Another forgotten classic

I agree that Jackie Moore's "This Time Baby" is a great, near-forgotten tune; however, the same can be said for Karen Young's "Hot Shot".  Another one-hit wonder.

THREE BROADWAY GIRLS is the 1932 film THE GREEKS HAD A WORD FOR THEM (not The Girls Had a NAME for Them) starring Joan Blondell, Ina Claire, and Madge Evans that was later remade as HOW TO MARRY A MILLIONAIRE starring Marilyn Monroe, Betty Grable, and Lauren Bacall.  A very famous and rather elusive film among movie buffs and truth be told, it does not live up to it's legend.  The script is not nearly as good as it should have been and the girls endless fighting takes precedence over their man-hunting.  Suprisingly few good comic lines and Ina Claire's character is curiously villianous at times. Joan Blondell, however, is very sexy though regrettably third in screen time here, regal Madge Evans seems an odd choice for one of these party girls albeit the most noble one in the bunch.  Stage legend Ina Claire was 40 when she made this movie and lacks the beauty of her co-stars but she is amusing when her character is not vicious. Print quality on this bargain-basement release is only fair.  Worth the buck I paid for it at Dollar Tree but not much more.

Classic that aces the test of time. A reminder of why Peter O'Toole and Audrey Hepburn are famous and missed.

Classic slapstick and clever dialogue make this forgotten film a one-of-a-kind Civil War comedy. Glenn Ford and Stella Stevens do some of their best comedic work in a film that runs out of gas at the end, but is still worth a look. Lots of good supporting work by Andrew Prine, Jim Backus, Melvyn Douglas and Joan Blondell.

Excellent but often overlooked movie.  It is one of those British gems that belongs in the same collection as The Malta Story, the Cruel Sea, and the Dambusters.  The movie is based on the Italian attacks on British ships with undersea chariots, which were used to place explosives under British ships at anchor.  The movie begins with the actual attacks on two British battleships in Alexandria harbor and then moves on to actions in Gibraltar.  It may become a bit fictionalized at that point, but it is great fun to watch.
I have actually seen an Italian chariot submarine at the Washington Navy yard's museum in Washington DC, but this was years ago.  If things are still the same, it is in the "Annex" and not the main museum.  Maybe someone reading this has more up to date information.

This is one of the Bee Gees' rarer and more underrated albums.  This is from the bridge period between their return to the UK from Australia in the late '60s dabbling in ballads and psych-folk to ruling disco in the mid to late '70s.  Each of the three brothers has at least one song that is largely his.  "Papier Mchs, Cucumbers and Kings" has a few twists and turns to it.  "Bad, Bad Dreams" is more rock-oriented to their usually poppy selves.  "Alive" is not to be confused with another certain track!  The album may have been overshadowed by the rise in glam or lack of direction.  The followup A Kick in the Head is Worth Eight in the Pants was shelved and is now a bootleg.  This and other lesser known Bee Gees albums deserve a worldwide re-release.  The rights now lay with Barry Gibb and the twins' estates by arrangement with Warners.

It should be fairly well understood that the first five Marx Brothers films released by
Paramount are classics of American comedy that stand the test of time. These are works
  of comic mastery few can even come close to matching.

  That said, Universal's indifferent packaging and unrestored prints are something of a
 scandal. "Horsefeathers" suffers the worse, and it's hard to imagine with effort a print
  with the badly mangled "college widow" scene couldn't be used to restore it.

  Overall, the extras are not worthy of the Marx's place in the comic pantheon.
  It's like they took the first stuff they could the rights to and stuck them on an
  extra disk. Actually, this could have been a two disc set with extras and no
  flippers.

  Again, the films are essential.

Unfortunately, this is almost half-forgotten novel Mayne Reid. Meanwhile, this work is still interesting to read. First of all the novel can be attributed to the adventure genre. This is novel is about love to of Maurice to the daughter planter. But their love develops on the background of envy and hatred arising from Cassius Calhoun. His hatred to Maurice, we can consider as a starting point for the development of the plot. In the novel can be traced detective and mystical tone. In particular, deserve the admiration of the scene the appearance of the headless horseman. And his secret we learn in the end. I am sure that this novel has not lost its literary and modern values. The theme of love in the background of the drama that is always popular.

AFTER YEARS OF SEARCHING FOR THIS ONE BY DIFFERENT AVENEWS, i WAS ELATED TO FIND IT HERE ON AMAZON.COM.
I ALSO BELIEVE IT IS A HIGHLY UNDERRATED FILM THAT HAS BEEN LOST IN THE ARCHIVES FAR TOO LONG.
I ALSO FOUND ANOTHER GREAT FONDA MOVIE THAT I HAVE BEEN LOOKING FOR, FOR YEARS, AND THAT IS,( SOMETIMES A GREAT NOTION, WITH PAUL NEWMAN ) ANOTHER ONE BURIED IN THE ARCHIVES FAR TOO LONG WAITING TO BE RE'DISCOVERED.

A classic that has gone virtually unknown since being released. One of my favorite gay themed films of recent years.

An unknown and then forgotten masterpiece of edgy, attitudinal, folky, songer-songwriter with a touch of punk.  I miss this record. It's been years.

Another classic from Hollywood's best year (1939).  I have been on a Bette Davis binge and bought this because many of her other movies have been turning up at the local used movie shop since most of the generations behind me (I am 57) have no appreciation for anything black and white or classic.

"MASH goes to Paris" is one of several sequels to the original "MASH" novel that were hastily written to cash-in on the then-recent TV series. These novels picked up where the original book left off and have very little to do with the TV series aside from a handful of characters like Hawkeye, Trapper John, Radar, etc. Many fans (myself included) suspect that original author Hooker had very little to do with these books and that the bulk of them were really written by coauthor Butterworth.

This particular novel starts off ok, with five of the key MASH characters (Hawkeye, Trapper, Radar, Henry Blake, and Hot Lips) reuniting in a somewhat contrived fashion during the early 1970s. The reunion of these characters is poignant in that we get a glimpse into what they might have done after leaving the 4077 back in Korea. This is also the best-written section of the novel. The rest, unfortunately, is what my theater professor would have called an "accent comedy." Regional and ethnic stereotypes abound in the same way that they did in certain mainstream slapstick-style film comedies of the late 1960s. These characters, all drawn in broad cartoony strokes, are piled on one after another and eventually crowd out the original MASH cast.

If you are a completist and can get this cheap, by all means do so. Otherwise, you probably ought to stay away.

A good old classic, easy going and entertaining story about struggling people in the midwest.

I don't know how I missed this classic.

I really miss Left Eye Lopes.  In an age where young women are headed in the wrong direction, Lefy Eye was a model example of ladylike behavior.  When I heard she died, I was devastated.  I must have cried for hours.  This album is a forgotten classic.  Buy it now!

Classic that  needs to be read periodically.  This book contains Pilgrim's Progress, plus a large bunch of other stuff.  The book has not been "Kindled", so you cannot really determine the contents, and you cannot jump to Scripture references.  A bit more of a challenge for us folks who have gotten so lazy!

I didn't catch this movie is its original TV run in 1973 but instead saw it on a local re-run in 1978. (It was also one of the first things I ever recorded on my new--and hyper-expensive--Panasonic VHS recorder.)

I was touched by the movie's theme about a man who, wistful for his days as a World War 2 fighter pilot in the Flying Tigers, slogs along as a chopper pilot doing traffic reports for a radio station.

Suddenly, witnessing a bank robbery in progress, he has a chance to become a hero again. The Hero As Wounded Romantic is a role that David Janssen played to perfection, as anyone who has seen HARRY O will agree.

As the young woman taken hostage by the bank robbers, Elayne Heilveil very nearly steals the movie from the rest of the cast, and I'm disappointed that she didn't seem to do that much after making this movie.

One thing I found annoying was the fact that some of the music in the original run was replaced by some other stuff, probably because of clearance difficulties. In particular, the original ended with a poignant rendition of "I'll Get By" playing over the end titles; that's been replaced by a much less touching instrumental.

As far as the digital transfer is concerned, it's not terrible, but it's not that great either. Also, there are brief biographies of Janssen and co-star Ralph Meeker, but nothing about Heilveil.
