1.Some Came Running starring: Frank Sinatra, Dean Martin, Shirley MacLaine, Martha Hyer, Arthur Kennedy directed by: Vincente Minnelli September 01, 1998
Average Rating: >>More Details		Used Price: $1.80
Wide Screen Color Bonanaza, Vincente Minnelli, Judy's hubby, known for lavish Hollywood Musicals, does a very theatrical late 1950's melodrama, almost Douglas Sirk like. Oh, the repressed sexuality and hypocracy. It's not a 50's Hitchcock masterpiece like Vertigo or To Catch a Thief, but the film's from a pot-boiler James Jones novel, takes itself pretty seriously, slicing away that exotic Indiana underbelly with Shirley MacLaine doin the cupie doll stereotype. Arthur Kennedy does not look like Frank Sinatra's brother, but he is slimey. Frank and Dean play, ah, Frank and Dean. Look, there's good scenes, despite some hokey steamy stuff. The real meat of this film, the Sinatra-MacLaine insult and love me scenes, nice work and Dean comes in for a mean-turn that's kind of believable. ... Read More

2.Kismet (1955) starring: Howard Keel, Ann Blyth, Dolores Gray, Vic Damone, Monty Woolley directed by: Stanley Donen, Vincente Minnelli February 24, 1995
Average Rating: >>More Details		Used Price: $4.99
This is not an historically accurate, intellectual movie. This is a fun and catchy and stick-in-your-head musical romp. I've been looking for this movie on DVD for years and can't wait for April! I have the soundtrack to tide me over til then. It's actually one of my favorite musicals from this time period because it does what a movie is supposed to do...it entertains!

3.Lovely to Look at starring: Kathryn Grayson, Red Skelton, Howard Keel, Marge Champion, Gower Champion directed by: Mervyn LeRoy, Vincente Minnelli February 24, 1995
Average Rating: >>More Details		Used Price: $7.49
Remembered this from my youth. Was a treat to see again. Granddaughters (4&6) enjoyed the dancing and beautiful costumes along with me.

4.Meet Me in St Louis (1944) starring: Judy Garland, Margaret O'Brien, Mary Astor, Lucille Bremer, Leon Ames directed by: Vincente Minnelli May 02, 2000
Average Rating: >>More Details		Used Price: $1.30
The CD was as advertised. The price was terrific and with free delivery it beats going shopping at a retail store. Meet Me In St.Louis is a classic, great family film and should be shown in every grade school.

5.The Long, Long Trailer starring: Lucille Ball, Desi Arnaz, Marjorie Main, Keenan Wynn, Gladys Hurlbut directed by: Vincente Minnelli November 04, 1994
Average Rating: >>More Details		Used Price: $3.02
This is one of my favorite all time films. Definitely the best movie ever starring Lucille Ball. I am a long time Lucy fan, but that being said even if you didn't enjoy her television shows, this movie is a comedy film that should appeal to about anyone. None of the slapstick humor and dizzy redhead stuff you might imagine there to be. Lucy and Desi tie the knot and buy a long trailer house with all the modern features of the day. They set out as honeymooners Nicky and Tacy, off to introduce Nicky to Tacy's family. A lot of weird stuff happens on their journey to make this a long long honeymoon which just might bring a few second thoughts about ever having gotten married. I highly recommend this one to anyone. All the professionalism you have come to expect from these two hollywood moguls. A very delightful ... Read More

The person that was to send the VCR Tepe never sent it, I still want the tape but I am reluctant to order it again. I attempted to contact the person who sold the VCR Tape, but they never responded. So what is the next step, do I reorder or what? Will

7.Reluctant Debutante starring: Rex Harrison, Kay Kendall, John Saxon, Sandra Dee, Angela Lansbury directed by: Vincente Minnelli January 27, 1993
Average Rating: >>More Details		Used Price: $19.95
Again no dvd of a great movie! Why? I have been waiting for this dvd for years. I saw this movie at Radio City or the Roxy when I was needless to say younger. I will never forget the wonderful warm feeling I got watching it.

8.Meet Me in St Louis starring: Judy Garland, Margaret O'Brien, Mary Astor, Lucille Bremer, Leon Ames directed by: Vincente Minnelli April 01, 1992
Average Rating: >>More Details		Used Price: $0.01
The CD was as advertised. The price was terrific and with free delivery it beats going shopping at a retail store. Meet Me In St.Louis is a classic, great family film and should be shown in every grade school.

9.Tea & Sympathy starring: Deborah Kerr, John Kerr, Leif Erickson, Edward Andrews, Darryl Hickman directed by: Vincente Minnelli September 01, 1998
Average Rating: >>More Details		Used Price: $21.85
Seems that with the death of Deborah Kerr that there are still a number of her films that have never been transferred to DVd and this would be one at the top of that list. Despite its age, its horrific ending (that tacked on guilt ridden ending should be burnt and let the film end the way the stage play did), there is still some great work here from Deborah and John Kerr (despite looking late 20s at the time which he probably was) I recently transferred my old video off- the -TV print to DVD and whereas it is nice to have it on a DVD format, with a scratchy print, it badly cropped for TV, its like watching half the movie. Other films of Ms Kerr that should also travel quickly to DVD would be "Chalk Garden"and "Bonjour Tristesse"

10.I Dood It starring: Red Skelton, Eleanor Powell, Richard Ainley, Patricia Dane, Sam Levene directed by: Vincente Minnelli February 24, 1995
Average Rating: >>More Details		Used Price: $18.89
This movie has lots to enjoy - great wartime entertainment by some of the big names in music at that time, good if recycled comedy, and great dancing by Eleanor Powell. However, its main problem is all of what I just mentioned. It can never seem to figure out if it is a romantic comedy, a musical, or a movie about wartime sabotage. It's probably about 3.5/5, but I rounded it up to 4 because it does grow on you. The comedy is mainly recycled from Buster Keaton's last silent film, "Spite Marriage", and in fact Buster was a gag writer on this film and most of Red's other movies for MGM. Here Red Skelton plays Joe Reynolds, reprising Buster's part as a worker in a laundry enamored with stage actress Constance Shaw (Eleanor Powell). He manages to show up at the same places Shaw shows up at by borrowing his customers' formal attire. Just like ... Read More
