| There were a few years in movie making when sound was first introduced but the Production Codes had not yet been in force. These codes would severely limit the ability of movies to depict the real world: sex, violence and corruption were toned down - often to the point of sheer blandness. Crime could never pay, authority figures were always forces of good and even married couples were confined to twin beds. There were those few years, however, from the late-1920s to 1934 which was known as the ... Read More: |

| All of the films are very entertaining, Flamingo Road could almost singularly define 'potboiler' and Crawford's at her best, if a bit ridiculous early-on as a 50-ish carnival 'dancing girl', i guess that was the point. She's terrific in the film once you get beyond the first few minutes.
And the price! At this writing (11/21/08) it is DEEPLY discounted at 52% off list- i paid way more than that last year, and it was worth it. Anyone reading, SNAP THIS UP at 23 bucks! Christmas stocking stuffer for the classic ... Read More: |

| This movie is not about a girl, or her love for horses. Nor is it about a young man who is about to go down the wrong path. This movie is about faith, hope, and love, with a dash of humility thrown in. It sets a high standard -- how to win people by trusting them, and treating them with respect.
I love this movie. I'm 57 years old and have just seen it for the first time. I don't know why I didn't see it sooner. I certainly wish I had. If you have a Bible, go read 1 Corinthians 13. This is what this ... Read More: |

| There are some movies that entertain and then there are movies that shape your understanding of the world--this is one such movie. *Spoilers included* It is not a fast moving film, but a slowly building look at the life of one lonely Florida boy and his growth from lonely child to a compassionate, responsible young man. Ostensibly this film is about the relationship between a boy and his fawn, but it is actually a very moving look at the family's dynamics. The relationship between the Father 'Penny Baxter' and his son 'Jody' is ... Read More: |

| The best DVD in this boxset is "San Francisco", an incredible movie with great DVD special features. The chemistry between Clark Gable and Jeanette MacDonald is pure magic.
My 3 star rating of this set is due to the selection of films contained in it. Boomtown wasn't bad, but it's kinda hokey. Wife VS secretary wasn't Gable's best either. This set would have been phenomenal if it included "Red Dust", "Mutiny on the bounty", and Gables final film "The misfits". While the selection of films aren't my favorite, I do appreciate the ...

| This was a Christmas present and Amazon failed to deliver on-time, making it a late Christmas present. Guess the movies are okay - they are classics so I am not reviewing the movies - only Amazon's (lack of) service on this one. |

| Once Upon a Time in Hollywood: From the Secret Files of Harry Pennypacker
Shadow Watcher Nobody Drowns in Mineral Lake Although I'd heard a lot about it, I had never seen THE RAINS CAME (1939) before watching it on DVD. Directed by Clarence Brown from Philip Dunne and Julien Josephson's adaptation of the best-selling Louis Bromfield novel, the picture won an Oscar for its Special Effects in a spectacular earthquake/flood sequence that is still the equal of anything on the screen today. On the other hand, ... Read More: |

| The set is worth it for "Jeopardy" alone. I'm very surprised they haven't done a remake of this one. Barbara Stanwyck, Ralph Meeker, Barry Sullivan, and Lee Aaker all give fine performances in this tense thriller. When a family goes on fishing vacation at a jetty, the father, played by Barry Sullivan becomes trapped under a pylon trying to save his son, played by Lee Aaker. When the mother, played by Stanwyck, goes for help. She is kidnapped by escaped criminal, played by Ralph Meeker ( I was swearing this was Bill Paxton's dad). I was really glad I rented this one ...
