VHS : I Married an Angel
The films of Nelson Eddy and Jeanette Macdonald have always held a special
place in my heart, cause they usually point to love and music. Films that
have affected audiences for a long time. They also made people feel better
in the dark days of war.
And today, they still make us feel good. There's a magical chemistry
when they are together. This only lasted 8 films, and Married to a
Angel was their last one. Saw it as a kid, and even today i still love
this film. Dont try to disect the movie, just sit down and enjoy.
And in the end, if it leaves a smile on your face, Nelson and Jeanette
succeeded in their work.

VHS : Bitter Sweet
Jeanette and Nelson movies succeeded more when done in black and white, and especially where Nelson was the hero and Jeanette the kind of damsell in distress..but there was always adventure...great sets and great
singing...
In Bittersweet, Nelson does'nt look like himself compared to other films,
maybe his health was not the best ... i even remember this film from
my youth and even then i knew that this one was not like the others.
Hey, Nelson and Jeanette only made 8 films together ...so Bittersweet
for all fans is also a must see and a keeper for the collection.

VHS : Northwest Passage
This film is still not on dvd, and it should be. This movie is really a guilty preasure, in that, it is all the things a movie should not be. Historically inacurrate, and all Hollywood from the get go. But, that was the way it was until audiances became too sufficiated for bad directing. Despite all that, I love this movie, because of those reasons. The truth would only paint Tracys character much differently, and we might end up hating the hero more then the indians. There are many lines in this film that are memorable. My favorite is when Tracy says "If she gives you any trouble, stick her in the rump with a bannoet." My second favorite line was so laughable I still laugh as I'm about to write it. After the indian maccacre is over Tracy is trying on the local foot wear and in an angry fit says, "Dont any of these ... Read More

VHS : Sweethearts (1938)
Now that ive seen this movie in color, im glad Louis b Mayer was cheap and
made all the previous Jeanette and Nelson movie in black and white.
Maybe one day they will be collorized and i will get both versions.
Sweethearts plays almost like the real life of this couple. Hounded down
all the times to perform, and the plots taken by their management to keep
them.
With color we now see Jeanette and Nelson in a different atmostphere.
We see more of the makup, and more things jump out because of the color.
Im so used to see them in different era costumes, that seeing them
as normal was kind of a shock.
Sooooo the movie sweathearts is good,,,but not as good as their other
movies together.

VHS : Andy Hardy Gets Spring Fever
I would have to say that out of all the Andy Hardy movies I have seen this is the least entertaining. It doesn't have as good of a story line as the other ones. Basically what happens is Andy doesn't care much for his drama class...that is until he falls for the new substitute drama teacher. He improves rapidly in his class and even writes and stars in a play called "Adrift in Tahiti." Everyone notices the obvious difference in his age and the teachers age, well, except Andy. And he becomes heartbroken when he finds out of her engagement to another man.

Like all Andy Hardy movies, this movie does have a few comical situations, but it is not near as good as the other ones.

John does everything he can to protect his wife who is in delicate condition. She tries her hardest to be the perfect wife, cooking and cleaning and making the hallway where they sleep due to lack of housing as comfortable as possible. Unfortunately, the building is bombed, and even though Nora is saved, she is hurt so badly that she can no longer have children. She feels worthless and goes to America to put on a brave face. In the meantime, John goes to an orphanage to write a story about the children who have lost their parents due to the war.

VHS : After the Thin Man
There's more fun to be had in this 1936 sequel to The Thin Man.

Nick and Nora Charles (William Powell and Myrna Loy) are returning home to San Francisco just in time for New Years. Instead of the early evening they had planned, they are summoned to a family dinner at Nora's Aunt Katherine's (Jessie Ralph). Only after dinner do they learn that Cousin Selma (Elissa Landi) is missing her husband. And they can't go to the police and get their names in the paper. So a reluctant Nick agrees to find Robert (Alan Marshal).

The case seems to be over pretty quickly when Nick and Nora find Robert at a night club. But then the dead bodies start piling up. Can Nick sort this all out?

Once again, we have a fun mix of the comedic and the mysterious. While the climax is once again the "gather everyone in one room cliche," Nick ... Read More
