| Don't be put off by the crackly black and white format and the dated set. Yes, it's a daft story about a drunk who thinks he has an invisible rabbit for a friend, but it is also allegorical and deep. It's really funny! - farcical comings and goings and mix ups, so be ready to laugh along to those bits. There's gentle humour too, like when the doctor becomes the patient and the chief psychiatrist tells James Stewart his deepest longings. A gem of a scene.
It's a theme that keeps coming ... Read More: |

| What with their impressive roster of 1930s GOTHIC-HORROR chillers and this batch of essential 1950s sci-fi, UNIVERSAL have served, extremely well, the requirements of those interested in fantasy cinema that stretches further back than just the latest multiplex blockbuster.
In their day, these were amongst the all-time highlights on offer in this field, and though they are obviously the result of significantly lesser budgets than today's glossy-but-mostly-braindead cinematic outings, these ... Read More: |

| This 1950's Sci-fi classic is well worth getting. It influenced a number of films that followed it and stands up well, even now, over 50 years later.
Really its only obvious weakness is the alien spacecraft in flight, which special effect wise is very poor. However, in most other areas this is a great film. The acting is pretty good, the other special effects are well done and best of all is the sense of paranoia that runs throughout the film. Seeing this film at the Cinema in the 1950's must have been ... Read More: |

| Almost any film Burt Lancaster is in usually gets my attention & The Swimmer is no exception, in fact I think it was one of his more complicated roles, one which was tailor made for Burt. Hard to believe Burt was 55, My God he had the body of an athletic 33 old, great shape almost as good as his acting ability. From what I read he actually could not swim prior to doing this film & never liked getting into the water!
I have watched tis film many times now & each time I see another glimpse of the brilliance ... Read More: |

| Winchester `73 was the film that moved director Anthony Mann from the b-movies to the big league, rescuing James Stewart's floundering post-war career in the process by casting him as a conflicted hero (although since he inherited the project from Fritz Lang, maybe Lang deserves the credit for that). Both men would go to much darker places - Mann already had with the remarkably bleak Devil's Doorway, which remained shelved by MGM until the success of Broken Arrow convinced them to release it - but a movie about a man hunting down his ...

| IF you are fed up of the endless comedies that hollywood churn out nowadays, then this movie is highly recommended. I was born after this movie was made and it says a lot that i have to go back to find the quality of comedy that is sorely lacking at present. Jack lemmon must get to a job interview in NewYork, but on the way is held up by an endless list of events which are hilarious and brilliantly thought out.
Very few actors aside from Lemmon could have played this role so well, and every scene he portrays every emotion ... Read More: |

| The more sinister the character, the better Audie Murphy's performance. Here, his character is more overtly evil (with Charles Drake taking on the boring goodnik role) as a known killer-for-hire who has just arrived in town setting off a paranoidal furor. And how Audie embodies cool! Dressed in black. Shaping his laidback Texas twang into something ominous. Confident. And dangerous.
He was generally dismissed as a non-actor. And Audie believed it too. So I don't know what it was he was doing in this movie, but I wish he did ... Read More: |

| I agree with the previous reviewer. This DVD is bits from other films, not well put together and does not hold the interest of the kids. I would suggest you spend your money on something else. A very poor buy. |

| Harvey is a beautiful film,so simple,with a look and feel that is long gone but you can believe in it for the course of the film.
Harvey tells the story of a drunk who has one of the happiest outlooks that you may ever see,he is called elwood p dowd and is played by james stewart with a gentle ease.Dowd has a best friend,a 6 foot 1' rabbit called harvey that no one can see bar himself and his belief is so strong that he introduces harvey to everyone much to their shock,his sister and niece live with him and are humilated at his behaviour ...
