Cinderella Liberty (1973)
My favorite Navy movie.....
When I first saw Cinderella Liberty I was in the Navy and a friend suggested I see it....that was one great friend. I had watched James Caan in the Godfather, ElDorado and Brians Song....all were great and I feel thankful that we have had the pleasure to watch this talented actor...but when I saw Cinderella Liberty he played that part to a T....I have to say the writer of this script either was in the Navy or received some first hand input.....I myself took a fellow shipmates watch many times and it is not hard to do all the things that happened in this movie...But the acting and the story will last forever... the kid ....the bar scene...the hustle..and Marsha Mason what else do you need to say...I have looked for this movie to come out on DVD forever....it never has...I ran across a DVD copy on the internet recently and it is very good and finally I can watch this movie when I want to and show it to my family and friends. Thank you James Caan for this great gift the gift of Cinderelly Liberty it will make you laugh and it will make you cry but most of all it will make you feel alive. roanokebarry@verizon.net
The Other Side of Midnight (1977)
Great love story
This movie has it all....great love story even though it is cheesy sometimes....action....revenge and a sad but realistic ending.....why it was not a big hit I don't know but I will always like it and wish it was out on DVD......I wish the movie channels would show it more often...
It seems that when this movie was released the studio promotion was not there.....they didn't spend any money on it.....
When I think back on all the movies that are love stories this one always comes to mind and "the Summer of 42".... there is just something about the simple way they were written and how they show up on screen... anyway this will always be one of my favorites cant stop watching it....
There is a another movie that comes to mind that was not promoted much and is not out on DVD either and that is "Cinderella Liberty" a James Caan and Marsha Mason movie that is great....if you like love stories and some comedy this movie is special....Eli Wallach is also in the movie as a Navy Chief that is losing his rank and getting washed out of the Navy....James Caan trades places with him (and this does go on) and both live happily ever after.....10 out of 10 on this movie.
