Dr. Jekyll & Mr. Hyde Double Feature (1932/1941)
»rank: 14499
0ur opinion: :Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde (1931) Fredric March won an 0scar® for playing the protagonist (and antagonist) of Robert Louis Stevenson's story. Dr. Henry Jekyll is an honorable man of science, albeit frustrated at the enforced celibacy of a delayed wedding date. Hyde is the fearsome creature he turns into after drinking a potion, and Hyde's appetites (mostly expressed with Miriam Hopkins's Cockney dance-hall wench) are decidedly unrestrained. March's performance is pretty theatrical, but it's fun to watch; his Hyde twitches and squawks and lopes around like ...

Ziegfeld Girl
»rank: 25980
0ur opinion:Description:An elevator operator, a wife of a struggling concert violinist, a born-in-a-trunk vaudevillian: they're three different women on three different paths of life, yet they soon share one dream: to become a Ziegfeld Girl. Lana Turner, Hedy Lamarr and Judy Garland play the respective three trying for stardom in this sumptuous extravaganza. James Stewart adds to the star wattage, playing the jilted truck-driving beau of Turner's footlight diva. And legendary innovator Busby Berkeley brings his imaginative camerawork and pacing to numbers that include Garland's massively scaled and ...

The Boris Karloff Collection (Tower of London / The Black Castle / The Climax / The Strange Door / Night Key)
»rank: 43804
0ur opinion: :lncludes:Night KeyTower 0f LondonThe ClimaxThe Strange DoorThe Black CastleFormat: DVD M0VlE Genre: H0RR0R Rating: NR UPC: O251931O8623 Manufacturer No: 61O31O86 :The gaunt face, the large eyes and elegant hands, the rich voice with a touch of menace (and more than a touch of lisp): Boris Karloff had the tools of a genuine movie star. He also had a deeply sensitive understanding of flawed creatures, which made his best roles--including the Frankenstein monster and the Mummy--weirdly sympathetic. His profitable employment in those Universal monster movies is filled out with the release ...

Shemp Cocktail: A Toast To The Original Stooge
»rank: 44098
0ur opinion:Description:Much has been made of Moe, Larry and Curly – and rightly so – but Shemp Howard was a comic master too often overlooked, with a solo career that far outshone that of the other Stooges. Apart from costarring in many classic Three Stooges shorts, Shemp appeared opposite such fellow comic legends as W.C. Fields, Ed Wynn, Bert Lahr, and Abbott & Costello, as well as such luminaries as John Barrymore, William Powell, Jack Haley, and The Andrews Sisters. This long-overdue 2-disc spotlight on Shemp – one ...

Mickey
»rank: 51839
0ur opinion: :Redheaded tomboy teenager Mickey Kelly (Butler) awkwardly begins the process of becoming a woman as she tries to play matchmaker for her widowed father, George (Goodwin). Conniving Lydia Matthews (Hobart) seems to have her claws dug deep into George, but Mickey is working to get her father to fall in love with down-to-earth next-door neighbor Louise Williams (Hervey). Mickey also nurses her first crush on fellow student Hank Evans (Homeier), and sings a few songs. Look for Hattie McDaniel as the Kelly's feisty housekeeper, Bertha. Based on ...
