Customer Review: I first saw this years ago, and it gets better with every viewing. Barbara Stanwyck is Elizabeth Lane, a magazine columnist/domestic goddess/perfect wife + mother -- the Martha Stewart of 1945 -- who's a total fraud. Single, childless and a terrible cook, she bangs out her columns in her city... more info
Customer Review: Finally.....my favorite television mini-series of all time on DVD. It's wonderful to be able to watch the entire series without commercial interruption. Too bad 25 years ago no one knew that someday we would want to see behind the scenes footage - "the making of The Thorn Birds." The only thing that... more info
Customer Review: Excellent X-mas gift for Mom. I had a hard time trying to think of something she would need or want until Thanksgiving night when she spoke about wanting to watch the Thornbirds on TV. She didn't have the time to watch the series for the next few days it was on. So on Christmas Day when she opened... more info
Customer Review: The combination of Billy Wilder ( directing ), and Raymond Chandler ( screenplay ) should have insured any movie 'classic' status, but the addition of an excellent cast nailed the lid down. The chemistry between Stanwyck ( who pretty much set the standard here for femme fatales ), and Fred MacMurray... more info
Customer Review: There were a few years in movie making when sound was first introduced but the Production Codes had not yet been in force. These codes would severely limit the ability of movies to depict the real world: sex, violence and corruption were toned down - often to the point of sheer blandness. Crime... more info
Customer Review: We obtained this collection because we were curious to see films that were considered forbidden during the 1930's and it is interesting to realize what Hollywood gets away with today, vs. what was considered taboo in the early part of the 20th Century. To briefly remind ourselves of what the... more info
Customer Review: A friend of mine LOVES Elvis but doesnt have any of his movies, now and again we would purchase a used single disc off amazon and then I found this. I cant wait to give it to him for Christmas, he will love it! Im already set to buy the other combo elvis packages too. Thank you!
Customer Review: This movie has a great cast but turns out to be a hoakie romp. Barbara is hot and Gary is made up to be a lint ridden, aged beyond his years, professor. The movie lost some of the humor with poor timing and too much time spent making Cooper to appear old. Directing made it better than it should... more info
Customer Review: Historical Background
The TV series was based loosely on the Hill Ranch located at the western edge of Calaveras County, not far from Stockton (one episode places the Barkley Ranch a few hours ride from town while another has Jarrod riding past a Calaveras County sign on his way to the TV... more info
Customer Review: The first time I saw this film was in 1992 at school. For years the movie's memories never left me and I made a effort to locate this film in 2005 or so only to a dead end. I confused this film with "Dial M for murder." I finally was able to locate this film in 2006 and bought a VHS copy on ebay for... more info
