1.Alfred Hitchcock Hours - Vol. 3 - Death Of A Joyful Woman / Captive Audience / Hangover [1962] directed by: László Benedek, John Brahm, Robert Stevens, Alex March, James H. Brown December 27, 1999
Average Rating: >>More Details		Used Price: £3.00
What ever Alfred Hitchcock you watch, there is always a twist at the end and these three stories hold no exception! One of them stars James Mason who also stared in one of Hitchs films, and with brilliant acting, actors and suspence this should be owned by every one, buy it know!

2.Columbo - Vol. 1: Pilot Episode: Prescription Murder / Episode 2: Deadweight starring: Peter Falk, Eddie Albert, Kate Reid, Suzanne Pleshette, John Kerr (II) directed by: Jack Smight October 18, 1999
Average Rating: >>More Details		Used Price: £2.75
Universal Video have surpassed themselves yet again. The very rare first episode of Columbo features a terrific performance by Peter Falk. Gene Barry is well-cast as the smooth psychiatrist. Able support from Nina Foch, Katherine Justice and the ever busy William Windom. Dead Weight features a top performance by guest star Eddie Albert who had just finished a long run on the popular Green Acres series. Kate Reid and Suzanne Pleshette round out the first rate cast.

3.The Battle Of Midway [1976] starring: Charlton Heston, Edward Albert, Henry Fonda, James Coburn, Glenn Ford directed by: Jack Smight July 01, 1999
Average Rating: >>More Details		Used Price: £0.41
I first saw this film at its cinematic release in 'sensaround'. This was a novel seat-shaker device installed in some US cinemas. When the planes' engines turned over the seat shook; when the bombs dropped the seat shook; when the Charlton Heston coughed the seat shook. At the time I was amazed. But then again, I was only nine years old! After watching the video, I was stunned to realize that almost no new action footage was shot for this film. Much was borrowed from the (still fantastic) Tora, Tora, Tora -- including the B17 landing with one wheel down scene and most of the Japanese carrier take-offs. The rest is stock footage from gun cameras and contemporary WWII documentary material. To a nine year old this all appeared rather seamless. ... Read More:

5.Harper [1966] starring: Paul Newman, Lauren Bacall, Julie Harris, Arthur Hill, Janet Leigh directed by: Jack Smight May 15, 2000
Average Rating: >>More Details		Used Price: £5.99
The music, the cars, and the size of Pamela Tiffin's bikini (not to mention her hair) are the big giveaways that this is a Sixties flick - but one without the usual camera trickery of the era. Instead, director Jack Smight goes for a straighforward private eye approach, although the colour and California sunshine rule out the look of a latter day film noir. Paul Newman is the title character, a seedy and cynical private eye investigating the disappearance of a singularly unloved millionaire. That Harper is seedy is amply illustrated under the opening credits. His cynicism is repeatedly demonstrated in William Goldman's terse and cutting dialogue, which Newman clearly enjoys delivering. The plot frequently takes a back seat to the parade of offbeat ... Read More:

8.Alfred Hitchcock Hours - Vol. 1 - I Saw The Whole Thing / The Black Curtain / Tangled Web [1962] directed by: László Benedek, John Brahm, Robert Stevens, Alex March, James H. Brown December 27, 1999
Average Rating: >>More Details		Used Price: £9.99
I love Hitchcock movies, so I was intrigued when these episodes came out on video. I bought the first volume, partly on the strength of the amazon reviews, but I'm now glad that I didn't go for the whole set at once. The storylines are predictable, not something I would ever expect in Hitchcock, and the acting is wooden in the first two episodes. The only aspect that relieves my regret ... is the last episode. The storyline is nothing special, but the acting is top notch, in particular the lead actress who has the most phenominal screen presence.
