AAA+++B0016I0AJG42AJCTGKPXYG8DYAJCTGKPXYG8DYJames SegerThe Woodlands, TX United States22009-04-20Solid thriller set in a nightmare futureTerrific movie that manages to both be a `message movie' and still be entertaining. I wish modern sci-fi movies would look back to Soylent Green to see that sci-fi doesn't have to be dumb to be entertaining.
<br />
<br />Overpopulation is rampant. The ecology has been destroyed and the Earth is barely able to sustain the multiple billions of people living. A company called Soylent is responsible for feeding half of the planet, manufacturing food from soy beans and algae from the oceans.
<br />
<br />A top level executive with Soylent is murdered. All the evidence points to a random burglary gone wrong. Charleton Heston is the harried cop assigned to the case. The further he digs the more his superiors try to pull him off the case. What's going on and how does it relate to Soylent's newest foodstuff: Soylent Green?
<br />
<br />The concerns that this movie (and the original book Make Room! Make Room!) is based on, namely a book called The Population Bomb, has failed to come to pass, but the movie is still worth watching anyway. The realization of a hot grungy future with heat waves that can last a year or longer and not enough space for the vast numbers of people is brilliantly realized. Everyone except for the super-rich is sweaty and grimy. Dust fills the air. Riots are so out of control, dump trucks have to be called in for crowd control. The cops (including our hero) are all corrupt to varying degrees, yet you can see why they would be. There's just not enough to go around and everyone has to fight for whatever scraps they can get. The lack of computers and internet doesn't date this movie as care is taken to show there is barely enough power to keep the lights running.
<br />
<br />The mystery is teased out very well. Even if you already know the ultra famous end to the movie, it is still entertaining to see how they get there and to see the world that has been created.B0016I0AJG51A3FUWCQ7FO4D28A3FUWCQ7FO4D28Catherine SmithCateSurprise, Arizona22009-04-12Our future?WITH SUCH AN OUTSTANDING CAST, IT MUST BE SEEN.

I was only 13 when I first saw it, and to think 2012 is just a couple of years away. This made me realize how true this movie could become if we let the economy get as bad as it was in the movie. Definitely food for thought.DescriptionThe is the year 2022. Overcrowding, pollution, and resource depletion have reduced society's leaders to finding food for the teeming masses. The answer is Soylent Green - an artificial nourishment whose actual ingredients are not known by the public. Thorn is the tough homicide detective who stumbles onto the secret so terrifying no one would dare believe him.B000P0J0BUThe Omega ManB0013LL2Z2Logan's RunB000063UR1Silent RunningB00008438UThe Andromeda StrainB00004VVNDWestworld163442General163431Science Fiction & Fantasy404276Genres130DVD139452Video735712Totalitarian States292669By Theme510839011Science Fiction163431Science Fiction & Fantasy404276Genres130DVD139452Video735728Futuristic510839011Science Fiction163431Science Fiction & Fantasy404276Genres130DVD139452Video413160Bissell, Whit411316( B )404278Actors & Actresses251273011Custom Stores44261011Specialty Stores130DVD139452Video418438Connors, Chuck416120( C )404278Actors & Actresses251273011Custom Stores44261011Specialty Stores130DVD139452Video418854Cotten, Joseph416120( C )404278Actors & Actresses251273011Custom Stores44261011Specialty Stores130DVD139452Video420324Delevanti, Cyril419544( D )404278Actors & Actresses251273011Custom Stores44261011Specialty Stores130DVD139452Video420440Dennis, John419544( D )404278Actors & Actresses251273011Custom Stores44261011Specialty Stores130DVD139452Video422646Farley, Morgan422476( F )404278Actors & Actresses251273011Custom Stores44261011Specialty Stores130DVD139452Video427756Herbert, Tim426368( H )404278Actors & Actresses251273011Custom Stores44261011Specialty Stores130DVD139452Video429844Jenson, Roy429340( J )404278Actors & Actresses251273011Custom Stores44261011Specialty Stores130DVD139452Video431064Kelly, Paula430468( K )404278Actors & Actresses251273011Custom Stores44261011Specialty Stores130DVD139452Video434222Lovsky, Celia432148( L )404278Actors & Actresses251273011Custom Stores44261011Specialty Stores130DVD139452Video441334Peters, Brock440340( P )404278Actors & Actresses251273011Custom Stores44261011Specialty Stores130DVD139452Video443918Robinson, Edward G442578( R )404278Actors & Actresses251273011Custom Stores44261011Specialty Stores130DVD139452Video600330All Titles515794Warner Home Video468374Studio Specials251273011Custom Stores44261011Specialty Stores130DVD139452Video600320Horror515794Warner Home Video468374Studio Specials251273011Custom Stores44261011Specialty Stores130DVD139452Video600326Sci-Fi & Fantasy515794Warner Home Video468374Studio Specials251273011Custom Stores44261011Specialty Stores130DVD139452Video1265183011Movies & TV on DVD and Blu-ray Disc Trade-In44261011Specialty Stores130DVD139452Video387546011DVD387545011Format (binding)386709011Refinements130DVD139452Video390121011Widescreen390118011Picture Format (format)386709011Refinements130DVD139452Video405386011PG405383011MPAA Rating (feature_browse-bin)386709011Refinements130DVD139452Video405391011US & CA DVDs: Region 1405390011Region (feature_two_browse-bin)386709011Refinements130DVD139452Video5620890111970 - 1979562084011Decade (feature_three_browse-bin)386709011Refinements130DVD139452Video617866011English598208011Original Language (theme_browse-bin)386709011Refinements130DVD139452Video603113011Dolby603112011Special Editions (feature_four_browse-bin)386709011Refinements130DVD139452Video671505011Standard Edition603112011Special Editions (feature_four_browse-bin)386709011Refinements130DVD139452Video643791011Grade Level (feature_five_browse-bin)643792011Preschool643793011Kindergarten643794011Elementary School643800011Middle & High School643808011College643809011Post-Graduate386709011Refinements130DVD139452Video671508011Dolby671506011Audio Type (feature_six_browse-bin)386709011Refinements130DVD139452VideoRE8PR7TNPB8ZREco-mania, Media-mania, Corporate-mania, Future-maniaRIUHRYMZEF8JLMore Sistas + Whiteguys FlicksR1BR46L15O5XWVMore Great Horror Movies (By Category-Part I)R2CCPLD4X7I5B4A Future So Bleak: Hope and DespairR16MP5D5MA7T6ESci-Fi: DystopiasR3CP7TPPPC48K8Lo-Fi Sci-FiR1WK1VC11QSMTVBest Horror Films of All TimeR3ALXRAQKCMP3LMovies You Should SeeR296BE39CZBZGM5 Movies: GREENR17J2JLMUP7Q3HClassic Science Fiction Films

Tuggleillustrator02009-06-23Comedy at it's best, esp. if for Doris Day fansLike her other comedies, this one is hilarious from beginning to end. Worth adding to your DVD collection. The extra features include some interesting factoids about the making of this movie; there's a lot of 'I didn't know that' type of good trivia information like Marilyn Monroe and Dean Martin were originally cast for this movie.B000JJSJPK30APBNLLYCJM8YEAPBNLLYCJM8YERoy AndersonWar Buff - and civilian combattant.Mount Brydges, Ont. Canada.02009-05-19inferior copyThis additional remake of the Grant and Dunne Classic 'My Favourite Wife', is an inferior copy. James Garner brings a spark of 'class' and true acting ability, to the film, but Doris Day is far from being an accomplished actress - in spite of a pleasant voice and a pleasing appearance and disposition.
<br />
<br />This movie is NOT a patch on the earlier 'My Favourite Wife', starring Cary Grant and Irene Dunne.
<br />
<br />Re-makes sometimes work - this one didn't!B000JJSJPK41A276M3NSIY9B82A276M3NSIY9B82Harry BrewerS'port, La.12009-01-25Move Over, DarlingMove Over, Darling was the first of two pairings for Doris Day & James Garner. Move Over, Darling is easily the best of the two. It was directed by Michael Gordon, producers were Aaron Rosenberg & Martin Melcher (husband to Ms. Day). Even Terry Melcher (son & later record producer for Paul Revere & the Raiders) co-wrote the opening credits song.
<br />
<br />The film opens with Ellen Arden (Doris Day) arriving in California on a U.S. Navy submarine. She's been missing for five years after a plane crash in the Pacific. Nick Arden (James Garner) is a lawyer who is (was) married to her. After five years he's having her declared legally dead so that he may marry Bianca Steele (Polly Bergen). Judge Bryson (Edgar Buchanan) oversees the case. He has only two scenes in the movie & he's hilarious in both.
<br />
<br />All the incidents stem from Nick Arden's new marriage to Ms. Steele & the arrival of Mrs. Arden. Ellen does everything she can to keep Nick's marriage from being consummated. Nick still loves his first wife & would rather be with her but he doesn't know how, or isn't brave enough, to tell his second wife who he would rather be with. A lot of comical situations occur throughout the movie. The biggest stems from the fact that there was a man on the island with Ellen for the five years. Steve Burkett (Chuck Connors) was the other man & he's not anything like the man that Ellen initially describes. She gets a shoe salesman (Don Knotts) to portray the island man.
<br />
<br />There are several bonus features included with the DVD. They are: "The Amazing Road to Move Over, Darling", "Doris Day vs. Marilyn Monroe", "A Conversation With Polly Bergen", a photo gallery & a 1911 film by D.W. Griffith from 1911 "Enoch Arden" Part 2". If the film seems familiar, it is, it's a remake of My Favorite Wife that starred Cary Grant & Irene Dunne. This was also the film that Marilyn Monroe was working on when she passed away. THAT would have been an entirely different movie.B000JJSJPK50A1HCFRHIAE0T63A1HCFRHIAE0T63MediamanTVviewerUSA02008-07-29One of Doris Day's BestThis fantastic remake of an old Cary Grant movie about a woman who returns home after being pronounced dead is one that can be watched over and over by the whole family. It is one of Doris Day's best and James Garner makes a great partner for her in this film. There are other great supporting players, though Polly Bergen seems to be miscast. Doris's "massage" where she references the old Cary Grant movie is hilarious! A movie worth getting!B000JJSJPK41AKX1ENENPCVFQAKX1ENENPCVFQMillie E. CarricoMovie Lover12008-05-06Saw all the movie!This was a treat! Finally getting to see the entire movie without the parts they cut out for commercials! Only saw the movie on TV old movies, so some parts of it I had never seen. It is my favorite Doris Day movie!
<br />DescriptionSay "I do" to "madcap comedy" (Box Office) and "exuberant farce" (Film Daily) in this feel-good romp about one groom, two wives and one delightfully daffy honeymoon! Starring Doris Day, James Garner and Polly Bergen, Move Over, Darling is "a funny, funny film!" (Hollywood Citizen News) that's the perfect union of "humor, romance and heart" (The Hollywood Reporter)! <P>Five years after losing his first wife Ellen (Day) at sea, Nick (Garner) is finally ready to have her declared legally dead, get remarried and settle down to a peaceful second marriage! But wedded bliss becomes marital mayhem when Ellen turns up alive -- with a hilarious, hair-brained scheme to win back her husband, put a stop to the honeymoon and give first love a second chance-at happily-ever-after!Amazon.comDoris Day, the perky, chaste adult star of an odd collection of winking 1960s sex comedies, takes the Irene Dunne role in this remake of the comedy classic <I>My Favorite Wife</I>. As the survivor of a five-year ordeal on a desert island, she returns home the very day her husband has remarried. James Garner, trading his <I>Maverick</I> impish humor and con man cool for a mugging performance of double takes and pratfalls, is her overjoyed husband who is too cowardly to tell his neurotic bride (Polly Bergen). All of this, naturally, leads to a ridiculously complicated plot that combines door-slamming sex farce with mistaken identities (Day poses as a Swedish masseuse) and a goofy sped-up car chase. Chuck Connors, who costars as Day's hunky, he-man island mate "Adam," leads a topnotch supporting cast that includes sassy Thelma Ritter as Garner's no-nonsense mother, Don Knotts as a nervous shoe salesman enlisted by Day to impersonate Adam, Fred Clark at his indignant best, and John Astin and Pat Harrington in early roles. Edgar Buchanan practically steals the film as a gruff, irascible judge who growls through the legal circus that forms the film's chaotic climax. The cast for the most part rises above the tepid script and bland direction and Day sings two songs.

<br />Review of "Savage Sam".
<br />If you have never seen "Old Yeller", you will not be so disappointed by "Savage Sam", and may enjoy it.
<br />
<br />Dorothy McGuire and Fess Parker are noticeably absent. Beverly Washburn, the girl who played Elizabeth Searcy the daughter of the lazy neighbor is replaced by another actress breaking believability. Elizabeth's part was small but memorable, and she could not be replaced without notice, or even left out without notice. The dog is not the yellow dog pup we saw at the end of "Old Yeller". The film begins repeating things done in "Old Yeller" in an attempt to connect us to "Old Yeller", is really lazy trading on "Old Yeller" instead of coming up with something new. Disney had several of the original actors under contract, still had the cabin set, and decided to make some easy money without putting any effort into the script. Disney got away with shooting Texas in California in "Old Yeller", but could not get away with trying to tell us the Indians in this film are Apache and Comanche amidst California Oak trees when such Indians inhabited the red rocks of Arizona.
<br />
<br />Kevin Corcoran was charming in earlier films "Old Yeller", "Swiss Family Robinson", "Pollyanna", and "Toby Tyler" just playing himself, and reacting as a kid his age would, but here he has grown much bigger, 6-years after the first film, and outgrown those roles. A kid his age and size in this film would respond differently. The writers here force cuteness that looks out of place. Brian Keith should have used his normal voice instead of using an odd accent for no purpose.
<br />
<br />The writers could not successfully continue the story without Beverly Washburn who played Elizabeth, because her continuing romance with Tommy Kirk is the next logical step. Disney should have wined and dined her to get her to appear. Even a 30-second appearance by Fess Parker and Dorothy McGuire at the beginning would have helped immensely. Otherwise, Disney would have been better off putting Tommy and Kevin in an entirely different film. It is a lazy script. I heard Mr. Searcy wrote the script.
<br />
<br />"Old Yeller" is a great film.B000AJJNIG50A3QL4I3TWE3Y7MA3QL4I3TWE3Y7MElizabeth NijokaTexas02009-04-02Classic all children should seeEvery child needs to see this movie.

I cry everytime I watch it!! If you are a dog lover, it is the best, and especially hits close to home if you have a yellow lab, as I do. This is a must have movie.
<br />Savage Sam is not a tear jerker, but if you see Ol' Yeller you must also own Savage Sam.DescriptionOLD YELLER: Walt Disney's first and quintessential film about a boy's love for his dog is now an American original as much as it is a Disney classic. No film better portrays the powerful emotions of hope, courage, and friendship. When his younger brother adopts a frisky lop-eared stray, 15-year-old Travis (Tommy Kirk), acting "man-of-the-house," tries to shoo him away. But Old Yeller soon proves he is anything but "yellow" when he protects the family farm and saves Travis' life. From its charming simplicity to its gripping conclusion, the drama, humor and heart of OLD YELLER belong in everyone's collection. SAVAGE SAM: Now discover what happens next in SAVAGE SAM, the sequel to Walt Disney's classic adventure OLD YELLER, where adopting a new pup sets the stage for more thrills in the untamed West. With his two young masters Travis and Arliss Coates (Tommy Kirk, Kevin Corcoran), gentle and true-blue Sam faces even greater dangers than Yeller. From the ferocious attacks of wolves and wildcats to tracking renegade wrongdoers, our four-legged hero proves his pedigree. SAVAGE SAM is a compelling story of love, devotion, and trust that is sure to win your heart.B000069I1JThe YearlingB0002S64VOWhere the Red Fern GrowsB00005RRG7Swiss Family Robinson (Vault Disney Collection)B001AO3Y4OAmerican Frontier Classics:: Where the Red Fern GrowsB0001I55WODavy Crockett -Two Movie Set163306General163296Action & Adventure404276Genres130DVD139452Video163350General163345Classics404276Genres130DVD139452Video163390General163379Drama404276Genres130DVD139452Video163417General163414Kids & Family404276Genres130DVD139452Video722769011General AAS507990Classics163414Kids & Family404276Genres130DVD139452Video300399Drama163414Kids & Family404276Genres130DVD139452Video595062Family Films163414Kids & Family404276Genres130DVD139452Video291008General163312Westerns404276Genres130DVD139452Video291054Classics163312Westerns404276Genres130DVD139452Video409778Acosta, Rodolfo409682( A )404278Actors & Actresses251273011Custom Stores44261011Specialty Stores130DVD139452Video416396Campos, Rafael416120( C )404278Actors & Actresses251273011Custom Stores44261011Specialty Stores130DVD139452Video418438Connors, Chuck416120( C )404278Actors & Actresses251273011Custom Stores44261011Specialty Stores130DVD139452Video419798Dano, Royal419544( D )404278Actors & Actresses251273011Custom Stores44261011Specialty Stores130DVD139452Video430934Keith, Brian430468( K )404278Actors & Actresses251273011Custom Stores44261011Specialty Stores130DVD139452Video431572Kirk, Tommy430468( K )404278Actors & Actresses251273011Custom Stores44261011Specialty Stores130DVD139452Video431980Kristen, Marta430468( K )404278Actors & Actresses251273011Custom Stores44261011Specialty Stores130DVD139452Video435546Martin, Dewey434574( M )404278Actors & Actresses251273011Custom Stores44261011Specialty Stores130DVD139452Video436478McGuire, Dorothy434574( M )404278Actors & Actresses251273011Custom Stores44261011Specialty Stores130DVD139452Video440634Parker, Fess440340( P )404278Actors & Actresses251273011Custom Stores44261011Specialty Stores130DVD139452Video441580Pickens, Slim440340( P )404278Actors & Actresses251273011Custom Stores44261011Specialty Stores130DVD139452Video453600York, Jeff453438( Y )404278Actors & Actresses251273011Custom Stores44261011Specialty Stores130DVD139452Video462494Stevenson, Robert403580( S )403502Directors251273011Custom Stores44261011Specialty Stores130DVD139452Video462856Tokar, Norman462650( T )403502Directors251273011Custom Stores44261011Specialty Stores130DVD139452Video579540( O )579510Titles251273011Custom Stores44261011Specialty Stores130DVD139452Video300382All Disney Titles300381Walt Disney Studios Home Entertainment251273011Custom Stores44261011Specialty Stores130DVD139452Video1261364011Movies & TV: Disney Dogs: Space Buddies, 101 Dalmatians, Goofy, Air Bud, Old Yeller251273011Custom Stores44261011Specialty Stores130DVD139452Video672579011The Kids and Family Mega Sale: DVDs, Toys, and Customized Music44261011Specialty Stores130DVD139452Video387546011DVD387545011Format (binding)386709011Refinements130DVD139452Video405385011G405383011MPAA Rating (feature_browse-bin)386709011Refinements130DVD139452Video405391011US & CA DVDs: Region 1405390011Region (feature_two_browse-bin)386709011Refinements130DVD139452Video5620880111960 - 1969562084011Decade (feature_three_browse-bin)386709011Refinements130DVD139452Video617866011English598208011Original Language (theme_browse-bin)386709011Refinements130DVD139452Video603123011Closed Caption603112011Special Editions (feature_four_browse-bin)386709011Refinements130DVD139452Video671505011Standard Edition603112011Special Editions (feature_four_browse-bin)386709011Refinements130DVD139452Video643791011Grade Level (feature_five_browse-bin)643792011Preschool643793011Kindergarten643794011Elementary School643800011Middle & High School643808011College643809011Post-Graduate386709011Refinements130DVD139452Video671506011Audio Type (feature_six_browse-bin)671507011Digital Sound671508011Dolby671509011Surround Sound386709011Refinements130DVD139452VideoRKNBQGC9CKCXOANIMAL FLICKSRZIMUUD81PDMIMy all-time favorite movies, Part 1R3CMZGCWPSXKHODisney Collection 2R1MPP60TPOPL3DIntroduce Your Kids to Classic Film!R32HQTI20JTBYRfamily flicksR2EIM87TSCMNTVMy favorite Disney moviesR35TYADAK4XOGC100 GREATEST MOVIES PT.1R30GD2HXI0CLODTearjerkerR1K3W9ED4MJ0D0Disney Live-Action Movies and Television from the 1940s and 1950sRGAX5VYZIUXODDisney Live-Action Movies from the 1960s

BramlettLizaTucson, AZ02009-02-26See it for the clothes and the setsI tend to agree with the customer review titled "Woefully Dated." This film may have been "hilarious" back in the 1950s, but it hasn't stood the test of time. And the inclusion of the brain damaged ex-fighter was enough for me to not like the story. I would say that if you are not of this time then you might not appreciate 50s comedy and you won't be laughing. However, if you are interested in late 50's fashion, this film is a must have. The clothes and the sets are outstanding. I'm giving this film three stars for its value as cultural artificat.B00005U2KJ52A2SZLX5PITQ2WVA2SZLX5PITQ2WVV. B. Norrisboots_215322007-10-18Designing WomanDesigning Woman is a romantic comedy starring Lauren Bacall and Gregory Peck. After their marriage is the moment the excitement begins /getting to know one another. It is fun to watch Mr. Peck's character explaining his marriage to his former girlfriend, Dolores Gray. How true to life is the uniting of "Miss" Bacall's and Ms. Gray's characters. I enjoyed counting the wardrobe changes made by "Miss" Bacall. She proved herself to be the consummate actress as she made this movie during the time her husband, Humprey Bogart, was sick. I am a collector of classic movies. Since I own on VHS and/or DVD all the movies "Miss Bacall and Mr. Bogart made together, I had to have this one also. I encourage you to purchase this movie for your collection. You won't be disappointed. Enjoy!B00005U2KJ48A3L1RFRDUDMT9NA3L1RFRDUDMT9Ninframanthe lower depths102002-09-16Watch it for Dolores Gray & Jack Cole!This movie might have been tangier with Hepburn & Tracy, but it has some nice moments. Minelli was a stylish director & it shows here. But the real treat for those of us who remember the great 50s musicals of Hollywood & Broadway was the presence of Dolores Gray and Jack Cole, sadly quite limited here. Ms. Gray in this film and in It's Always Fair Weather & Kismet could blow the roof off with her magnificent voice and presence. Jack Cole was one of the great dancers and choreographers of that era - a major influence on many choreographers who followed. This film is a special gem for preserving some fine examples of work by these two great performers.B00005U2KJ518A2QKJCQMACNIACA2QKJCQMACNIACDivine Miss MLos Angeles, CA202002-06-28The Original Sex and the CityIn this film, Lauren Bacall hilariously portrays the quintessential high-society, high-fashion New Yorker. While on a trip to Beverly Hills, she meets and spontaneously marries the wonderful Gregory Peck - an unassuming sports writer who has no idea exactly what he's married into. Upon their return to New York, Peck's character discovers he's married the darling of New York society as his wife is a renowned designer (think Edith Head or Helen Rose). What ensues is hilarious encounters between her society coterie and his down-home group of blue-collar writers, setting up perfectly for the witty repartee between Bacall and Peck that defines the movie. The film culminates in a fashion show-boxing rumble, once again intersecting the seemingly divergent lives of Bacall and Peck.<p>"Designing Woman" is a wonderful movie that gives ample opportunity for the magnificent Gregory Peck to show off his comedic skills, however subtly. I saw this film after "Roman Holiday" and it cemented my image of Peck as a dashing and charming leading man who brings out the comedic best in his leading ladies. The chemistry between Bacall and Peck is evident throughout the movie and is a testament to the adage "Opposites do attract."<p>This is a complete, well-told story with a solid set of supporting characters. This movie is for all those people looking for that rare superb romantic comedy. The delightful depiction of New York society makes us nostalgic for the days before the Hilton sisters.B00005U2KJ513AU78WGAXA3IY1AU78WGAXA3IY1Winter 'sKilling Frost162002-05-16Tremendously funnyI love Gregory Peck. I love him as the serious, morally righteous attorney, the dashing naval captain, you name it. So, really, I should have known that he could pull off a comedic role as well. No one, I don't think, could have known how well he'd pull it off. <p>From his first hilarious hangover to the last "cross-eyed" fight scene, Peck is enchanting. He's completely believable in his role as a sports writer caught up in a new world of dresses and strange choreographers intruding on his poker night. And perhaps it's because he's not known as a comedic actor that he's all the more funny.<p>Designing Woman seems to be a little known film, but I'm certainly glad I found it because it kept me laughing, which brought others into the room to watch it with me. Now I just wish that Peck had made more movies like this.Product DescriptionSportswriter gregory peck marries fashion designer lauren bacall and their two different working worlds collide bluntly and hilariously. Features: cast/director highlights: subtitles in english french spanish portuguese chinese thai and korean: vintage publicity interview with helen rose. Studio: Warner Home Video Release Date: 02/05/2002 Starring: Gregory Peck Lauren Bacall Run time: 117 minutes Rating: Nr Director: Vincente MinnelliAmazon.com essential videoAnyone who thinks that <I>Men Are from Mars, Women Are from Venus</I> is a cutting-edge idea will be surprised by <I>Designing Woman</I>, a 1957 comedy starring Gregory Peck as a sports writer who falls madly in love with fashion designer Lauren Bacall. The twofold plot springs from a combination of Bacall's jealous efforts to learn the identity of Peck's previous lover and Peck's reckless exposé of a gangster who rigs boxing matches--but the movie's real enjoyment comes from its depiction of the athletic and arts worlds, each spun as a reflection of the male and female mind, respectively. While Peck and Bacall aren't noted for their comic chops, they acquit themselves respectably; Bacall has the more flamboyant role, but Peck draws low-key humor from his character's smug and blinkered perceptions. <I>Designing Woman</I> is directed by Vincente Minnelli (who also directed <I>Meet Me in St. Louis</I>, <I>An American in Paris</I>, and <I>Gigi</I>), so it's not surprising that the movie flares most to life during a few musical sequences--sneaked into the plot because Bacall has been commissioned to design a Broadway show, whose star just happens to be Peck's former paramour--culminating in a back-alley fight staged as a brawling ballet. <I>--Bret Fetzer</I>B00004TZRZGood NewsB0001WTWRYThe Bachelor and the Bobby SoxerB00009M9AGThe Prince and the PauperB000EU1Q1IJezebel (Restored and Remastered Edition)B000FFJYAWTo Have and Have Not (Keepcase)163371General163357Comedy404276Genres130DVD139452Video523936Classic Comedies163357Comedy404276Genres130DVD139452Video722747011General AAS163375Romantic Comedies163357Comedy404276Genres130DVD139452Video163390General163379Drama404276Genres130DVD139452Video722753011General AAS163394Love & Romance163379Drama404276Genres130DVD139452Video13745361Designing Women357311011D356468011TV Series By Letter163450Television404276Genres130DVD139452Video411336Bacall, Lauren411316( B )404278Actors & Actresses251273011Custom Stores44261011Specialty Stores130DVD139452Video418438Connors, Chuck416120( C )404278Actors & Actresses251273011Custom Stores44261011Specialty Stores130DVD139452Video425748Gray, Dolores424172( G )404278Actors & Actresses251273011Custom Stores44261011Specialty Stores130DVD139452Video427584Helmore, Tom426368( H )404278Actors & Actresses251273011Custom Stores44261011Specialty Stores130DVD139452Video433408Levene, Sam432148( L )404278Actors & Actresses251273011Custom Stores44261011Specialty Stores130DVD139452Video437894Moore, Alvy434574( M )404278Actors & Actresses251273011Custom Stores44261011Specialty Stores130DVD139452Video437958Moore, Matt434574( M )404278Actors & Actresses251273011Custom Stores44261011Specialty Stores130DVD139452Video436022McAvoy, May434574( M )404278Actors & Actresses251273011Custom Stores44261011Specialty Stores130DVD139452Video441046Peck, Gregory440340( P )404278Actors & Actresses251273011Custom Stores44261011Specialty Stores130DVD139452Video444538Rubin, Benny442578( R )404278Actors & Actresses251273011Custom Stores44261011Specialty Stores130DVD139452Video446206Shaughnessy, Mickey444858( S )404278Actors & Actresses251273011Custom Stores44261011Specialty Stores130DVD139452Video452302White, Jesse451116( W )404278Actors & Actresses251273011Custom Stores44261011Specialty Stores130DVD139452Video452822Wilson, Harry451116( W )404278Actors & Actresses251273011Custom Stores44261011Specialty Stores130DVD139452Video460020Minnelli, Vincente459370( M )403502Directors251273011Custom Stores44261011Specialty Stores130DVD139452Video579518( D )579510Titles251273011Custom Stores44261011Specialty Stores130DVD139452Video387546011DVD387545011Format (binding)386709011Refinements130DVD139452Video390121011Widescreen390118011Picture Format (format)386709011Refinements130DVD139452Video405384011Unrated405383011MPAA Rating (feature_browse-bin)386709011Refinements130DVD139452Video405391011US & CA DVDs: Region 1405390011Region (feature_two_browse-bin)386709011Refinements130DVD139452Video5620870111950 - 1959562084011Decade (feature_three_browse-bin)386709011Refinements130DVD139452Video617866011English598208011Original Language (theme_browse-bin)386709011Refinements130DVD139452Video603123011Closed Caption603112011Special Editions (feature_four_browse-bin)386709011Refinements130DVD139452Video671505011Standard Edition603112011Special Editions (feature_four_browse-bin)386709011Refinements130DVD139452Video643791011Grade Level (feature_five_browse-bin)643792011Preschool643793011Kindergarten643794011Elementary School643800011Middle & High School643808011College643809011Post-Graduate386709011Refinements130DVD139452Video671506011Audio Type (feature_six_browse-bin)671507011Digital Sound671508011Dolby671509011Surround Sound386709011Refinements130DVD139452Video1288264011All product1267878011Products12678770111294451011Blu-ray & DVD1267878011Products1267877011R2O4N6O0GYK9ICHave a Girls Night In with Classic Films!R3VMLM76AQEU0GIf you want to discover Gregory Peck (1916 - 2003) - 1st part.RSRZ304TSRETK10 Best Films of 1957R27QXE2TKDWG9OLauren: Classic Movies of Lauren BacallR1B66U7MTFOCAWThe Best Films of 1957R16EXFYFRCH9BAHollywood films I have seen 93PX7TIHER2XFBWatch a Good Vincente Minnelli Movie!1C9SZJ9KIJQ7ZLauren Bacall's Movies3UDEJNBT0I58TGregory Peck: His Best Films27Y12FGKZ31RWWatch some more great old romantic movies!!

It stars Gregory Peck, Jean Simmons, Carroll Baker, Charlton Heston, Burl Ives, Charles Bickford, and Chuck Connors. Based on the novel by Donald Hamilton.
<br />
<br />Ives won the Academy Award as Best Supporting Actor as well as the Golden Globe Award. The film was also nominated for an Academy Award for the musical score by Jerome Moross.
<br />Wealthy, newly-retired sea captain and ship-owner James McKay (Gregory Peck) travels to the American west to rejoin his fiancée Patricia (Carroll Baker), whom he had met back East, at the enormous ranch of her father, Major Terrill (Charles Bickford). Terrill is a powerful rancher who is feuding with the equally tough patriarch of a poorer, uncouth, and less refined clan, Rufus Hannassey (Burl Ives). Patricia's best friend, schoolteacher Julie Maragon (Jean Simmons), is caught between the two, as she is the owner of the "Big Muddy", a (smaller) big ranch with a vital source of water desired by both men; Hannassey desperately needs it for his cattle, while Terrill wants to gain control of it to bring his rival down.
<br />
<br />McKay is a puzzle to Major Terrill, his foreman Steve Leech (Charlton Heston) and even his fiancee; he refuses to be provoked into proving his manhood, even when harassed. We learn that McKay's father died in a duel, and -- as McKay explains to Terrill -- no one could remember what the duel was about. One morning, McKay rides out alone, goes to the Big Muddy, and persuades Julie to sell him the ranch, promising her that both the Terrills and the Hannesseys will always have access to the river, hoping that this will defuse the conflict. She agrees to the sale.
<br />
<br />Back at the Terrill ranch, everyone believes McKay is lost. A search party is organized and spends two days looking for him. When McKay shows up, and says he knew where he was all the time, Leech -- who is himself in love with Patricia -- calls him a liar in front of Patricia and the Major. McKay refuses to be goaded into a fight. In private, Patricia expresses her shame at what she sees as McKay's cowardice. McKay tells her he'll be moving into town in the morning, to give them both time to think things over. Early the next morning, McKay goes out to the bunkhouse to settle things with Leech. They fight away from the house, without witnesses, to an exhausted draw - which, as McKay points out, has solved precisely nothing. Leech gains a new respect for McKay.
<br />
<br />Later, Patricia discovers from Julie that McKay has bought the Big Muddy, and goes into town to try to make up with him. However, when she mentions her father's plans for the Big Muddy, McKay tells her it's over, as he will have no part in continuing the feud. Patricia explodes with rage, telling him that he'll never be half the man her father is.
<br />
<br />Terrill orders Leech and his men to drive the Hannassey's cattle away from watering at the Big Muddy. Hannassey, desperate, contrives a plot to kidnap Julie Maragon. Rufus offers to buy the Big Muddy in exchange for her freedom. He doesn't know whether to believe her when she tells him she has already sold the Big Muddy to McKay. Hannassey decides to keep her at the ranch, as the bait for an ambush he has prepared for Terrill and his men. To rescue Julie, they must pass through the narrow canyon leading up to the Hannassey homestead, where they can be easily gunned down.
<br />
<br />McKay rides in alone, despite Terrill's opposition, to try seek a peaceful solution. Hannessey's eldest son Buck (Chuck Connors), who wants Julie for himself, tells her to lie to McKay about her reason for being there, or he will shoot him. McKay arrives and shows Hannassey the deed to Big Muddy, and promises him access to the water there. When Hannassey says he intends to fight Terrill anyway, McKay confronts him with the truth - that it is all just about a personal vendetta between two ruthless, vicious old men who are willing to get a lot of others killed to settle their feud. Julie, whose feelings for McKay are by now obvious, tries to protect him by saying she is there willingly, but McKay doesn't believe her. McKay and Buck begin to fight, but Rufus stops it when Buck draws on an unarmed McKay. He then decides they will settle it "gentleman style", with the dueling pistols in McKay's saddlebag. He warns the two men that he'll shoot either one of them if they violate the rules.
<br />
<br />After walking off ten paces, both men turn and aim. Buck fires before the signal, grazing McKay's forehead. McKay slowly and deliberately takes aim. Defenseless, Buck succumbs to fear and drops to the ground in terror. McKay then fires his shot into the dirt. Hannassey walks over and spits on his son for his humiliating cowardice. As McKay and Julie prepare to leave, Buck grabs a gun from a ranch hand, but Hannassey shoots and kills him.
<br />
<br />Meantime, Terrill, Leech and their men have ridden into the ambush and are pinned down in the canyon. Although Leech realized that the risk was too great, he is unable to dissuade Terrill from going into the canyon, and ultimately Leech follows him in out of loyalty. Acknowledging the truth of McKay's accusation, Hannassey orders his men to hold their fire. He then challenges Terrill to come out and face him man to man. The two men walk to a final showdown and kill each other. McKay and Julie ride out together.
<br />
<br />
<br />[edit] Commentary on the Cold War
<br />The Big Country came out during the Cold War and in the aftermath of the McCarthy hearings. The film depicts the two alternatives of diplomacy (taught by McKay) and brinkmanship and personal grudges leading to mutually assured destruction (Terrill and Hannessey). Moreover, The Big Country depicts McKay grudgingly earning the respect of others and of the audience. It is said that President Dwight D. Eisenhower showed the movie several times in the White House during his second administration.

<br />B000056H2H52A3GD9BKIUT3I89A3GD9BKIUT3I89L. Cabosplanet earth22009-02-19A Big MovieThe film that Wyler did just before BEN-HUR is a remarkable western epic in the true tradition. What else can you expect from a movie that boasts the star power of Gregory Peck, Jean Simmons, Charlton Heston, Charles Bickford, Burl Ives (in probably the finest performance in his much under-rated career), Caroll Baker and Chuck Connors. Shot on a wide panorama with one of the most recognized pieces of theme music in the history of movies. A clash of civilizations on several levels. First there is the east versus west as portrayed in the Peck and Heston characters. Then there is the clash between the Terrells and the Hennesseys. Infact, crude and uneducated, we come to see that both men are wrong but you feel alot more sympathy for Burl Ives' character than you ever feel for Charles Bickford's Terrell. You gotta love Chuck Connors -- forget Lucas McCain, this is his best role. He is such an utter cur with absolutely no redeeming traits: a bully, liar, coward -- and those are his good qualities! Unfortunately, MGM issued this pretty lean, no extras. Pity, a documentary on the film of this magnitude is demanded. B000056H2H40A2PV1UJDGG3JQHA2PV1UJDGG3JQHDarlene J. Schraeder22009-02-16The Big CountryThe picture was great- good quality. My husband was disapointed because the picture was not full screen. DescriptionOne of Hollywood's greatest directors teams with a cast of incredible screen legends for this bold,sweeping tale of a ship's captain who ventures west to find a hotbed of jealousy, hatred and dangerous rivalries. As the reluctant hero is thrust into the maelstrom, he must summon all of his resolveto save not only his own life, but also the life of the woman he loves. Four-time Academy AwardÂ(r) winner* William Wyler directs this action-packed adventure that triumphs as "a work of art" (Motion Picture Herald). Starring Gregory Peck, Charlton Heston, Jean Simmons, Chuck Connors and Burl Ives (in an OscarÂ(r)-winning** performance), this magnificently entertaining epic will take your breath away with unbridled suspense, exhilarating excitement and explosive drama on a grand scale.Amazon.com essential videoWilliam Wyler directed this epic Western, about the clash of East and West, intellect and action. Gregory Peck stars as a sea captain who moves way out West to marry Carroll Baker and become part of the ranch owned by her father (Charles Bickford). But he discovers that daddy's top hand (Charlton Heston) carries a torch for Baker and doesn't particularly like Peck stepping into his place. Peck also finds himself caught in the midst of a power struggle between Bickford and his surly neighbor, Burl Ives (and his reprehensibly bullying son, Chuck Connors).

RobertsNorth Carolina12008-07-14Hepburn/Tracy film collectionThe three movies included in this Hepburn/Tracy collection are some of my favorites and it's great to have them in a set.DescriptionKatharine Hepburn and Spencer Tracy: The Signature Collection. The films included are Woman of the Year, Pat and Mike, Adam's Rib and The Spencer Tracy Legacy. Woman of the Year (1942) was the first collaboration between Hepburn and Tracy, and you can see why it was the spark that ignited the flame that lasted 25 years, in this classic battle of the sexes. In Adam's Rib (1949), the duo are back at it again, except this time they are in the courtroom battling it out as two married lawyers - on opposite sides of a case! Pat and Mike (1952) was George Cukor's eighth and final collaboration with Katharine Hepburn, but this magnificent film about the improbable relationship between a female golfer and a sports promoter was a movie that proved to be ahead of its time in terms of sexual politics, and earned the production two Academy Award? Nominations: Best Story and Best Screenplay. For the first time on DVD and sold exclusively in this collection is the very special The Spencer Tracy Legacy: A Tribute by Katharine Hepburn (1986) in which Katharine Hepburn looks back on the life of her former co-star and best friend, Spencer Tracy, in a touching and insightful look at one of the great American actors.B0001NBMASDesk SetB00004RF97The Philadelphia StoryB000FFL2Q6Bogie and Bacall -

I love all the jokes, gags, slapstick, and cameos! Ted Striker has been wrongfully put in an insane asylum because the lunar shuttle crashed during a test flight with Ted as the test pilot. He warned that it is a 'death trap' but no one believes him. On the night it's being launched, Ted breaks out and tries to stop it. The computer of the shuttle takes over, and the crew have been taken out. Ted and Elaine must once again save the people on board from being flown toward the sun, and this time, without any coffee!

B00004Y62X40AY2NVCSU6OT12AY2NVCSU6OT12Patti MyersSoundtrack LoverHarrisburg, PA USA02008-09-15Funny, even after almost 25 yearsI remember seeing this movie as a teenager and remembering how funny it was, as was the original Airplane!. My husband and I decided to buy it recently (2008) and haven't regretted it. The jokes are still funny even after all this time. Some of the younger crowd won't get some of the jokes (such as the gentleman singing "The Love Boat"), but for those born before 1980, it's a riot.
<br />
<br />You must like physical humor and silly humor. If you don't like that kind of humor - don't bother.Product DescriptionTHE FIRST COMMERCIAL SPACE SHUTTLE HAS LOONY TED AND HIS FORMER GIRLFRIEND BOUND FOR THE MOON.Amazon.comThe 1982 sequel to <I>Airplane!</I> is basically more of the same class-clown ironies but with a more forced feeling to the jokes. In the first film, veterans such as Peter Graves, Robert Stack, and Lloyd Bridges were feeling their way through self-parody, and the air of experimentation was part of the fun. By this film, however, everybody knows what's up, and the assuredness of new cast members Raymond Burr, William Shatner, and Chuck Connors is almost counterproductive. Still, there's lots to laugh about. <I>--Tom Keogh</I> B000B5XOWAAirplane! (Don't Call Me Shirley! Edition)B000K405CYHot Shots! / Hot Shots! Part Deux (Double Feature)B000H7JCFKPolice Squad!

<br /> Willie Nelson to me makes a great western movie star for he has the deep
<br />voice and that bad guy look. I would recommend this movie if you like old westerns. TRB00029NLLY44A16VIPDOCCVNU7A16VIPDOCCVNU7Jack N. YoungTucson, AZ42008-11-02Once upon a Texas TrainI was the Location Manager for this movie which was filmed at Old Tucson Studios in Tucson, Arizona. It didn't win any awards but it was a fun movie with all the country western stars. We had mucho fun with Willie and all the rest. They were kidding and telling tale tales when off camera. Burt Kennedy has always been a favorite Director of mine and I enjoy working for him. You will have fun with this flick and I promise you will watch it over and over.

Lots of action and while perhaps predictable, it's fun watching Willie and a lot of good old-time supporting actors. I enjoyed it a lot.B00029NLLY413A3S5DDPHAATWA6A3S5DDPHAATWA6Plane chickplanechickVirginia132005-10-31Shaun's still Got ItI do love a good western, and this was a pretty good western. Although Willie Nelson is not as good an actor as he is a singer, Shaun Cassidy is HOT HOT HOT in this movie. The first part of the movie is pretty amusing with quite a few old favorite actors, quite a few of whom I believe have since passed on, but it is a pretty good way to spend an hour and a half. With Richard Widmark, Stuart Whitman, Dub Taylor and my all-time favorite western actor, Jack Elam, I really enjoyed this movie.B00029NLLY314161999-08-05A movie for even non-western fans!I'm not a western fan, but I enjoyed this movie! Country & western singer Willie Nelson does a great job portraying his villainy character, John Henry Lee, a person that tries to blow up a railroad. Former 70's teen rock idol Shaun Cassidy's acting has improved since his work as Joe Hardy on T.V.'s "Hardy Boys Mysteries", even though he still pursued his acting career after the show ended in T.V. and national theatre, and is now a T.V. producer and writer. He does fairly well playing a young gang leader named Cotton. For a T.V. movie, this is made on a good budget and still gets played on T.V. stations. Check it out if you see it advertise on your local T.V. listings!Product DescriptionCaptain Hayes of the mighty law enforcement squad named the Texas Rangers reached the pinnacle of his career when he captured the notorious John Henry, an outlaw cowboy, and put him behind bars. Twenty years later, upon his release, Henry is older but unrepentant. Within six hours after leaving his jail cell, he evens the score with Hayes by holding up the Bank of Texas for $20,000 in gold. Hayes, in his fury, gets himself out of retirement to take up the chase once more.B000M5B6PGAnother Pair of AcesB000E5KUJMStagecoachB000089765BarbarosaB000KQF716Where the Hell's That Gold?!!?B0007LPS8QThe Ranger, The Cook and a Hole In the Sky163306General163296Action & Adventure404276Genres130DVD139452Video415914General163450Television404276Genres130DVD139452Video291008General163312Westerns404276Genres130DVD139452Video1081730114-for-3 Action & Adventure1081720114-for-3 DVD251273011Custom Stores44261011Specialty Stores130DVD139452Video1693950114-for-3 All DVDs1081720114-for-3 DVD251273011Custom Stores44261011Specialty Stores130DVD139452Video418438Connors, Chuck416120( C )404278Actors & Actresses251273011Custom Stores44261011Specialty Stores130DVD139452Video419476Curtis, Ken416120( C )404278Actors & Actresses251273011Custom Stores44261011Specialty Stores130DVD139452Video416952Cassidy, Shaun416120( C )404278Actors & Actresses251273011Custom Stores44261011Specialty Stores130DVD139452Video419798Dano, Royal419544( D )404278Actors & Actresses251273011Custom Stores44261011Specialty Stores130DVD139452Video420678Dickinson, Angie419544( D )404278Actors & Actresses251273011Custom Stores44261011Specialty Stores130DVD139452Video422006Elam, Jack421742( E )404278Actors & Actresses251273011Custom Stores44261011Specialty Stores130DVD139452Video422380Evans, Gene421742( E )404278Actors & Actresses251273011Custom Stores44261011Specialty Stores130DVD139452Video436108McCarthy, Kevin434574( M )404278Actors & Actresses251273011Custom Stores44261011Specialty Stores130DVD139452Video439040Nelson, Willie438726( N )404278Actors & Actresses251273011Custom Stores44261011Specialty Stores130DVD139452Video449038Taylor, Dub448792( T )404278Actors & Actresses251273011Custom Stores44261011Specialty Stores130DVD139452Video452142West, Red451116( W )404278Actors & Actresses251273011Custom Stores44261011Specialty Stores130DVD139452Video452384Whitman, Stuart451116( W )404278Actors & Actresses251273011Custom Stores44261011Specialty Stores130DVD139452Video452432Widmark, Richard451116( W )404278Actors & Actresses251273011Custom Stores44261011Specialty Stores130DVD139452Video453258Worden, Hank451116( W )404278Actors & Actresses251273011Custom Stores44261011Specialty Stores130DVD139452Video458552Kennedy, Burt458356( K )403502Directors251273011Custom Stores44261011Specialty Stores130DVD139452Video300187Father's Day300182Holidays & Seasonal251273011Custom Stores44261011Specialty Stores130DVD139452Video579540( O )579510Titles251273011Custom Stores44261011Specialty Stores130DVD139452Video1240754011Romance163375Romantic Comedies163394Romantic Drama251273011Custom Stores44261011Specialty Stores130DVD139452Video387546011DVD387545011Format (binding)386709011Refinements130DVD139452Video405386011PG405383011MPAA Rating (feature_browse-bin)386709011Refinements130DVD139452Video405391011US & CA DVDs: Region 1405390011Region (feature_two_browse-bin)386709011Refinements130DVD139452Video5620900111980 - 1989562084011Decade (feature_three_browse-bin)386709011Refinements130DVD139452Video617866011English598208011Original Language (theme_browse-bin)386709011Refinements130DVD139452Video671505011Standard Edition603112011Special Editions (feature_four_browse-bin)386709011Refinements130DVD139452Video643791011Grade Level (feature_five_browse-bin)643792011Preschool643793011Kindergarten643794011Elementary School643800011Middle & High School643808011College643809011Post-Graduate386709011Refinements130DVD139452Video671506011Audio Type (feature_six_browse-bin)671507011Digital Sound671508011Dolby671509011Surround Sound386709011Refinements130DVD139452VideoR3GMQHH65WJWOCIf you want to discover Richard Widmark (1914 - 2008) - 1st part

I loved it.B000BPL2G043A2I6MHMAZZDCRXA2I6MHMAZZDCRXMark BakerSanta Clarita, CA United States42008-02-22"They Call Him Flipper"Before the dolphin Flipper became a TV show, he started out with two movies. This two sided disc contains both of the films made before the TV show began.
<br />
<br />First up is "Flipper." This movie tells us the story of how Flipper and Sandy Ricks (Luke Halpin) became friends. It all started with a hurricane that hit the island in the Florida Keys were Sandy lives with his mother and fisherman father. While his father is getting his boat fixed, Sandy and a friend find an injured dolphin. Sandy nurses him back to health, and the two become friends.
<br />
<br />Frankly, this movie suffered from the problem I often have with pilots, it spent so long getting the main characters into place that the resulting story was slow and boring. Still, there were some fun scenes that made me smile and laugh. I found it most interesting that Luke Halpin was the only actor from this movie to make it to the series.
<br />
<br />Side two contains "Flipper's New Adventure," a much better movie. While Porter Ricks (Brian Kelly taking on the role) is away training for a new job, Sandy gets the news that their home is being reclaimed by the government. Fearing that he will lose Flipper, Sandy sets out in a boat to find a deserted island where they can live. Unfortunately for Sandy, the island soon becomes the home of three castaways sent their by escaped convicts.
<br />
<br />This movie had a couple slow parts, but on the whole it moved much faster. There were lots of great dolphin scenes in this one. And the climax is truly thrilling. This movie also serves as a nice transition between the first and the TV series as it sets up several things that had changed between the two.
<br />
<br />As I mentioned, this is a two sided disc. Each side contains one movie and the original trailers for both films. Each side is supposed to have a Tom and Jerry short as well. While the one on side A works, I couldn't even find the one for side B. That was a little disappointing, but since I've never been a huge fan of the duo, it didn't bug me too much.
<br />
<br />This disc is worth getting for the second film. Frankly, I can imagine kids, especially those who love animals, enjoying both films.B000BPL2G033A1X1RWRPSAL206A1X1RWRPSAL206interested_observerinterested_observerSan Francisco, CA USA32007-08-16Classic Marine Adventure StoryThe double feature DVD contains all the features of the two individual movies at about the same price as either. This is the disc to buy if you take an interest in the stories.
<br />
<br />Luke Halpin stars in both films as Sandy Ricks, the Florida Keys teen who befriends a dolphin, Flipper.
<br />
<br />In "Flipper", Sandy's father, Porter Ricks, is having a tough time as a fisherman. Between Red Tide and hurricane damage, cash is tight. Setting the stage, Porter tells Sandy the ancient Greek legend of a dolphin rescuing a boy named Arion from the sea. While Porter is away, Sandy goes spearfishing with some friends. When Flipper and one spearfisher each get injured, Sandy helps out. When Porter returns, friendly Flipper is doing tricks for Sandy. Is Flipper a devourer of Ricks family income? Does the Arion story get reenacted? Is Flipper a keeper? The movie goes to its expected happy ending.
<br />
<br />The movie and the resultant TV series were so popular that "Flipper's New Adventure" was created. The state of Florida has plans to develop the area. Flipper has to go. Sandy decides to flee in a motorboat, to accompany Flipper out into nearby Caribbean island waters. The two find a deserted island paradise. Then a group of escaped criminals hijack a large sailboat, marooning three English women on the island. Sandy makes cautious friends with Penny Hopewell (played by Pamela Franklin), while keeping hidden from the others. Then the criminals sail back. What can Flipper and Sandy do? There is another happy ending.
<br />
<br />These are both enjoyable family movies. The Elijah Wood "Flipper" is good too.

The dolphin and the boy are so loving with each other. It is well cast and just such a heart warming story.
<br />
<br />Flipper is so dear and will make you smile when he communicates. The father in the first movie is the Rifleman.....SO HANDSOME!!! You'll want to jump into the screen and kiss him!DescriptionThe dolphin named Flipper swam into the world's awareness in this 1963 film about 12-year-old Sandy (Luke Halpin, a star in the 1964-'68 Flipper TV series) and the sea mammal he rescues and befriends. Chuck Connors (TV's The Rifleman) also stars in the two-fins-up tale that includes the fierce landfall of Hurricane Hazel.

WhiteNew Martinsville, WV02008-12-06A Classic - Old YellerAfter searching in local big box stores, I was able to locate only the "non-Disney" releases of this classic motion picture. However, Amazon offered both choices and I was able to secure a copy that contains the original graphics and issued from Disney.B00005RRG420A2VGS4F6A5UNE8A2VGS4F6A5UNE8Gary L. Dibertthe wessel DVD Collector and reviewerPittsburgh, Pa02008-07-04WASN'T IMPRESSEDThis movie hit the theaters on Christmas Day in 1957 starring Dorothy McGuire as Katie Coates, Fess Parker as Jim Coates and Jeff York as Bud Searcy. Based on the novel by Fred Gipson, Old Yeller is set in Texas in 1869. While his father is away on a cattle drive, 15-year-old Travis Coates takes over management of the family farm. Adopting a strictly business policy, Travis is irritated when younger brother, Arliss, adopts a frisky stray dog. Soon Travis is as fond of the dog as everyone else in the family is; moreover, "Old Yeller" is an excellent watchdog. However, while fighting off a mad wolf, Yeller is infected with rabies. Though Yeller seems unaffected at first, he eventually behaves so viciously that the disheartened Travis has no choice but to **** *** ***. A heart-to-heart talk between Travis and his returning father coupled with the adoption of a new pup, paves the way to an emotional but reasonably happy ending. Earning eight million dollars domestically on its first release, Old Yeller convinced Walt Disney to devote more and more time to live-action films and less time to animation, which at the time was a great business move. In 1963, Disney released a lesser sequel to Old Yeller titled Savage Sam. I was wasn't that crazy about this picture either. To me once the dog got in the fight the movie was over. I give this movie Two-weasel stars because there was not much drama or action in this movie other then the fight with the wolf. B00005RRG450AP8HVZLVTAJCHAP8HVZLVTAJCHDavid RosengreenArarat, Vic Australia02008-02-21You can't afford to waste the good part frettin' about the bad. That makes it all bad.When I watched Old Yeller a few years ago, I had not seen it for many years. I had completely forgotten how powerful it was and was completely blown away by it's brilliance! One of Disney's finest! This film has stood the test of time incredibly well and, in fact, is probably only more powerful now than when it was first released. Superbly scripted, sensitively directed, and loaded with power packed performances! Simplistic and sincere, honest and real. Old Yeller plays like a breath of fresh air, making most movies of today look like cinematic smog.
<br />
<br />Perfectly cast, with fine, first rate performances. Tommy Kirk gives the standout performance of his career! Completely convincing, he brings an authenticity and genuineness to his character, in this most challenging of roles, as he runs the gamut of human emotions. Dorothy McGuire is perfect as Katie Coates, bringing a gentleness and warmth to the role of the mother. Not to be over-shadowed though, Kevin Corcoran gives an outstandingly astounding performance, especially for one so young, as the youngest member of the Coates family, Arliss. Jeff York, as always, is a delight, injecting some light-hearted humor into his role. And while Fess Parker may not have a great deal of on screen time, his performance is played with great sincerity, strength, and warmth. Rounding out the cast, with fine performances, are Beverly Washburn and Chuck Conners. Not forgetting scene-stealing Spike the dog, who is totally charming and completely disarming in the title role.
<br />
<br />More than just a story about a boy and his dog, this is a story about life and living. About the highs and the lows, of good times and bad, of loving and losing. For me, the most memorable moment of the film is the scene towards the end, between Fess Parker and Tommy Kirk, between father and son. To quote from the film, "Well, now and then, for no good reason a man can figure out, life will just haul off, and knock him flat. Slam him again' the ground so hard it seems like all his insides is busted. But it's not all like that. A lot of it's mighty fine. And you can't afford to waste the good part frettin' about the bad. That makes it all bad." To me, this sums up the heart of the movie, and is one of the most touching and moving moments in motion picture history.
<br />
<br />This is certainly one of Disney's best movies of all time. Endearingly enduring, it remains great wholesome family viewing. A must see for everyone!
<br />
<br />PS - This DVD set contains some excellent bonus materials! B00005RRG451A2UQIIJ2CD8REEA2UQIIJ2CD8REEMonty MoonlightTX12007-09-13The Classic Tear-JerkerShortly after Jim Coates leaves his wife and two young sons alone on their Texas frontier homestead to go on a cattle drive, the family takes in a large, thieving, stray, yellow dog as pet and protector. The story follows the time of Jim's absence and Old Yeller's stay, as the endearing dog takes on the roles of play-pal to little Arliss and chore partner to teenage Travis, and fights off dangerous animals to protect them all, putting himself in great danger. However, with the closeness of animals to the lives of American frontier-folk, diseases like rabies prove to be just as looming a threat, as the Coates family comes to learn in one of the most heart-wrenching endings in both literary and cinematic history.
<br />
<br />"Old Yeller" is a masterpiece of filmmaking and definitely among the finest work from the Walt Disney Studios to date. The tale is plain and simple, softer than the famous Fred Gipson book it was based on but extremely loyal at the same time, and easily one of the greatest coming-of-age tales of love and loss ever written or filmed. Painstaking detail was put into recreating life on the Texas frontier in this Disney classic, and though it was released in 1957, claims that the film is loaded with 50's sensibilities may be a bit unjust. This film is set shortly after the Civil War, not in modern day. Having things like the man being "head of the household" or "breadwinner" aren't always just 50's sensibilities. Anyway, if one takes a good look at Disney films of the time, one might be surprised to find that the Disney films often depict more believable families than what you'd see on television sitcoms and other films of the period. "Old Yeller" doesn't fall short in that area either. There are only seven human members to the cast, and all are outstanding (most Disney regulars) in strong, believable roles. Tommy Kirk (The Shaggy Dog, The Misadventures of Merlin Jones, The Hardy Boys, Swiss Family Robinson) is the human lead as Travis Coates, the young teenager who grows closest to "Old Yeller" and is hurt the most when the dog meets his emotional and legendary end. Kevin "Moochie" Corcoran (The Shaggy Dog, Swiss Family Robinson, Toby Tyler) is little brother Arliss, a feisty little boy who throws rocks and never sits still. Dorothy McGuire (Swiss Family Robinson, Summer Magic) is the ever motherly Katie Coates, and Disney legend Fess Parker (Davy Crockett, The Great Locomotive Chase) rounds out the family as fatherly and loving Jim Coates. The always hilarious Jeff York plays lazy, meal-mooching neighbor Bud Searcy, with Beverly Washburn as his sweet and put-upon daughter with a crush on young Travis. The final human castmember is the well-known Chuck Connors, who plays Old Yeller's original owner and a kind visitor to the Coates' farmstead. Throw in Spike the dog as the title character, no less impressive an actor than any of them, and you have one of Hollywood's greatest casts! Not to mention that this was directed by Robert Stevenson (Mary Poppins, Darby O'Gill and the Little People, The Love Bug), one of Hollywood's all-time greatest directors! No, there's really nothing much corny or extremely '"50's" about this movie, if that's what you've been led to believe, aside from the "Old Yeller" theme song, though us Disney fanatics rather like it. It's wonderfully sung by Jerome Courtland (Disney's Andy Burnett).
<br />
<br />As for the DVD edition, the 2-disc Vault Disney release (now out of print) is a real triumph! Disc One includes two bonuses in addition to the beautiful widescreen presentation of the film: A delightful Pluto Cartoon, "Bone Trouble," in which Pluto's attempt to swipe Butch's bone breakfast leads him to be chased into a hall of mirrors, and an excellent audio commentary (featuring Kevin Corcoran, Fess Parker, dog-trainer Bob Weatherwax, and more than anyone, Tommy Kirk; it seems that Kevin and Parker were recorded separately). In addition, the DVD menus look great. Disc Two's amazing Vault Disney menu is loaded with goodies. There's, "Old Yeller: Remembering a Classic," a lengthy making-of documentary full of tear-jerking interviews with the surviving cast-members along with animal trainer Bob Weatherwax and T. Beck Gipson, the son of writer Fred Gipson. There's also a nearly 15 minute featurette titled, "Conversations with Tommy Kirk." This is an enjoyable, in-depth interview with Tommy about how he got into acting as a child, met Walt Disney, and various details about his career at the Disney studios, including an unfortunate misunderstanding with Fred MacMurray. There are a couple of montages too. One is a bit of a commercial really, and doesn't have much value. It's called "Dogs!," and is nothing but a fast-paced montage of Disney dog clips. The other montage is more appreciated. It's called "Disney Studio Album," and is a montage of Disney events of 1957. A sort of Disney video yearbook. "Lost Treasures: Ranch of the Golden Oak" is a guided tour of the California property where many films are still filmed, along with reminiscence from Old Yeller's cast members of course. A Production Archive on Disc Two is loaded with galleries in the categories of "Production Stills," "Publishing," "Advertising," "Screenplay Excerpt," "Documents," and "Biographies" (of everyone but Jeff York for some reason). There's also a slideshow titled "Production Gallery," though it just features some selections from the Production Stills gallery. The DVD also offers the original theatrical trailer, a 90's TV commercial for a TV airing, and another tear-jerker labeled, "News Segment: Old Yeller Memorial." This is a report on an Old Yeller statue dedication in writer Fred Gipson's hometown and focuses on his son. Laura Bush also gives a speech at this sentimental ceremony. What non-Texan folks might not know is that this isn't really a news segment, it's from an excellent Texas television program called "Texas Country Reporter." It's a long running show that is not unlike "Made In America" or other such shows on the more educational/informative cable channels like TLC, Travel Channel, or Food Network, just a little more down-homey. Also on Disc Two is a virtual jukebox featuring various audio explorations. There are two interactive Sound Studio experiences, a selection of Radio Spots, a Foley Demonstration, and a vintage "Old Yeller" record album story told by Fess Parker with dialogue from the film. Last, but certainly not least, one of my favorite types of extras to find on a Disney DVD, we get a complete episode of the Disneyland TV series! The episode, hosted by Walt, is "The Best Doggone Dog in the World." This treat shows us dogs of the world, introduces Dorothy McGuire talking about the film "Old Yeller" and narrating clips, and presents to us a "True-Life Adventure" type story about Arizona sheepdogs at work. A wonderful addition to a wonderful DVD release!
<br />
<br />Ya know, I gotta say, as much as I love the Disney Renaissance period of films like "The Little Mermaid," "Honey, I Shrunk the Kids," and so on, whenever I am walking around a Disney theme park and taking in the sights, sounds, and smells, it's films like this that really come to mind for me. The company still churns out some gems now and then, but Walt's legacy is the work the studio made under his guidance, and it really is at least as good as anything made after he was gone. Walking down nostalgic Main Street or anywhere else in the Magic Kingdom, I love having films like "The Happiest Millionaire," Pollyanna," "Swiss Family Robinson," and "Old Yeller" to look back on, and it's a shame that more young people aren't exposed to such films today. Thank goodness they're available on DVD for those who care enough to purchase them. Of course, as I mentioned, this Vault Disney 2-disc release is no longer in print and recently has become difficult to find. As with a few other excellent Disney releases, they have been recently rereleased in double feature editions, sometimes still in 2-disc sets, but usually missing some very nice extras. In Old Yeller's case, the film has been released on another 2-disc set, this time paired with its underrated sequel, "Savage Sam." While it's a fine way to acquire "Savage Sam" if you don't have it yet, I still recommend seeking out the Vault Disney edition if you don't yet have "Old Yeller." All the double feature lacks is the audio commentary, but for me that was reason enough to seek out the Vault Disney release. I will probably get the double-feature anyway to acquire "Savage Sam" though.

<br />DescriptionNo film better captures the powerful emotions of hope, courage, and friendship than this treasured and much beloved classic, OLD YELLER. The quintessential tale of a boy's love for his dog has touched the hearts of millions, its enduring legacy growing with each new generation and it's "still one of the best!" (Leonard Maltin) Set amidst the landscape of 1860s Texas, a young boy named Travis (Tommy Kirk) wants nothing to do with the lop-eared stray. But Old Yeller quickly proves himself a loyal friend, protecting the family and saving Travis' life. Soon they become inseparable pals, sharing joyous experiences and learning valuable lessons about growing up.Amazon.com essential videoThere's nothing hip about this vintage Disney film that begins and ends with a corny song about the "best doggone dog in the West." But that's the beauty of <I>Old Yeller</I>, originally released in 1957. The simple, heart-warming story of a boy who bonds with a feisty stray dog in 1860s Texas is full of 1950s sensibilities: A Donna Reed-style perfect "Momma" (Dorothy McGuire) who knows best, a couple of brothers who quarrel in the best sitcom tradition, and a father (Fess Parker, in a small role) who goes off to provide for his family, leaving his older boy (Tommy Kirk) in charge and his incredibly cute younger one (Kevin Corcoran) to steal as many scenes in the movie as he possibly can. With Old Yeller at his side, Kirk becomes a little man, who in the end must make a decision so heart-breaking that it's one of filmdom's most memorable moments. <I>--Valerie J.
