1998
Average Rating: >>More Details		Used Price: $0.91
What an improvement over my public domain disc of this superb little noir! The cast is excellent, especially the three bad guys in early roles. Preston Foster is far more interesting than he usually is. And John Payne is far stronger than usual. Interesting to see the same pool that was used in "Kiss Me Deadly" substituting for a resort in Mexico. This film is a perfect example of why I collect film noir! Thanks to MGM.

10.Walking Tall starring: Joe Don Baker, Elizabeth Hartman, Gene Evans, Noah Beery Jr., Brenda Benet directed by: Phil Karlson
Average Rating: >>More Details		Used Price: $6.84
This movie to me will always be a Classic. Based on a true story how one man can make a difference. The newer version of this appears better because of the updates..However, the newer version just doesn't seem to grab my heartstrings or make me feel the emotion as I did with the original movie. I am glad to have this classic in my home now.
