My Birthday Review

+ Pleasant, with drama, life in the country.
+ HUH ?!

I chose to review this film on my birthday because it's one of my favorites. I love the way the little boy becomes so fondly atatched to his baby deer. It's so beautiful and so sweet.It's so happy, the fun and tenderness with his new pet. It is sad too that both the little boy and the deer part ...

Still Holds Up Today

+ Barbara Stanwyck - what an actress!
+ Boy Meets Girl

Preston Sturges did some terrific comedies, mostly in the 40's, & this is definitely one of them. Barbara Stanwyck & Henry Fonda are both great, along with a fine supporting cast including, Charles Coburn, William Demarest & Eugene Pallette. From the opening credits, a cartoon snake squirming down ...

The Definitive 1940s Love Story!

+ TIMELESS LOVE STORY
+ The Clock

I first saw this movie when I was eight years old and ten years later I still have not grown tired of it. It is one of those films which gets better with each viewing. The deceivingly simple love story of a young woman and a GI who fall in love and get married within 24 hours seems formulaic. But ...

Worthy collection for Sturgess fans, old and new

+ Very good set!

I already own three of the films in this collection and enjoy them regularly. The collection, however, is an excellent conglomeration of the breadth of Preston Sturgess's abilities as a writer and director. A different kind of social commentator than his contemporary, Frank Capra, Sturgess took ...

By unanimous decision: one of the best boxing movies ever

+ "What ya gonna do, kill me? Everybody dies!"

The quintessential fight movie, starring John Garfield as the boxer who works his way up to becoming the champ, but sells his soul (and body) to sleezy promoters along the way. He does whatever they tell him to do, as long as he gets his money. In his last fight he's supposed to take a dive so a ...

Ginger Rogers' Oscar Winning Performance Will Resonate With All Working Girls

+ Oh Ginger....
+ Heart Rending Depiction of Class and Gender

Ginger Rogers stepped off the dance floor and into dramatic movies in the 1940's. This classic love story, subtitled "The Natural History of a Woman," is a great introduction to her work for those not familiar with it. She plays the part of Kitty Foyle, a working class girl with lots of moxie ...
