VHS : Valley of Decision
We very much enjoyed this movie. Gregory Peck is a strong actor in this movie, as he was in his other movies. It follows the family business via the one adult child in the family actively involved. Highly recommend.

VHS : One Minute to Zero
This seems to be an honest effort to depict what happened in the early stages of the Korean War. It depicts the warfare taking place from the first days until the Inchon Landing had successfully taken place (October 1950).

The film was made in the throes of the war and could only look forward with faith and optimism to a positive outcome. Portrayed are the attempts to train the South Korean troops in modern warfare, the arrival of the Royal Australian Airforce to assist the efforts of the Americans and South Koreans, the arrival of British Army troops, the use, by the North Koreans of Russian tanks, and aircraft, and the talk of the North Koreans being directed from Moscow.

Diverse military actions are shown from the method of disabling a tank at the outset, to dealing with guerrilla ... Read More

This movie is so corny and hilarious (sometimes unintentionally). It's one of my feel good fav's. I bought this one for Harlow and she is at her trashy, sarcastic, platinum blonde best!

Did you even know that Mickey Rooney and Marilyn Monroe were in a movie together. Who knew! Fun to watch! For a small guy he packs a punch and its fun to see these 50's movies now. This one isn't on dvd and its unlikely your local library will carry it.

VHS : Loretta Young Show (7pc)
This 7-Tape VHS boxed set of "The Loretta Young Show" is worth twice the price! Each one of these programs is excellent! Thoughtful, well-written, intelligent, and absorbing television. I was surprised at how REALLY good these shows were. Miss Young stars in each of the dramatic plays presented in this set of VHS cassettes. And she displays her great talent as a very versatile actress in all of them.

Originally titled "Letter To Loretta" (and later re-named "The Loretta Young Show"), the series ran on NBC-TV for eight seasons (from 1953 to 1961).

Loretta Young was born Gretchen Young in 1913. She died of cancer in August of 2000. But her talents will never be forgotten. Many younger people who weren't even alive when her shows first aired now have the chance to see Miss Young's series thanks to video ... Read More
