Clipper965

This film, despite being made in 1955 carries a message that transcends time and generations. One thing that makes this film so ageless is the story could easily take place today. I am surprised Hollywood has not made a modern day version of it. I see Tom Hanks as Marty and Rene Zellweger as Clara. Many people who see this film will get a huge sense of Deja'Vu. Ernest Borgnine was perfectly cast as Marty. This film has been criticized for promoting negative stereotypes of Italian Americans but I think this may have been due to the era it when it came from. This film is probably the most underrated films of the 1950's. This film is a must see for any lover of the old MGM Classics.

I first saw Brides of Christ when A&E aired it 1991 and it remains the best mini series I have ever seen. Brides is a testament to the incredible amount of undiscovered acting talent that exist in Australia. The film has a bit of a left of center political slant but is still an outstanding production. To its credit Brides does a credible job explaining the turmoil in the Catholic Church that resulted from Vatican 2. This mini series should be shown throughout the Islamic world as there are many parallels. You must have this Mini Series. I bought the 3 tape VHS collection and just bought the DVD because the VHS have become worn out due to being watched over and over. I loan them out to everyone I know.

Nice Disney family film in the tradition of Old Yeller, Swiss Family Robinson & LT. Robin Crusoe USN. Stars Fred Mac Murray & Jane Wyman as well as veteran Disney child actors Tommy Kirk & Kevin Cochoran, and the late Deborah Walley. Real star of this film is the old Ocean Liner SS United States. - 1962 was the twilight of the big Transatlantic Ocean Liners and " The Big U" shows herself in all her glory. Shot on location in Paris and the Riviera, it gives us a look back at Paris back in the 60's with all the fads and fashions. A bit dated for today's tots. This film is probably better suited for adults looking for a nostalgic look back.
