Diane (1956) 3 reviews Lana Turner, Pedro Armendáriz
MGM (Warner), 1998
Actually, Better Than I Thought It Would Be!
+ Great Drama Movie in Epic Style of the 1950's
Years ago, my friend David had a book about history as told thru Hollywood movies, and that was how I first learned of the movie, "Diane". Seemed a silly movie, advertised by a dueling shot of French prince Roger Moore matching his epee with courtesan Lana Turner in her sixteenth-century Tudor ...

Weekend at the Waldorf 5 reviews Ginger Rogers, Lana Turner
MGM (Warner), 1998
Outshines the Original!
+ A great classic film! + Great dialogue, lots o' fun
When MGM decided to remake its own "Grand Hotel" it pulled out all the stops. Vicky Baum's story of several people crossing paths is set at the lavish Waldorf Astoria Hotel in New York. MGM provided a glossy sheen and top stars like Ginger Rogers, Van Johnson and Lana Turner. The result is a more ...

Merry Widow (1952) 4 reviews Lana Turner, Fernando Lamas
MGM (Warner), 1995
MGM gloss at it's best!
+ Lavish production w/ attractive stars - not bad! + Mesmerizing music, expert dancing, and gorgeous Lana Turner
Lana Turner and Fernando Lamas light up the screen in MGM's watered-down version of Franz Lehar's operetta THE MERRY WIDOW. Crystal Radek (Lana Turner) is invited to a forgotten little European kingdom where her dead husband was born, so she can attend the unveiling of a statue dedicated to his ...

Homecoming (1948) 4 reviews Clark Gable, Lana Turner

Stirring performances make a needed point
+ One of the best war movies of all time!
As the granddaughter of a man who never said a word about his World War II experiences once he returned home, I appreciated the importance this film placed on how necessary it is to tell your loved ones about what you went through during war. Otherwise, a wall is always there. My mother is still ...

Adventures of Marco Polo 5 reviews Gary Cooper, Sigrid Gurie
Hbo Home Video, 1994
GREAT PAIRING OF COOPER and SIGRID
+ A fun adventure movie
Amusing, entertaining.... two words I would use in describing this holiday confection from Samuel Goldwyn. Lavish sets, costumes, music and good performances from Cooper and the Norwegian Sigrid Gurie(she is equally good in THREE FACES WEST with John Wayne).
Sigrid Gurie suffered greatly in her ...

While I've read the book and think it is much better than the film, I still love this film a lot for the great acting, music, and filmography. The DVD reproduction is much clearer than the VHS version.
I was a little disappointed in the commentary with Russ Tamblyn and Terry Moore. Both ...

MGM (Warner), 1998
Taylor + Turner = "pure TNT"!
+ The love will be his bliss and redemption ; alpha and omega of a rutheless existence! + Van Heflin shines in his Oscar-winning performance
In this excellent, if unoriginal film noir from 1941, Robert Taylor stars as Johnny Eager, a well-known racketeer (and ex-convict) who conceals his criminal activities by reporting regularly to his parole officer as well as masquerading as a humble taxi driver. He shares a large penthouse apartment ...

Somewhere I'll Find You 4 reviews Clark Gable, Lana Turner
MGM (Warner), 1998
The Girl Really IS Hot....
+ Stars Make Love and War + Romantic Wartime Drama With Vivid Realistic Overtones
I'd be lying if I said I bought this movie just because I'm a big Clark Gable fan as Lana Turner really is as fantastic as any actress Gable had worked with. The story is compelling and at times feels forced, but Gable carries himself perfectly as an at times despicable character, but as always ...

Honky Tonk 4 reviews Clark Gable, Lana Turner
MGM (Warner), 1994
"Have you any idea what a gal like you can do to a gent like me?"
+ Jederiah Johnson + GABLE AND TURNER
Like a previous reviewer, I can safely say that the plot in this 1941 classic really isn't that important. The movie earns a 5-star rating for one thing and one thing alone: the amazing chemistry between Clark Gable and luscious 20-year-old Lana Turner in their first of four movies made together. ...
