Great Baseball Movie
I bought this movie after watching the 1952 "Angels in the Outfield".I think both of them are great.Dizzy Dean was a colorful character and this movie does a good (although slightly inaccurate) job of portraying it.He was also an outstanding pitcher and all the boasting he did (he did it A LOT) was wonderful because he backed it up.The movie is interesting all the way through, even the portions after his career ended. A great old Baseball gem
I love this movie.I always avoided renting it and ran out of choice one night and reluctantly picked it up.Wow, was I suprized.I laughed and really enjoyed this movie thoroughly.I especailly like the part when they are in the world series and Dizzy calls a time out to talk to the pitcher.You think it's going to be something big, but he says, "Does your dad still have the shotgun for sale?"The pitcher is like..."what???"And then when he becomes an announcer at the end of the movie....fabulous good movie.By all means rent, buy or borrow this movie.Good clean fun for the whole family.You won't be sorry, unless You've somehow distroyed every once of goodness in you.

A real hoot, any baseball fan would love it!!!!
If you like baseball movies, you got to have this one. The portrayal of Dizzy Dean is way over the top but I laughed all the way through this movie. It portrays Dizzy Dean as an "aw shucks" hick from the sticks that makes it to the minor leagues, tells his team mates he is just passing through on his way to the big league club in St. Louis, he apologizes to his manager for not throwing a no hitter after he gave up ONE hit in a game, and it even portrays how he got the name Dizzy. A great corny baseball flick!! ... Read more

Zorro #6 - The Man From Spain
I enjoyed these as a child, and still enjoy them as an adult.
Guy Williams the Only Zorro!
Of all the Zorros who have slashed through the screen, the one everyone in our generation refers to (including Bandaras) is Guy Williams, who captured a nation from 1957-1959 in Walt Disney's Zorro TV series.

1950s Western Fun
This is very loosely adapted from The Taming Of The Screw, but only the characters and a two line plot summary survive. Apart from that, it's quite an original piece of writing from Adele Huffington (surely a pseudoym!), Flaming Readhead Rhonda Fleming looks great in Cine Color, and makes us laugh too. A good-looking guy in a white(ish) hat, former Wild Bill Hickock star Guy Madison slips easily into the role of wrongly accused, wrongly condemned, and fraudulently married man. His casual smile brings a confidence to the role that reminds us this is foremost a comedy and that we ought not to be too worried that our hero will end up hanged. But the villains are not so clear cut. fur trader Parnell is just an unscrupulous businessman and never tried to get anyone killed. The hired gun is neither good nor bad, more amoral, but this presents an interesting potential for him to either help or hinder the hero at the end of the movie. There's western clich�s all through the film, the camp fire harmonica, the Indians smoking um pipe of peace. There are also a few bits of carelessness. The wagon train keeps stopping so they can film the stopped scenes in a park, and how does Cheyenne fit her bed, a desk, and all her fabulous dresses into that tiny wagon? But it's not fair to judge it by today's expectations. This is a simple comedy western, and on that basis, it is a lot of fun.

Not what it seems
The picture on the box, with a beautiful woman sprawled in the dust as a man with a bullwhip towers over her, makes this look like a sex 'n' sadism flick. Nothing could be further from the truth. This reissue of a 1956 Allied Artists movie is almost a comedy. Rhonda Fleming (in the movie, she's the one who wields the whip) needs a temporary husband for legal reasons, and gets jailbird Guy Madison (TV's "Wild Bill Hickok"), who is scheduled to hang, to marry her. But Madison has been framed, breaks jail to clear himself, and ends up reunited with his new wife, much to her distress -- for a while, that is. This picture is no world-beater but it's kind of fun. Gaunt deep-voiced James Griffith also scores as an enigmatic gunman hired to get Madison until he, too, changes sides. ... Read more

I envy Diego's Patience!
Don Alejandro's brother-in-law, Don Estaban (played by Cesar Romero!!) comes to visit, and wrecks havoc on the peaceful life of the de la Vega's.Through his various get-rich-quick schemes, he manages to amuse Diego and infuriate Don Alejandro.Don Estaban manages to even capture the attention of Zorro, who manages to foil each scheme as it happens.And how Zorro/ Diego kept his sense of humor with Don Estaban is beyond me... Even when Don Estaban steals Tornado and tries to set Diego up with Margarita (then decides that her 10,000 acres and 1000's of head of cattle would make his fortune pretty quickly)!I thoroughly enjoy this movie! ...

A Window to the Early 1950's
As Young As You Feel" is a modest budget early 50's B&W comedy. While the creative people were experimenting with 'film noir' and 'neo-realism', the studios were cranking out stuff like this for a traditional audience. This adaptation of a story by Paddy Chayefsky was made during the McCarthy years, so the social satire aspect could only be subtly subversive. The themes (balancing work and play, doing work that gives you personal satisfaction, and maintaining your integrity) give the film a worthwhile message and are not delivered in an overbearing manner.
An Absolute Delight!!
What a fun film! This is one for the entire family- The premise of course no longer applies, with people being forced to retire at age 65, but the comedy transends time!All the actors are great, and naturally Monty Woolley is the funniest of all- They just don't make films like this anymore and that is the shame of it. This genre of the 50's can never be duplicated, don't pass this one by-

cute comedy
Thelma Ritter, Monty Woolley and Constance Bennett star in AS YOUNG AS YOU FEEL, a breezy comedy satire about an ageing worker in a printing firm who simply refuses to retire!
