Lord Byron of Broadway (1930)
A very early charmer. Musical as can be.
This film is full of very talented actors and actresses, who I've never seen before, and don't know their names. I think 1930 is getting pretty close to the start of talkies, but the sound is fine in this one. Its full of good songs and good performers, instrumental and vocal, men and women. Dancing extraordinaire! Busby Berkely type routines on stage with Circles of high kicking young ladies. This captures the feeling and the passion of the music of this day. Charles Kaley, (Roy Erskine) is one of the main singers and actors. He is superb in both respects. The ladies opposite him are perfect to a "T" also. Flappers galore. Where are they now? If you would like to be taken back to the 20's in fine style, catch this short film. Dave Danzl
My Girl (1991)
I movie that grabs the heart of the coldest people.
Talk about acting! Vada gives the finest performance I have seen in quite a few years. She is very young. I don't know where she got the ability. She must have some Barrymore blood.
When Vada walks up to the coffin of her friend, and says "Wanny go tree climen,? Where are your glasses? It enough to bring tears to the eyes of a stone. The parents of the boy are superb, as are Dan Adroud, and Jamie Lee Curtis. The film is very will cast, directed, and acted. The story will stay with you forever. Don't miss this one, and give it all your attention. It will carry you away.
This fine film has made it to my top ten list. I wish every producer, director, screenwriter, actor and actress could see this story uninterrupted. My Top ten list includes, Gone with the Wind, Dial M for Murdewr, North by Northwest, Treasure of the Sierra Madre, Ben Hur.
Far North (1988)
A rare and beautiful picture of Minnesota, with a fine story behind it
I saw this movie last night and I was enthralled by the fine acting and character personalities portrayed. The suspense of Jessica's promise to her dad to shoot the horse is great, and the way the movie opens, with the accident ... to me it started off with a bang and got better from there.
There was an abundance of beautiful camera shots of the North Woods of Minnesota, and of the high bridge, in Duluth, and of ships on Lake Superior. The animosity between Jessicas' dad and the uncle who was in the hospital with him is comical and tragic. Far North is a wonderful story with a background of beauty. A bottle of liquor plays an important role in the film, as does an old 'dobbin' like horse.
