VHS : Brief Encounter [1945]

Brief Encounter [1945]


starring: Celia Johnson, Trevor Howard, Stanley Holloway, Joyce Carey, Cyril Raymond
directed by: David Lean
January 29, 2001


A beautiful love story between two married people who encounter a chance meeting at a railway station. What follows is battle of emotions and morals as they struggle to come to terms with their feelings for each other.

In todays society, its very difficult for people to relate to just how frowned upon such an affair would have been back then - such things seem to be common place nowadays. If viewed with this in mind, then Brief Encounter is a truely classic love story, and one of the best British films ever made.

VHS : Greyfriars Bobby (1960) (Disney)

Greyfriars Bobby (1960) (Disney)


starring: Donald Crisp, Laurence Naismith, Alex Mackenzie, Duncan Macrae, Gordon Jackson
directed by: Don Chaffey
October 04, 1999


Having been to Edinburgh and seen the statue of Bobby, this film had some meaning for me. Film makers - including Disney - just don't make films like this anymore, probably because society has changed so much since this was filmed in 1960.

There is no violence, no swearing, the dog is real, and there is no animation or special effects - it's a sweet film that'll gently tug on your heart strings. It's innocence is so very touching and it's a classic example of the type of films my parents grew up watching and that I can now appreciate.

If you're a dog lover then it'll warm your heart, and if you want to show your children a sweet film that will show them a bit of history, won't frighten them, or teach them bad habits then ... Read More:

VHS : Blithe Spirit [1945]

Blithe Spirit [1945]


starring: Rex Harrison, Constance Cummings, Kay Hammond, Margaret Rutherford, Hugh Wakefield
directed by: David Lean
August 19, 1996



Undoubtedly Dame Margaret Rutherford's greatest movie - looking surprisingly young, slim and energetic, and with a waistline of someone half her age! Here she plays the somewhat 'cranky' and eccentric Madame Arcati in Noel Coward's hilarious comedy. Also stars a plummy-voiced Kay Hammond whose voice can get a little irritating after awhile. The marvellous Joyce Carey who was blessed with perennial youth plays the hapless Mrs. Bradman, who is always putting her foot in it! Constance Cummings and Rex Harrison play the unfortunate married couple who are haunted by the ghost of a previous dead spouse - Harrison playing very much himself here, and with an uncannily resemblance to the character 'Higgins' that he was to play some twenty years later ...

The Way To The Stars [1945]


starring: Michael Redgrave, John Mills, Rosamund John, Douglass Montgomery, Stanley Holloway
directed by: Anthony Asquith
April 16, 2001


I know that hyperboles are easy to throw around on these reviews, but I think that this film conveys the waiting and hoping of people back at home while the aircrews are on a mission better than anything else I've seen.

John Mills is fantastic, as are all the actors and actresses in the film. This film is one I always try to see when its on the TV, even though I own it. I've shed a tear at it more than once.

A Genuine Classic.

VHS : The Awful Truth [1937]

The Awful Truth [1937]


starring: Irene Dunne, Cary Grant, Ralph Bellamy, Alexander D'Arcy, Cecil Cunningham
directed by: Leo McCarey
April 07, 2003


Grant hadn't quite polished his craft in `The Awful Truth', but there were few rough edges to knock off. He plays the first scene slightly self-consciously, but things improve thereafter.

Grant and Dunne play a well-to-do married couple who divorce over Grant's groundless suspicion that his wife has deceived him with her handsome Italian singing teacher. Their split is amicable, the only area of dispute being the ownership of `Mr Smith', their pet dog, whose antics add a good deal of comedy to the proceedings.

While waiting 90 days for the finalization of their divorce, Dunne is courted by a wet-behind-the-ears momma's boy, who has several oil wells to his credit, and Grant takes up briefly with a night-club singer, whose act does her ... Read More:
