Average Rating: >>More Details		Used Price: £12.99
Knowing political analogy,incisive script, great acting , but primarily a gripping edge of your seat drama from one of the great movie directors. Why is it that movie companies seem eager to release so many mediocre movies on to DVD yet this masterpiece remains unavailable. Please , please release on DVD !

3.Cheyenne Autumn [1964] starring: Richard Widmark, Carroll Baker, Karl Malden, Sal Mineo, Dolores del Rio directed by: John Ford April 27, 1998
Average Rating: >>More Details		Used Price: £4.75
I have read the reviews about John Fords 'Cheyenne Autumn'. John Ford tried in this film I believe to highlight the truth about the american indians,the true native americans, not the different cultures who claimed to be americans. He tried to highlight the plight of the native americans and how they were forced from their native lands onto reservations where nothing except weeds would grow. They couldn't hunt buffalo because they like the indians had been hunted and killed almost to the point of extinction.In the 60's when the film had been made all the news had been about the civil rights movement and the rights of the black american citizens. John Ford tried to remind the american public that there was another race of people in America who weren't receiving ... Read More:

4.Bear Island [1979] starring: Donald Sutherland, Vanessa Redgrave, Richard Widmark, Christopher Lee, Barbara Parkins directed by: Don Sharp March 30, 1992
Average Rating: >>More Details		Used Price: £18.99
This is one great spy story and the film makes justice of the original Alistair Maclean novel. It's a shame we can only get a low quality VHS version of this classic. Other Maclean stories cinematic adaptations, like the Guns of Navarone or When Eagles Dare are already available in DVD. When will Bear Island come?

5.Agatha Christie's Murder On The Orient Express [1974] starring: Albert Finney, Lauren Bacall, Martin Balsam, Ingrid Bergman, Jacqueline Bisset directed by: Sidney Lumet August 21, 2000
Average Rating: >>More Details		Used Price: £0.95
I first read Murder on the Orient Express at school. Unlike most books where I ended up desperately trying to finish the book at 3:00 am the day before a test, I was unable to put this one down, and even (I admit with shame), had to check my room and under the bed for some terrible fear of seeing the 'woman in the scarlet kimono' or the 'small dark man with the womanish voice'. How excited I was to see the film. Unfortunately, I was a bit let down. This is down in part to two reasons. Firstly it is the length of the film which needed AT LEAST another hour to tell the story properly. Secondly, it is the fact that most of the all-star cast fall flat on their faces. Co. Arbuthnott is supposed to cold and unemotional, so what in God's name convinced ... Read More:

6.How The West Was Won starring: Carroll Baker, Lee J. Cobb, Henry Fonda, Carolyn Jones, Karl Malden directed by: Henry Hathaway, John Ford, George Marshall, Richard Thorpe April 03, 2000
Average Rating: >>More Details		Used Price: £3.49
Excellent restoration of the film and for the first time on DVD we now see ALL of the film - no cropping at the sides or the top. A remarkable amount of work has gone into removing the joins between the three panels of film which made Cinerama so unique, and in cleaning up the prints. The 5.1 sound does great justice to this fantastic telling of the west and how it was won!

7.Don't Bother To Knock [1952] starring: Richard Widmark, Marilyn Monroe, Anne Bancroft, Donna Corcoran, Jeanne Cagney directed by: Roy Ward Baker July 06, 1989
Average Rating: >>More Details		Used Price: £1.49
Anyone who says Marilyn Monroe was not a talented dramatic actress has never seen Donï¿½t Bother to Knock, a darkly unique entry among Marilynï¿½s filmography. This film marks Marilynï¿½s first dramatic starring role, and it is Marilyn as you would never see her again. She plays Nell, a deeply troubled young lady whose shyness and aloofness at first prove to be only the tip of the iceberg in relation to her problems. She has recently moved to New York to start her life over again, and her helpful uncle, an elevator operator in a grand hotel, has arranged for her to baby-sit a wealthy coupleï¿½s little girl for the night. This, as soon becomes apparent, was not a good idea. Her behavior becomes stranger and stranger as the night progresses, exacerbated by ... Read More:

8.Alamo [1960] starring: Richard Widmark, John Wayne, Richard Boone, Frankie Avalon, Patrick Wayne directed by: John Wayne February 22, 1993
Average Rating: >>More Details		Used Price: £2.65
This is a classic of a movie and I still watch to this day.Is it historically accurate? Im afraid not bit if you can get by this you will watch a truly magnificent movie with a great story,great actors and a great soundtrack.The colour in the movie is excellent and the sound is not bad cosidering the age of the movie,but if you want good entertainment then you need to get this super movie,along with The Searchers I would say these are the best John Wayne westerns in my humble opinion.The Alamo is a great watch and will suerely entertain you and your family,a must for your DVD collection.Hope review is of help.

9.To the Devil A Daughter [1976] starring: Richard Widmark, Christopher Lee, Nastassja Kinski, Honor Blackman, Denholm Elliott directed by: Peter Sykes May 01, 2000
Average Rating: >>More Details		Used Price: £1.35
To the Devil a Daughter was Hammer's last horror film, but it makes for a less than grand slice of guignol and pales in comparison to their earlier Dennis Wheatley adaptation, The Devil Rides Out. Richard Widmark is the imported American star battling Christopher Lee's Satanist while trying to protect Nastassja Kinski from becoming host to a demon, but despite a few good scenes the film never really makes much of its premise and the ending is one of the biggest anticlimaxes in the history of horror. The best part of it is the excellent documentary on Anchor Bay's Region 1 NTSC DVD, which is surprisingly frank about the film's shortcomings - including that non-ending - and Richard Widmark's tantrums on the set. Anchor Bay's transfer is also surprisingly good: unlike ... Read More:

10.Churchill - The Finest Hours [1964] starring: Orson Welles, Richard Widmark, Winston Churchill August 15, 1994
Average Rating: >>More Details		Used Price: £3.50
This is truly one of the most excellent, informative and well done biographical videos that it has been my pleasure to obtain. The narration and soundtrack to it are superb, and the accuracy is very well done as well. I recommend it highly to any fan or student of the life of the Honorable Sir Winston Churchill.
