The Star Wagon (Broadway Theatre Archive) (1966) Review

Average Reviews:(More customer reviews)Once upon a time they actually showed plays on late night television. I have not seen this play since first shown in 1967 but remember it with a great deal of fondness. This review is based on the original telecast, but I have waited a long time to see this again and have to recommend it. If you enjoy...

Lawrence creates a study of a bad marriage and the rippling effects it has on the entire family. Like Lawrence's father, main character Holroyd (masterfully portrayed by Rex Robbins) is a...

Average Reviews:(More customer reviews)Dave Frank uses the blues medium in this DVD to illustrate the building blocks of creative improv.

Nicholas Nickleby (2002) Review

Average Reviews:(More customer reviews)I can honestly say that "Nicholas Nickleby" is my favorite of Dickens' works. His sinister villain, his earnest, upright, innocent hero, and the beautiful Kate and their plight for financial independence from their evil uncle Ralph have the foundation of a classic. I've seen several adaptations, including...

Cranford (2007) Review

Average Reviews:(More customer reviews)I ordered this from Amazon UK to be able to view this prior to its release date. I was not disappointed! Sadly, I had to watch it by myself because my husband didn't think he'd like it. He would have been wrong, by the way. It was exquisite in every way.I watched it over 2 nights. It's a 5 hour miniseries...

Foyle's War: Set Two (2003) Review

Average Reviews:(More customer reviews)I'd previously rated Series 1 of FOYLE'S WAR at four stars. I'm happy to report, after finishing the Series 2 discs, that the ongoing British telly miniseries has graduated to five stars. It's superb, and I'm desolate that I must wait until 2005 for the release of Series 3 that's airing now in the UK....

Separate Tables - Two one-act plays by Terence Rattigan Review

Average Reviews:(More customer reviews)Director John Schlesinger, long celebrated for his work in big movies, wisely resisted the impulse to imitate the 1958 big-screen version of Sir Terence Rattigan's "Separate Tables" (starring David Niven and Deborah Kerr.) By choosing to give it the intimacy of a stage production, Schlesinger's film...

Hamlet / Kline, New York Shakespeare Festival (Broadway Theatre Archive) (1990) Review

Average Reviews:(More customer reviews)No filmed version of "Hamlet" is entirely satisfying. The play is too rich to be reduced to a single definitive interpretation. But Kevin Kline's production of the more accessible of Shakespeare's two greatest tragedies ("King Lear" is equally great but sparer and more difficult) is one of the better...

Fellini's Roma (1972) Review

Average Reviews:(More customer reviews)Opening narration: "The film you are about to see does not have a story in the traditional sense with a neat plot and characterss that you can follow from the beginning to the end. This pictures tells another kind of story--the story of a city." And Fellini gives a loving, sometimes poking playful commentary,...

Love in a Cold Climate (2002) Review

Average Reviews:(More customer reviews)Two episodes and approximately 2 to 2 1/2 hours is not enough time to do justice to Nancy Mitford's hilarious and moving novels The Pursuit of Love and Love in a Cold Climate. In this version so much of the humor and far too many of the characters are either eliminated or cut down sharply.Nevertheless,...
