I Wake Up Screaming [1941] (REGION 1) (NTSC)

starring: Betty Grable, Victor Mature, Carole Landis, Laird Cregar, William Gargan
directed by: H. Bruce Humberstone

Release Date June 06, 2006
I won't address the plot, which I believe is superb, as this has been done amply by others, but rather the DVD edition. The print is vastly superior to the video release which had a jump in it during the moment when Jill Lynn (Grable) makes her way over the rooftops of New York to evade the police, who mean to let her escape so they can follow her to Frankie Christopher (Mature), the man she loves. Given that this is one of the scenes I remember best, that spoiled it for me. There was jump in another place, if memory serves, but all these are gone.

Extras include a cut scene where Grable sings 'Daddy' to a customer at the store before going off to take her sister to the station (in fact Jill is dead). This is fascinating, as it ... Read More:

A Christmas Wish [1950] (REGION 1) (NTSC)

starring: Jimmy Durante, Terry Moore, Tom Drake, Frank Orth, Sara Haden
directed by: Irving Pichel

Release Date November 04, 2003
If you are looking for a movie to watch on Christmas day with your family, in addition to the well known Christmas classics of your collection, I would recommend this unknown movie starring Jimmy Durante. This is a heart warming story of a true Christmas spirit, much similar to Scrooge, involving the family of Mr. Amendola (Jimmy Durante), his wife Mrs. Amendola (Quinie Smith), and their only daughter Rosalinda (Terry Moore.) Jimmy Durante offers a brilliant performance as a faded vaudeville star who rents an apartment just before Christmas holidays during Great depression. With serious financial problem on one hand, on the other, they face the challenges of their penny pinching land lord, Mr. Dingle (Frank Orth) who is interested in collecting ... Read More:
