Thanks for Including Michael Feinstein!
Jerry Herman is about the most successful Broadway composer today. He writes from the heart, and is extraordinarily versatile. From MAME and HELLO DOLLY (both about Southern belles) to other songs with women's names, like 'Marianne' he gets a little silly sometimes.

He plays a mean piano, like my favorite performer Michael Feinstein. They collaborated on a CD along about the time MF did his whimsical PURE IMAGINATION. It has the same rhyme and rhythm and Mike was in good vocal form. He's mellowed some now but at the top in every way. His favorite of Jerry Herman is 'I Won't Send Roses' which he included on others of his CDs.

Thanks, Jerry, for everything!

Excellent!
This is an excellent concert for musical lovers. Especially Jerry Herman fans. I recommend it highly. Michael Feinsteins rendition of "I Won't Send Roses" will give you chills and Leslie Uggams is impeccable.

Fantastic
If you love Musical Theatre, you will love these great performers. The best!

Jerry Herman - National treasure.
To the point : Jerry Herman's Broadway at the Hollywood Bowl is a top showcase of his songs and lyrics. As Carol Channing said ' Double the pleasure, listen to the words '.Apart from Lorna Luft, Michael Feinstein and a lost of great singers, just to hear Bea Arthur sing is worth buying this DVD.

Hello Jerry, Hello Carol, Wonderful Video!
I saw this on PBS several years ago and I taped it. Unfortunately they had audio trouble on one orchestral medley. I saw it here and ordered it immediately. It's wonderful. Carol Channing gives a hilarious introduction. There is an international Dolly who sing Hello Dolly! the way it would be done in other countries and a "Hello, Deli" and Hello,Lyndon" and of course the original Dolly, Carol Channing. Davis Gaines sings Song on the Sand beautifully. This is a gorgeous song and gorgeously done. Ditto to Leslie Uggams' rendition of If He Walked Into My Life. Marvelous! These are my two favorites and I listen to them/watch them over and over again. Lee Roy Reams does marvelous imitations of Louis Armstrong, Carol, and Pearl Bailey and Marlene Dietrich and Mae West on La Cage Aux Folles. Love It Only Takes a Moment and many of the others.Only wish that the whole song would have been sung. I have seen the sheet music and some is left out in the movie and play and I have sung it in its entirety. Lovely sentiment in that song and beautiful melody. Jerry Herman is truly a talent as Carol proclaims,"When God was passing out talent, Jerry got in line twice." He wrote the words and music to all the songs.Buy this! You won't be sorry. I am considering buying it for a gift. I would love to have a copy of just the audio too, but can't figure out if there is one available. Regardless, if you love great Broadway music and Jerry Herman musicals, you will love this! ... Read more

Great Disaster Film
This is one heck of a great film and terriffic cast but I'll buy it when it's made available on DVD in widescreen.

It's still a thriller!
The word "hijack" hadn't been in the American lexion too long in 1972 when this Charleton Heston suspense drama was released. As a commercial pilot, Heston and his 747 are commandeered by a dishonorably discharged and psychotic military veteran (James Brolin in a convincing dastardly turn). Dissolusioned with his American service and seeing himself as a failure in his parents' view, Brolin's character intends to take the jetliner and some of its star-studded passengers to Russia where, in his schizophrenic frame of mind, he will get there the just he thinks he is due. "Skyjacked" distinguishes itself from the onslaught of disaster films that accentuated the '70s in that it is neither a disaster flick nor reliant on special effects. Heston is, as expected, terrific as the captain who doesn't lose sight of his primary function: to keep his passengers alive. Among them are football player-turned actor Rosey Grier; character actresses Yvette Mimeux (the lead flight attendant and, in a soap opera subplot, the "other woman" in Heston's life), a very pregnant Mariette Harley, and Leslie Uggams as another flight attendant; the late Walter Pidgeon as a U.S. senator; and Susan Dey ("The Partridge Family," "LA Law") and Nicholas Hammond ("The Sound of Music" and TV's "Spiderman" in the late '70s) as first-time acquaintances in youthful love. As the off-center hijacker, Brolin gives a bravo performance that makes his fate at film's end very, very satisfying. In sum, "Skyjacked" is worth its salt, and its suspense makes it a worthy flight.

Tension-Filled Adventure Starring Charlton Heston
There are no splashy special effects at work in 1972's "Skyjacked" (a.k.a.: "Sky Terror"), just a lot of tension on board a Boeing 707 jetliner that has been "skyjacked" to Russia. James Brolin is quite convincing as the bad guy who diverts the plane to Moscow. And Charlton Heston is, as always, first-rate as the aircraft's Captain (similar to roles he would play in later years in "Airport 1975" and "A Thousand Heroes"). I ask you: Who wouldn't want Charlton Heston as their airline Captain?! A no-brainer! The action in this particular early '70s disaster film is, at times, a bit on the slow side. But, overall, it delivers the goods. Best scene was when Heston has to make a "zero-zero" landing after being diverted to Anchorage International Airport (before they continue to Moscow). The plane is being "talked in" by air-traffic controller Claude Akins. The tension is temporarily relieved as Heston puts the plane down perfectly in the blinding rain. This scene follows another good one, where Heston must maneuver his Boeing 707 violently, in order to avoid a small aircraft in the same airspace! This is a good picture for an airplane lover.

Skyjacked
As a builder of model airplanes and an aviation buff I found the movie "Skyjacked" very realiastic and very well portrayed by two of the very best actors such as James Brolin who played the hijacker-a discontented and disheartened U.S. Army Sergeant. Naturally, both actors played their roles to perfection. Now as far as the movie itself is concerned, well, let me say that it showed the way in which our soldiers were treated when they returned from Vietnam: Whcih was very bad and downright cruel! And what James Brolin did in the movie was to send a message to society by showing them that soldiers have feelings too. Now I do not condone hijackings of a ny sort; much less killing innocent people, but the movie in and by itself did deliver a very powerful message.

Air Rage
Even a trusted Hollywood icon like Charlton Heston isn't safe from a certain amount of terror. He plays the pilot at the controls of this 1972 suspense drama, one of the many disaster films (or "multi-jeopardy" films, as Heston liked to call them) made during the 1970s. James Brolin is excellent as the seemingly all-American army man who orders Heston's plane to be flown into Russia. John Guillermin's direction is pretty good, and there isn't all that much melodrama like we see in many other such movies. The film was actually banned in Australia because the government there was afraid it would encourage copycat incidents. Nothing of the sort happened, and the film became another huge hit for Heston in his post-epic days. ... Read more
