The Yearling 43 reviews Gregory Peck, Jane Wyman
Warner Home Video, 2002
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 ...

The Lady Eve - Criterion Collection 67 reviews Barbara Stanwyck, Henry Fonda
Criterion, 2001
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 Clock 44 reviews Judy Garland, Robert Walker
Warner Home Video, 2007
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 ...

Preston Sturges - The Filmmaker Collection (Sullivan's Travels/The Lady Eve/The Palm Beach Story/Hail the ... 27 reviews Preston Sturges, June Preston
Universal Studios, 2006
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 ...

Body and Soul 19 reviews John Garfield, Lilli Palmer

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 ...

Kitty Foyle 21 reviews Ginger Rogers, Dennis Morgan
Turner Home Ent, 2006
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 ...
