1.Casablanca [1942] starring: Humphrey Bogart, Ingrid Bergman, Paul Henreid, Claude Rains, Conrad Veidt directed by: Michael Curtiz June 01, 2006

This used to be my favourite. I went to see it at a cinema in the 70s, when it was distinctly arthouse. Times change, though. Now the racism grates too much. When it was made I'm sure it was meant to be radical. Rick saying he does not sell human beings when offered a price for Sam might have been cutting edge in '42. Not now. It does not matter how captivating Ms Bergman is, I cannot see past her using that American racist insult, 'boy'. Sam, of course, does not even have two dimensions to his character.

4.The Maltese Falcon [1941] starring: Humphrey Bogart, Mary Astor, Gladys George, Peter Lorre, Barton MacLane directed by: John Huston June 01, 2006

At least for two reasons, "The Maltese Falcon" is a milestone in the evolution of American genre cinema. First, this is one of the very first pictures that ushered the era of classic film noir. Its bizarre characterizations, twisty plot and cliché-drenched events serve as a perfect template that has been utilized in countless films through six decades after its making. Second, this is the movie that catapulted Humphrey Bogart's career into stardom. He had been a strong supporting character, mostly playing villains (as in "High Sierra" & "The Petrified Forest"). After his performance as hard-boiled private eye Sam Spade, he became a major star. The movie represents a complex study of human psyche, especially taking a dismal look at human greed and pursuit ... Read More:

Joan's 2nd collection is another very good package-not quite up to the quality of the first region 1 collection- I rate these movies as: 1 Flamingo Road 5 stars 2 Sadie Mckee 4 stars 3 A Woman's Face 3 stars 4 Strange Cargo 3 stars 5 Torch Song 3 stars If you're a fan of Joan's camp movies though, Torch Song is def top of the pile- finally- a plea to the makers of the documentaries- please do not include that nasty daughter of Joan's in any future DVDs-don't they realise that Joan's fans hate that woman?
