The Wade Williams' collection is always superior in quality.
He has hard to find films and reproduces them in the best format.

They Made Me a Fugitive3 reviews
Sally Gray, Trevor Howard
Kino Video, 2000
An excellent British crime noir-drama
Purchased on a whim, this release has been sitting on my shelf for quite awhile before I got around to watching it. I don't know, maybe the title seemed too sensationalistic for me to have taken it seriously, but don't let that stop you. They Made Me a Fugitive (1947) is an superior British film noir classic that is well worth your time.
Directed by Alberto Cavalcanti, or, Cavalcanti, as he ...

Eddie Cantor, Lyda Roberti
Hbo Home Video, 1997
A GOLDWYN EXTRAVAGANZA.
Eddie Cantor and Robert Young play college roommates who are kicked out of school after being caught in the girl's dorm. Mix-ups include Cantor fleeing from crooks and ending up in Mexico where Eddie hilariously impersonates a bullfighter... The picture (a pre-code film) is chock full of laughs, includes some good songs and contains an excellent performance by the Polish actress Lyda Roberti who ...

Green for Danger 28 reviews
Sally Gray, Trevor Howard
Home Vision, 1993
Green for Danger
Director Gilliat fashioned this atmospheric, intelligent murder mystery, beautifully restored and available for the first time via the Criterion Collection. "Green" maintains foreboding throughout, leavened by the superlative Sim's dry wit. Though his on-screen entrance occurs well into the film, Sim's Cockrill, a fearless detective who becomes terrified at the sound of buzz-bombs, still ...

The original "Wedding Crashers"
Watching Wedding Crashers in the theater made me hungry for this film again. It must have been at least eight years since I caught it on TV, but my memory of the film hadn't dulled, and I was relieved to find that my appreciation for its humor and emotional content hadn't dulled either. This film is just as funny and sweet as it was on the first viewing. Carvey is a genious of an actor here, ...

Rudy Vallee, Sally Blane
United Home, 1997
A charming, sweet, antique film!
Rudy Vallee was a self-taught saxophonist from Maine who was considered to be one of the better instrumentalists of his day. He took a year off from his studies at Yale in 1924 to play with the excellent Savoy Havana dance orchestra in London (lead by Reg Batten), where he played first saxophone to famous oboe-soloist, composer, and future bandleader, Van (Alexander Van Cleve) Phillips' second. ...

My kids love it!
We love baby songs at our house. I have a three year old and a one year old and Hap Palmer's songs never fail to put a smile on their faces. I was first introduced to Baby Songs as a teenage babysitter in the early 90's. The toddler for which I babysat had 2 Baby Songs videos which he loved to watch. I found that songs like Today I Took My Diapers Off and Sitting In My Highchair would be running ...

Roy Rogers: Hero in Gray
Classic action B Western with Roy playing a Confederate Officer at the outset of the Southern War for Independence who is trying to track down a murderous renegade who is fighing the war and innocent civilians for his own gain. The villain is loosely based on William Quantrill. Great Shootouts, horse chases and fun.

Blessed every time I watch!
I am a very big Third Day fan and have seen them several times and own every cd/dvd they have available. They just seem to get better and better. However, I was a little surprised to say the least when I read the other reviews. One review in particular seemed to contradict itself and just generally not make a lot of sense. So to help clear things up I thoroughly enjoyed this dvd as it was a huge ...

The Hidden Room 1 review
Robert Newton, Phil Brown
Finally on DVD!
I love this film! I write mysteries and in my mind this is one of the best psychological thrillers I have ever seen. I have been trying to find it for about a year after I finally remembered the name "The Hidden Room" but had no idea it was also called "Obsession". The cat and mouse game between the husband and the Scotland Yard detective is priceless and the relationship that developes between ...
