"Listen," says exasperated dance teacher Penny Carroll to her two-left feet customer, Lucky Garnett, "No one could teach you to dance in a million years. Take my advice and save your money!" We can't help smiling because Penny is played by Ginger Rogers, and the clumsy Lucky, who saw Penny on the street and was smitten, then finagled his way to the dance studio to meet her, is Fred Astaire. But Penny's boss overhears her comment and fires her on the spot. Lucky comes to the rescue. "Now, umm... how did you say that last step went?" he asks Penny. "Oh, yes!" And with that he swings her out to the dance floor and they launch into "Pick Yourself Up," one of the most expert and cheery fast tap polkas you'll ever hope to see. ... Read More:

2.The Complete James Dean Collection : East Of Eden / Rebel Without A Cause / Giant [1955] starring: James Dean, Elizabeth Taylor, Rock Hudson, Carroll Baker, Raymond Massey directed by: Elia Kazan, Nicholas Ray, George Stevens Jr. June 06, 2005

Jean-Luc Godard said about the director of Rebel Without a Cause "Nicholas Ray is cinema." Well now, risking Pseuds' Corner, I wager James Dean is movie stardom personified on the strength of his three great performances in these three 1950's movies. With Dean dead for more than 50 years, this boxset underlines that the only sense we have of him is on celluloid. Brando may have been a better actor but even before that car crash ensured Deans iconic afterlife, Dean was the more complete celebrity. Even though these movies are classics they are dated. My only criticism is of the movie Giant. I can't help feeling it is like a 3.5 hour episode of Dallas. Watch Dean in it as he steals every scene. Genius.

4.Shane [1953] starring: Alan Ladd, Jean Arthur, Van Heflin, Brandon De Wilde, Jack Palance directed by: George Stevens October 06, 2003
Average Rating: >>More Details		Used Price: £14.39
I shall always remember the thrill as a small boy when my parents took me to a local cinema to watch a western. Randolph Scott and particularly Joen McCrea were the order of the day at the time. But Shane was such a hard act to follow regular westerns were just not the same after. Shane played by Alan Ladd, was so good that even with the enhanced photography of today there are not many westerns that can hold a candle to this thoughtful film. It is interesting that the original intended casting was for Montgomery Clift to play the part of Shane and for William Holden to portray Joe Starrett. Whilst I can see the logic of these selections, Katharine Hepburn as the Mrs. Starrett just does not seem right somehow. For me however, the ... Read More:

This is the best film about Jesus that I have ever watched. It will take you through a roller coaster of emotions as you watch it. The actor who plays Jesus is brilliant. In one scene where he is asked if he is really the son of god, Jesus replies 'I am HE!'. Simply great. Another great scene, and there are pleanty, is when he is in a church in Jerusuleam and stands up and starts teaching the others in the church about god. Everyone should seriously watch this film, you will enjoy it emensley.

Unfortunately, the hero in this movie makes THREE. Montgomery Clift, as the poor boy trying to make good, makes the initial mistake of falling in love with a rich and beautiful girl, who would normally be unobtainable. If that was it, it would simply allow us to wile away 110 mins in the company of Monty's tortured soul and face-and, boy, no one ever did it better than him! Get I Confess-despite being the most unlikely Catholic priest you could imagine,Monty is superb in that with tortured secrets etc. And in this film, he's pretty good,too! Mistake number two, though, undoes him. He doesn't just fall in LURVE with the rich girl, he falls in lust with her too-and in 1951,Nice Girls DIDN'T!! And that means mistake number three, canoodling around ... Read More:

George Stevens' 3 hour sprawling epic of Texan life, taken from Edna Ferber's novel, strives so hard for serious statements that it ends up as a long yawn. Dealing with the two men who love Taylor - strait-laced cattle baron Hudson, and the less respectable rancher who strikes it rich with oil (James Dean, a strange spectacle in himself as he turns grey) - the film attempts to conduct some sort of attack on rampant materialism, as well as offering an elegy for the times that have a-changed. But the pace is so plodding, and the general effect so stultifyingly unsubtle, that one is left impressed only by the fine landscape photography and Dean's surprisingly convincing portrayal of a middle-aged man- Jett Rink. Unlike Rebel Without a Cause and to a lesser ... Read More:

Having read the previous review I held off buying this collection until January 2007. I needn't have worried. THE FILMS: The films are still classics of movement, light and music with the incomparable dancing pair. FLYING DOWN TO RIO (1933) is the oldest and most dated with too much footage devoted to the rather wooden Dolores del Rio and Gene Raymond. The climax with the aerobatics and wing walking is still exciting despite the use of back projection. THE GAY DIVORCEE (1934) is a lighter than air farce about mistaken identity, co-respondents and seaside hotels. Despite a dated title this has good comedy and much more dancing. It resembles Top Hat but is more like a trial run. SWING TIME (1936) is very polished under the direction ... Read More:

Leopold Dilg (played by Cary Grant, but where did they get that name?), a small town malcontent and challenger to the status quo, is framed for arson. Seeking to hide out in the home of Nora Shelley (Jean Arthur), he finds that he must hide from the new renter, Michael Lightcap (Ronald Colman). Luck seems to be on his side when it turns out that Lightcap is a famous legal scholar and Supreme Court nominee. However, Lightcap likes his law cold and academic. What will it take to both melt Lightcap and free Dilg? [Black and white, created in 1942, with a running time of 1 hour, 58 minutes.] What a great movie! The cover for the tape looks like Mount Rushmore, and that is no exaggeration. Cary Grant AND Ronald Colman, who could ask for more? The story is humorous is a subtle way, and ... Read More:

10.Twilight Zone: The Movie [1983] (REGION 1) (NTSC) starring: Dan Aykroyd, Albert Brooks, Vic Morrow, Doug McGrath, Charles Hallahan directed by: George Miller, Joe Dante, John Landis, Steven Spielberg October 09, 2007
Average Rating: >>More Details		Used Price: £8.28
Twilight Zone The Movie was always a special film for me as it featured a return to the twisted universe of Rod Serling for veteran composer Jerry Goldsmith, who had cut his teeth on low budget shows of its kind in the late 1950s and early 1960s. When the film was announced on Blu Ray this was good news, as by and large the four segments still stand up well as stories (if you can stand the over-sentimental mawkishness of the Spielberg entry and the dire "acting" of the prologue in the car anyway...) However, early reviews and even the reverse of the Blu Ray box stated that the sound was in mono, which put me off a lot. However, upon purchasing this I was delighted to find that the audio is actually a superb 5.1 mix, with Goldsmith's powerful score pushed to the rear speakers a lot ... Read More:
