VHS : Sarah Plain And Tall
First off, let me clarify in my personal response that I've never been a fan of the historical fiction genre. Historical fiction books bore me, and they never seem to contain the excitement found in contemporary fiction. Sarah, Plain and Tall, while more character-centric than most historical fiction books, still just didn't catch my interest. I was just glad that unlike many historical fiction books, this one actually didn't shove random historical facts down the readers' throats in massive clumps--the historical details were there, but very subtle. Still, the plot was too plain, with not enough branches and wacky plot twists. Everything was hopelessly predictable, and I know children's authors can do much better than that. That being said, I'd still like to read the sequels (never can ... Read More

VHS : Where the Lilies Bloom
This is a powerful and unique movie. It touches deeply and lastingly.

I saw this movie when I was a boy, and never forgot it, (though I could
not remember its name.) It was such an engaging, charming, and sensitive movie, I was very affected by it.

I recently found this movie at the local library, and truly rejoiced when I did. It brought back memories of that movie I had always somewhat remembered watching when I was a boy.

Well, it doesn't disappoint. Filmed entirely in Watauga county, North Carolina, it is thoroughly steeped in Appalachian authenticity. You are totally transported to this locale and era, and get to view life from the perspective of 4 orphaned kids who must keep the death of their father a secret, lest they get split up and be forced to ...

i paid $26 plus S&H for a VHS tape that does not play well, the video fades in and out, goes completely white at times, and is of poor quality. In it's present form it is not even worth trying to watch it again. I was greatly disappointed in watching it...

Charleston! Charleston! A group of kids have discovered their parents' childhood belongings including clothes and records. Their great uncle (S. Z. Sakall) is aghast that they would mock the 1920s and does his best to portray the era in a more favorable light.

Nanette Carter (Doris Day) is a dancer who yearns to be on the stage, but everyone recommends more training. She dutifully complies. That is, until she is offered the lead role in a show if she can sponsor it as well. She agrees, but her rich uncle is reluctant to give her the money because the stock market has just crashed. They make a bet; if she can say "No" to every question asked of her for two whole days, she can have the money for the show. It isn't an easy undertaking, especially since she is in love (Gordon MacRae). Also ... Read More

Lone fathers and their kids have been a hit in many movies. I have severl examples, like, Ryan and Tatum O'Neil in Paper Moon, Jon Voight and Ricky Schroeder in the re-make of 'The Champ' and Dustin Hoffman and Justin Henry in Kramer vs Kramer. Gregory Peck, won an Academy Award, for playing a sole parent, and he's never been better. The script for this movie was based upon Harper Lee's sensitive and intelligent novel set in racially-torn Alabama. Gregory Peck, plays Atticus Finch, a wise lawyer bravely raising his two kids Jem(Phillip Alford) and Scout(Mary Badham) in the hot-headed Southern town. The crux of the plot is Finch's defence of a colored man accused of rape. The film was put together by two excellent film-makers, producer Alan J. Pakula and ... Read More

This movie is 60's classic. I notice the last post on this forum was in 2000! Here it is 2008 and still no DVD! I agree with the majority of reviewers that the junk that is out on DVD is just that...junk. We don't want these classics to be forgotten. Copy it to DVD before the next iteration of technology emerges.

"A full, ripe ear of emotion and enjoyment"

-New York Herald Tribune

Bette Davis gives a sharp, vital interpretation of Miss Moffat(the spinster teacher fighting to educate the poor children of a Welsh mining village)...by remaining true to its legitimate stage counterpart," adds the Hearld Tribune.

The story, based on Emlyn Williams' autobiographical play, focuses on the relationship between Miss Moffat and her gifted young prodigy from the mines, Morgan Evans (John Dall). "Consumed by inward fire, by the sheer joy of imparting knowledge" (London Picture Post), she molds him into a legitimate candidate for an Oxford scholarship in the remarkably short span of two years. Despite the disaster of Morgan's seduction by trouble-making Bessie (Joan Lorring), the mutual struggle between ... Read More

If you are looking for a wholesome film that is well acted with a storyline that is original and captivating, this is the film for you and your family. Set in historic America, it admirably portrays the upright pioneering values of God-fearing, hard-working American immigrants.
