Irene Dunne in her element
The culture clash of East and West is the primary focus of this beloved Hollywood classic, based on the novel "Anna and the King of Siam" by Margaret Landon (which in turn was shaped from the diaries of the real-life Anna Leonowens), and would later form the basis for the Rodgers & Hammerstein musical "The King and I". Irene Dunne plays Anna Owens, a widowed mother who is given the position of ...

I REMEMBER ALL TOO WELL!!
I've watched the movie Penny Serenade many times and I remember that when my husband and I lost our child in death, our marriage wasn't strong enough to endure the pain of it all. We didn't know how to communicate our grief and pain, instead we mourned the lost to ourselves to an extent each blaming the other, where there was no fault at all. In our pain, we said and did hurtful things to one ...

THE POWER OF MUSIC...
This is a wonderfully sentimental melodrama, which is deftly directed by the venerable George Stevens. With its stellar cast, the film delivers a heartwarming story. The film opens onto a scene of a woman, Julie Adams (Irene Dunne), who is in the process of leaving her beloved husband, Roger (Cary Grant). It seems that they are no longer able to communicate with one another, and their ...

Early Irene Dunne in Classic Western
This is a sprawling epic version of Edna Ferber's novel. It starts with the original Oklahoma Cimmaron land rush (1889) and ends in during the height of the oil rush (1930). This is a great movie about the a part of US history that most people have only heard breifly about. And like Ferber's more famous book Show Boat, this film takes on civil rights - this time the rights of native ...

So Real !
Life with father is, a true story and I can vouch for it being just like real life, at least life with a father like mine, {born in 1919}. Like Vinnie, in the movie, my mother always got what she wanted too, and my father was always fussing about it, just like Mr.Clarence Day, and to hear him tell his eldest son about women, when he first notices his son taking an interest in girls, or rather in ...

Perfection!
A lost classic. The writing and acting can't be beat. Grant proves himself a great comic actor and Irene Dunne is a delight. If you like comedy, it's for you. If you like romance, it's for you. The entire cast is superb - including Mr. Smith. This is one of my top two or three faves of all time. Oft copied but never equalled. Leo McCarey - thank you!

The one that started it all
This is the wonderful rendition of what we most often think of as starting with "An Affair To Remember". This is the original, with many of it's scenes and even it's dialogue repeated in "An Affair To Remember" I owned this VHS and played it until it became unplayable. I recently purchased a used copy of the DVD and it had a lot of noise in the background toward the end. This, however, was on ...

Little love affair
Later remade multiple times, "Love Affair" is a semi-forgotten little romance movie from an earlier age of moviemaking. The plot is as simple and sweet as the title, with its tale of true love found, disrupted, and found again -- the sort of love affair we all wish we could have. Playboy Michel (Charles Boyer) encounters nightclub singer Terry (Irene Dunne) and flirts with her, but backs away ...

Kilgore Trout meets Franz Kafka
Paul Auster has said that The Inner Life of Martin Frost is a comedic answer to his film Lulu on the Bridge. Lulu on the Bridge is a story about a dying man's fantasy about a woman playing the role that Louise Brooks made famous in the German expressionist film Pandora's Box. Louise Brooks was probably film's greatest portrayal of the idealized woman. Every man painted his fantasy on her lithe ...

Vintage Home Ent., 2004

3/4 Penny?
A question of running times has been raised for the three movies in VINTAGE HOME ENTERTAINMENT's CLASSICS OF CARY GRANT. The assertion that all three are only 90 minutes each is somewhat impossible, as one of these pictures has always clocked in at 80 minutes ("The Amazing Adventure"). A second ("His Girl Friday") is only 92 minutes in length to begin with. It's doubtful that much if any of this ...
