1.Destination Moon [1950] starring: John Archer, Warner Anderson, Tom Powers, Dick Wesson, Erin O'Brien-Moore directed by: Irving Pichel February 29, 2000
Average Rating: >>More Details		Used Price: £12.74
"Destination Moon" was the first major science fiction film produced in the United States and is credited with providing the genre with a realism that it had previously lacked. Based on Robert Heinlein's novel "Rocketship Galileo," this 1950 film does a pretty good job of working out the science for a trip for the moon, 19 years before it actually happened. Compare "Destination Moon" to the low budget "Rocketship X-M," which ws rushed into production by Robert L. Lippert to beat George Pal's movie to the theaters by three weeks, and you can see why it is this movie that is the most important American science fiction film before "2001: A Space Odyssey." Granted, with "Destination Moon" the historical impact greatly outweighs the artistic merits ... Read More:

I read the reviews here and elsewhere beforehand - thinking that the quality can't be that bad. Turns out some of the films are indeed downright unwatchable. I don't mind a little grit, but the fuzziness going on here is astonishing. I'll probably end up watching about half of the films before passing the whole thing on. At good quality this box would be worth four times as much. OK value, but beware.

3.She [1935] (REGION 1) (NTSC) starring: Helen Gahagan, Randolph Scott, Helen Mack, Nigel Bruce, Julius Adler directed by: Irving Pichel, Lansing C. Holden August 21, 2007

"I am yesterday, today, and tomorrow. I am sorrow and longing and hope unfulfilled. I am She Who Must Be Obeyed!" There's never been an entirely successful sound version of H. Rider Haggard's She, but on re-viewing, the 1935 version comes far closer than any of its rivals. After five silent versions of varying degrees of popularity, a lavish version reuniting many of the team behind King Kong must have seemed a box-office slamdunk (though not enough of one for RKO to approve the cost of filming in Three-Strip Technicolor), yet proved a flop on its original release. Subsequently cut for reissues, it was only because Buster Keaton had a print of the film in his own collection that it initially survived being lost altogether. At first ... Read More:

4.Deanna Durbin Sweetheart Pack (REGION 1) (NTSC) starring: Deanna Durbin, Charles Laughton, Robert Cummings, Ralph Bellamy, Binnie Barnes directed by: Charles David, Frank Ryan, Henry Koster, Irving Pichel August 03, 2004

Like many others, my view of Deanna Durbin was of a long-ago young star with a big voice, something like an early version of one of Lawrence Welk's interchangeable Barbi doll singers. After watching the six movies in the Deanna Durbin Sweetheart Pack - a title, incidentally, that does her reputation no good service, -- I've radically revised my estimation of her. In fact, if she'd ever been wooed out of retirement in the Sixties to play the determined, funny, poignant and sad force of nature named Momma Rose in Gypsy, I think Durbin could easily have wrestled Merman to a draw and would have thoroughly erased any thought of Rosalind Russell. She's that good. Durbin as Little Miss Fix-t? Durbin as the charming child next door? Durbin as the good ... Read More:

8.A Christmas Wish [1950] (REGION 1) (NTSC) starring: Jimmy Durante, Terry Moore, Tom Drake, Frank Orth, Sara Haden directed by: Irving Pichel November 04, 2003
Average Rating: >>More Details		Used Price:
If you are looking for a movie to watch on Christmas day with your family, in addition to the well known Christmas classics of your collection, I would recommend this unknown movie starring Jimmy Durante. This is a heart warming story of a true Christmas spirit, much similar to Scrooge, involving the family of Mr. Amendola (Jimmy Durante), his wife Mrs. Amendola (Quinie Smith), and their only daughter Rosalinda (Terry Moore.) Jimmy Durante offers a brilliant performance as a faded vaudeville star who rents an apartment just before Christmas holidays during Great depression. With serious financial problem on one hand, on the other, they face the challenges of their penny pinching land lord, Mr. Dingle (Frank Orth) who is interested in collecting the rent money but not fix the ...

When Mary Collins strides out utterly confident on stage to sing, I had a momentary flashback to Ethel Merman in 1959 striding down the theater aisle and calling, "Sing out, Louise, sing out!" Mary Collins, I mean Deanna Durbin at 26, was a supremely confident actress and singer, and there are a few times when you wouldn't want to get in her way. Balancing that are things Merman didn't have...a warm personality, a lovely face, a smile that could win you over and a voice that wouldn't break your eardrums. Merman was an amazing, one-of-a-kind performer; so was Deanna Durbin. What they share is a perfect confidence in their talent. With Something in the Wind, audiences were watching a romantic comedy with songs featuring a mature young woman they'd been in love with ... Read More:

Made in tandem [in 1932] with RKO true classic 'KING KONG'-----[the two movies were shot 'day-and-night' using much of the same studio jungle sets]------this is a teriffic early talkie horror/suspense effort that is up there with many of the finest UNIVERSAL horrors from the same period. Feauturing prime performances from FAY WRAY [no explanation of who she is neccessary] and ROBERT ARMSTRONG ['DENHAM', KONG'S showbiz charlatan captor] this views almost as a seperate thread to the classic events of KONG. Also containing a memorable appearance by NOBLE JOHNSON [the tribal leader of the natives in KONG], here unrecognizable as baddie ZAROFF'S mute leading manservant. The plot recounts the tale of shipwrecked victims marooned on COUNT ZAROFF'S [LESLIE BANKS, ... Read More:
