1.Christmas in Connecticut starring: Barbara Stanwyck, Dennis Morgan, Sydney Greenstreet, Reginald Gardiner, S.Z. Sakall
directed by: Peter Godfrey
December 23, 1993
Average Rating:  out of 5 stars

VHS : Christmas in Connecticut
Bad direction keeps this movie from being good. In fact, even Barbara Stanwyck comes off looking awkward in some scenes. But she can never be truly bad. Her presence and a great supporting cast keep me watching this one again and again: (the usually weird) Sydney Greenstreet, (the often overly cute) S. Z. Sakall, and (the always wonderful) Una O'Connor.

And the one-reel extra, A Star in the East, is pure Christmas schmaltz that will have any true holiday believers bawling on cue. And that alone is worth the price of purchase.

2.No Time for Sergeants starring: Andy Griffith, Nick Adams, Don Knotts, Murray Hamilton, Howard Smith

VHS : No Time for Sergeants
It arrived in a reasonable amount of time. The condition was ok, not great but ok. It did appear as if it came from a video rental company which was a bit troubling. All in all it was an ok experience although I think for the condition a bit overpriced.

Can some genius at Warner Bros (who now owns these great MGM titles) tell me why this in not out on DVD and yet other films are on their 3 or 4 editions????

4.I Married a Witch starring: Fredric March, Veronica Lake, Robert Benchley, Susan Hayward, Cecil Kellaway
directed by: René Clair

VHS : I Married a Witch
Cecil Kellaway makes I MARRIED A WITCH a scary film indeed, and I suspect that John Huston must have recalled Kellaway's portrayal when he undertook the role of the evil, incest-driven patriarch in Roman Polanski's CHINATOWN. Against all odds, Kellaway has kept his daughter to himself for 270 years, thanks to the Puritans who have condemned him to live, as a ghost, in the form of smoke, under a giant oak tree on the ancestral property of the Wooley family. And in turn Kellaway has cursed the Wooleys, ensuring that, in each generation, no man shall find happiness in love, all will be married to plain battleaxes.

Meanwhile Daniel (the warlock played by Kellaway) had Jennifer (his lovely daughter, played by the uniquely talented Veronica Lake) right where he wants her--he's the only man in ... Read More

VHS : Francis in the Navy
This is the sixth and final film of the series produced by Universal that included Donald O'Connor, and director Arthur Lubin, who created the sequence. It would be charitable to state that this entry is up to the best of its antecedents, as O'Connor's tongue-tied routine as the chowderheaded sidekick of Francis the talking mule has become rather exhausting for audiences by the time of this release. Army lieutenant Peter Stirling (O'Connor) is advised by Francis that the mule has been "drafted" into the Navy and is positioned as surplus to be auctioned at the Coronado (Calif.) base. While attempting to regain Francis' freedom, Peter is mistaken for a lookalike bosn's mate, Slicker Donovan, is captured by the Shore Patrol and must then reestablish his correct identity while disinvolving himself from various examples ...

VHS : Mating Game
In fact I am not under 13 -it's just that I happen to have an old computer and the new protocols' rampant paranoia is simply preventing me from openly and honestly expressing my views. {To the site administrators: as the famous 'Rebel Without A Cause' quote goes, "You read too many comics!"...}

Now let's go straight to the point of it:

Most laypeople have polarized views about taxes -they either disregard the whole matter or become paralyzed by their fear of what they perceive as a Kafkian chaos.

'Mating Game' should be adopted as an introductory exercise by high-school and IRS extension courses since it gives revealing insight on the rationale behind general taxing theory and procedures, as well as their articulation with the whole of the legal system (federal and otherwise jurisdictional). ...

VHS : Harvey
One comment, I'm not sure Harvey was imaginary, I know several people who swear they've seen him. Evidently he is a friend to rumpots. Stewart himself said people, usually men, looking a little down on their luck, asked him about Harvey for years!

8.The Ma & Pa Kettle Collection: The Egg and I starring: Claudette Colbert, Fred MacMurray, Marjorie Main, Louise Allbritton, Percy Kilbride

VHS : The Ma & Pa Kettle Collection: The Egg and I
This warm and funny account of a newly married couple trying to make a go of it on a backwoods chicken farm, based on Betty MacDonald's popular best seller, was a big hit with audiences during the 1940's and has lost none of its appeal today. This is a great film the entire family can watch together. Chester Erskine produced, directed and co-wrote the screenplay with Fred F. Finklehoffe in this hilarious and heartwarming film all will enjoy.

Claudettle Colbert is wonderful as the shocked but game Betty when on her honeymoon her husband Bob (Fred MacMurray) informs her he has quit his brokerage house job and bought a chicken farm in the country. She figures things could be worse, and they are, as their farm is a ramshackle old place that fights back! After all, there's not another place in the county like it; none of that ... Read More
