Great moving film
"Serenade," is an excellent, and not shown much. Mario Lanza's
story is more sad in this one with more obstackles, such as trying to forget a woman he loved. Sara Montiel is excellent in it and beautiful as his wife. It is romantic but has moment of sadness as well. It's one the the best films to chowcase Mario's acting abilities.

music great of course but the plot is boring
there will never be another mario lanza he was it. but this movie could have been done better the music is great of course his epic performance of nusum dorma from turandot is fantastic and is probably up there with franco corelli and jusi bejorling the other arias he performs are great as well. but as allways with any lanza picture the screenplay falls flat and is down right boring at times. not to metion it can get pretty korny also. so serenade is given 2 stars for its horrible script if you wanna see lanza at his best its here so get a tape and edit the soap opera script and keep the music cause thats all your ganna want to see

Winner
Supurb acting and a great musical score make "Serenade" an easy favorite of Lanza and Opera fans alike. Another movie that will merit repeat watchs not only for the story line but especially for the musical score. What a great talent!

Lanza shows real acting potential
I was mightily impressed with Lanza's vocal performance in this movie, and agreeably surprised by his (often) fine acting. He's no Olivier, and as Derek McGovern says in his review, he needed to reined in by the director at times, but in his best moments he is totally believable, and often moving.

But what grabbed me was his singing. If you can overlook the awful singing during the opening credits, almost everything from La Danza on is fantastic. What an assortment of vocal goodies! The Otello scenes took my breath away. I was simply astonished at the end of the monolog, and I don't believe this aria will ever be sung better. The same goes for Amor Ti Vieta (beautifully filmed), Torna A Surriento and the Lamento Di Federico. Just about the only aria he doesn't quite pull off (surprisingly) is Nessun Dorma. In this one, he's pushing too much for my liking, and I, too, would have liked a retake. After all, Lanza had the perfect voice for this aria.

The co-stars in the movie are great, especially Sarita Montiel and Vincent Price. I read somewhere that Vincent Price was enormously impressed by Lanza's singing, and that's quite a compliment from someone who had heard all the opera greats.

Serenade is a true melodrama, and a greatly underrated film.

Lanza 's Magnificent Comeback
After a four-year absence from the silver screen, Mario Lanza gave his finest dramatic performance as a singer haunted by a woman from his past. He strides among the sunny Mexican landscape in all of his photogenic olive-skinned glory, ill one minute, working in the fields and back singing the next.
His renderings of Schubert's "Ave Maria", "Nessun Dorma", and "O Paradiso", and the title song are heavenly.
Inevitably, with 1950s censorship codes firmly in place, James Cain's steamy novel had to be toned down. To this end, the equally photogenic Sara Montiel becomes a bullfighter's daughter rather than a prostitute, and an appropriately respctable and submissive wife to Lanza. She is helpful in furthering her husband's career interests and helping him put the past behind him.
But the past catches up with him, and Joan Fontaine's cold aristocratic anti-heroine, who derides in building people up and then destroying them, traps the young couple in her clutches once more with near-tragic results. Fontaine's role is comparable to that of Glenn Close's in "Dangerous Liasons", but less graphic. Vincent Price is his usual elegantly sinister movie personna as one of Lanza's benefactors.
Those of us born after Lanza's untimely death can only wonder what his acting skills might be like now if they were free of the stilted, superficial, and rather corny constraints of the'50s. But this is as good as he gets, and his singing, although more somber than ever, is free of such constraints and as majestic as ever. As was observed in 1956, he was "still in possession of that God-given High C", which literally and figuratively, is the triumphant note on which this film ends. ... Read more

Special effects took a clever step forward with the release ofParamount's Dr. Cyclops in 1940. This wasn't the first movie to deal withthe miniaturization of human beings (The Bride of Frankenstein and The Devil Doll addressedthe issue earlier), but it was the first to devote its visual effects to depicting the dangers of being tiny in a full-scale world. Introducing themes and images that would later be perfected in The IncredibleShrinking Man, the story is set in a remote Peruvian jungle, where the bald, bespectacled mad scientist Dr. Thorkel (Albert Dekker) uses his secret "radium machine" to reduce humans to one-fifth normal size.

When two American explorers stumble upon the doctor's lab, they're captured and shrunken, suddenly finding that cats, chickens, and even raindrops now pose a deadly threat to their survival. The doctor and his experiments must be destroyed, and the film winds down to a predictable conclusion. Dr. Cyclops is now merely a curio for science fiction fans, but it's blessed with the same spirit of adventure and innovation that was gloriously evident in director Ernest B. Schoedsack's best-known previous film, the original KingKong. Photographed in three-strip Technicolor, Dr. Cyclops earned an Academy Award nomination for itsvisual effects (losing the Oscar to The Thief of Baghdad), andremains an enjoyable milestone in imaginative cinema. --Jeff Shannon ...

Sci-fi classic of the 40's
This is a classic. If many of its themes are a cliche today, it is only because this film was one of the first to use them. The visual effects still hold up well. Conventional techniques like rear-screen projection were used to maximum effect and are not obvious despite the color photography, still a novelty in 1941. The basic concept of miniaturizing living creatures via exposure to radium is, of course, scientifically naive, but director Ernest Schoedsack did his best to give it a weird plausibility. The directing, acting and editing are all fine. On the other hand, the dialogue is rather weak (my reason for not giving it 5 stars) - one need only to compare it with the dialogue Schoedsack's own "King Kong" of 1933. Albert Dekker, as Dr. Thorkel, has the best lines and the best acting role; the others did well with the material they had. Overall, this is much superior to the movies of the fifties and sixties with similar themes.

Dr. Cyclops - Classic Stuff
I really like this movie. A little campy, but good story line, decent special effects... a classic. When will we get a DVD version with added features???

Interesting adventure yarn
Okay, so it's impossible to shrink people that small. But so was _Fantastic Voyage._ Ah, so what? Suspend your disbelief, sit back, grab the popcorn and enjoy. It's a fun movie, and very much a 1940's action film.

the greatest living authority on organic molecular structure
Director Ernest Schoedsack made the seminal King Kong in 1933, but this effort is a technicolour B movie. The subject of reducing humans to doll-size may prefigure Jack Arnold's The Incredible Shrinking Man, but Schoedsack's treatment lacks Arnold's inventiveness and fun, in spite of the Christian Science moral of the Richard Matheson script. The title comes from the legend of the battle between Ulysses and the giant Cyclops, and also linked to Dr Cyclops' poor eyesight and need to wear Coke bottle lense spectacles. One could also view the doctor's view of science to be as "shortsighted" as the doctors who experimented in the Nazi concentration camps, a parallel which only hindsight brings. Cyclops' brutal ambition is quickly established when we see him eliminate an obstacle, by exposure to the radium ore which Cyclops is mining in the Peruvian jungle. The murder is setup with a glowing green tint and shadows on the wall. While Albert Dekker's physical size fits Cyclops' inflated self-image (is it madness?) and Dekker's skill as an actor creates a favourable expectation, the introduction of the visiting consultants who will become his victims quickly brings us thuddingly down to B level. It's not just that the performances are either non-charismatic flat or stereotypical eccentric, it's also there types - the feuding romantic couple, the aged academic Dr Bullfinch, the comic relief man of the world donkey owner, and the servile latino with dog. Bullfinch's lines have that stiff formality so we know that he is an intellectual - "I can scarcely descend to the indignity of bickering", but as Bullfinch, Charles Halton is probably the most likeable of the lot. The group's arrival viewed from behind jungle foliage suggests both dread and also the Charles Laughton Night of the Hunter's journey down the river. The special effects associated with the reduction involve mostly rear projection process photography, with one giant prop hand, and the use of an alligator, sometimes real and other times presumably a miniature. There is a disappointing inconsistency of scale, and the victims are seen after their reduction wearing ridiculously styled white clothes that become coloured without explaination. And the music is of the "little elves" kind, annoying since it is part of the constant score as a convention of the times. However Cyclops has an amusing sm wardrobe, and Schoedsack provides 2 nice cuts - from a car wheel to a wagon wheel to show the descent into the less jungle, and a funny reaction shot of the dog smiling when his name is mentioned.

Decades before Brad Pitt starred in Meet Joe Black, the story of a vacationing Grim Reaper was adapted for the screen from a popular play. Frederick March, playing Death, disguises himself as a European prince and spends three days with an amenable duke at his palatial estate. Women are instantly attracted to the Lord of the Underworld, but back off when they sense his true nature--that is, all women except for the beautiful young innocent (Evelyn Venable), who is destined to marry the duke's son.

Filmed in 1934, this is more sensual than the Pitt remake, though the acting style is more mannered than some audiences may enjoy. But at only 78 minutes, the emotional content, as well as the ending, feels more real than the lengthy '90s version. --Rochelle O'Gorman ... Read more

Saw orginal, and both remakes,Original Best
I was a young lady when I saw Fredic March in Death Takes A Holiday, I was a young mother when I saw the remake with Monte Markham and now as a grandmother I saw Meet Joe Black. Which one is the best in my mind? Mr. Pitt and Mr. Markham Can't hold a candle to the style of Mr. March.The ending is still as touching and chilling as it was the first time I saw it. I have seen it many times since and it still has the same effect on me. It's a wonderful movie, a bit dark but consider the era in which it was made just adds to the effect the movie wants to parlay to it's audience.It's a timeless treasure, not to be missed. You've seen the rest now see the best!!!!!

Poor. Whereas "Meet Joe Black" is long & boring,
"Death Takes a Holiday" is merely boring. This is not a knock on Fredric March or Brad Pitt, both fine actors. It is simply creepy yet too one dimensional to be taken seriously. A play that did not transfer well. As for Death, aparently he likes to vacation with the stupid, idle, rich rather than real people. Ironically, these stiffs are already half dead. They have nothing to say yet prattle on endlessly about it. Death isn't much better. I fell asleep & had to rewind a bit. It didn't matter. Such excellent suject matter squandered twice 64 years apart. I really do like the old movie classics. This one... disappointing.

Meet Prince Sirki
Sixty-four years before we met death disguised as "Joe Black"(Brad Pitt), Prince Sirki amused himself among the living for a three day holiday. Although not quite the lavish production of it's remake "Meet Joe Black", "Death Takes a Holiday" is a wonderful romantic fantasy from 1934, and is shot beautifully in black and white cinematogrpahy.

A wealthy and aristocratic family, and their houseguests, are visited by the 'grim reaper'...'the old man'...DEATH! Only the head of the household knows who Prince Sirki really is, and why he is there. They strike a deal, and the Prince has 3 days to learn why he is so feared by the human race. For those three days, he lives among them, experiencing and taking in all he can of human ways, and what's more..NO ONE dies while Death is on holiday. Weapons of war malfunction, accident victims walk away without a scratch, people can't even commit suicide when they try! But here's the catch..Sirki falls for the beautiful and deeply pensive Grazia. Will he take her with him to that other world when his time has expired? Does the power of love win out in the end?

The great Fredric March gives an exquiste performance as "Death" trying to adjust to life.It is so beautifully filmed and the performances were so brillant at bringing the marvelous characters to life, that it was like watching a play. Although a serious subject, there are many moments that will make you smile, and in the end, you may view the subject of death a little differently.

If you love the classic films of the thirties, this is a must see. It is also nice to have as a companion to "Meet Joe Black". If you are looking for this on DVD, it is included in the 2 disc "Ultimate Edition" of Joe Black. That way you can have "death" come to you in the form of Fredric March OR Brad Pitt!...What a way to go!...Enjoy....Laurie

Mysterious,very interesting, magnetizing
A very rare presentation of a story, even more rare a captivating mind boggling series of events. A story that can frighten you while holding a deep interest. Should be a movie that will be a classic for all time. Anyone interested in parapsychology, the "other Side", or even interests of and about death would surely appreciate this movie. The story presents "Death" who may spare or take. "Death" who comes for a visit to feel as a "Man", who came, to leave with an experience for himself(Death). A powerful moving story that can "educate" the viewer and possibly change their view of life and "Death". A "Must See" movie that one would remember for a long time. Possibly the movie may affect one forever , all while waiting, Yes, to meet and finally see "Death" again.

Death lives!
Rather archaic, and a bit difficult to sit through, this is still a fascinating film. On re-screening it recently, I found that some scenes had lingered in my memory for 43 years. Death takes human form temporarily to satisfy his curiosity about why we humans fear him so much. During his "holiday", no one dies. The idea that a moratorium on death for a few days would not become immediately obvious and would not cause screaming headlines worldwide cannot be taken seriously, nor can the entire film. (Check out the climactic announcement, "He is -- Death!!" Very melodramatic.) This is a film that requires a huge suspension of disbelief, but if you do so, you will enjoy it. Fredric March was an unusual choice to portray Death, but he does his typically fine job. Science fiction writer Fred Pohl has said that seeing this film in his early teens caused him to not fear death. ... Read more

George Stevens won an Oscar for his 1951 adaptation of Theodore Dreiser's novel An American Tragedy, though the film seems a little overwrought today and even self-parodying at times. Still, Montgomery Clift's performance as a poor lad so drawn to a rich, beautiful girl (Elizabeth Taylor) that he contemplates killing his lower-class fiancée (Shelley Winters) is powerful, sympathetic, and mesmerizing. Taylor makes a strong impression, but Winters is awfully good in the less-glamorous role. The tone of the film is oppressive--the film doesn't exactly breathe with possibility--but there are lots of good reasons to give this movie a visit. --Tom Keogh ... Read more

Genre: Romantic Tragedy

In summary, the movie includes the trials and tribulations of a love triangle between a smart nice guy, a rich nice woman, and a manipulating possessive working-class woman. George Eastman hitchhikes from Kansas City to his uncle's swimsuit factory to work. Once there, he is given a position boxing merchandise by his not-too-friendly cousin. Prior to his employment, George is informed that he is not to have romantic relations with his fellow co-workers as a condition of employment. Unfortunately, George broke this rule by dating and ultimately getting one of his coworkers pregnant. While dating her (Alice), he falls in love with Angela Vickers, a high-class woman that is well-known throughout the comunity and by Charles Eastman (George's rich uncle). Instead of telling Angela about Alice and vice versa, George "drives himself crazy" and eventually commits the ultimate crime. What may astonish the viewer is that even after learning of George's hideous crime, Angela confesses that she still loves him.

Both George and Alice would have different lives at the end of the movie if George had stayed in Kansas City! He also should have been honest with both women in order to alleviate stress for both he and Alice. This movie was given four stars due to its relativeness to society and its great plot for the time period. It was interesting throughout the whole movie.

What Chemistry
The first time I viewed A Place In The Sun it did not have much of an impact on me. Perhaps I was too young, plus I did not understand Montgomery Clift's acting style. Subsequent viewings have made me realize the quality of this film. Clift stars as the poor relation of an important family who begins to work his way up. He first has a relationship with plain working girl Shelley Winters. Then he meets the real love of his life, beautiful, wealthy Elizabeth Taylor. From that point, things become very complicated for all concerned. Clift was an actor that played everything deeply, and his performances are always painfully real, just like this one, in which you can feel the conflicts that tear him apart. Winters is excellent in her tragic role, while Taylor, besides looking unbelievably beautiful, brings a lot of honesty to her character. The chemistry between the Clift and Taylor is palpable, and their on screen kiss is one of the most memorable you will ever see. Although there is a sense of doom that permeates the movie, the actors make every moment a great one. Some of elements of the story may seem dated, but it is played with such honesty and intensity that you will appreciate it for the very fine film it is.

Heartbreaking & Realistic
Ever wanted something you couldn't have? Ever wanted it so badly you'd kill to have it? In "A Place in the Sun" George Eastman (Montgomery Clift), a poor young man with big dreams, deals with these questions as he tries to make it to the top of the social ladder in spite of social prejudices from the richer Eastman clan.
As he pursues his dream of social grandeur, he falls in love with the beautiful and unatttainable Angela Vickers (Elizabeth Taylor), a rich socialite. But just as his dreams begin to come true, George is confronted by his ex girlfriend (Shelly Winters), a poor factory employee, who is pregnant with his baby and threatens to destroy his newly attained social lifestyle. Having made it to the top, however, George is determined to stay there at any cost - a decision that leads to tragic results.

Memorable performances
Excellent movie about the tragic consequences of pushing too hard to obtain the american dream. Montgomery Clift gives a realistic performance as the poor kid who makes it to the top at a high price. Liz Taylor is believable as the rich beauty who falls in love with Clift, and Shelly Winters is especially memorable as the poor factory worker who gets shoved aside by Clift after he meets Taylor. Beautifully made movie that makes you really get into the mind and heart of its protagonists. Highly Recommended.

Tragedy Turned to Melodrama
It was probably inevitable that "An American Tragedy," in its evolution to screen, would become more about the doomed love affair of Montgomery Clift and Elizabeth Taylor than the moral and ethical dilemmas that really form the foundation of Theodore Dreiser's novel. After all, doomed love is a bigger sell, especially when you have the romantic faces of Clift and Taylor swooning together in extreme close-up.

I'm not a fan of doing book to movie comparisons. I figure that film and literature are two different art forms, so I shouldn't compare their rendering of the story anymore than I would compare the same story as presented in a painting as opposed to a ballet. So I tried to take the film on its own merits (admittedly difficult to do, since I watched the movie on the same day I finished the book), but even at that, I think the movie falls short.

Clift plays George Eastman, poor nephew to a rich, socially elite family in a small New York state factory town. He's been invited by his uncle to come and work in the Eastman factory, giving him an entre into a world of luxury that has always been out of his grasp due to his family's humble position (they run a mission and preach on the streets). George strikes up a love affair with Alice Tripp (Shelley Winters), a girl who works with him in the factory, but his attentions for her quickly fade when he becomes interested in Angela Vickers, another member of the rich set, played by Liz Taylor. Complications ensue, and George finds himself and his situation spiralling drastically out of control, with an ending more tragic than he ever thought possible.

George Stevens directs the film with a sure hand, and there are some breathtaking displays of directorial skill. For example, one that stands out in my mind comes when the camera focuses on a radio reporting a possible murder, while the young, rich kids with whom George has struck up a friendship goof off in the water in the background. There are also some great uses of dissolve editing, though the technique is somewhat overused.

But there are many problems with the film, notably its pacing. Much time is spent on George's love triangle with Alice and Angela, while the script races through the trial and George's ultimate fate, as if the screenwriter realized he only had two hours to tell his story when he'd already wasted an hour and a half on front-end material. Rushing through the end blunts much of the story's original intent and power, as that is where the majority of moral questions arise.

Also, the character Shelley Winters plays is so drab and mousy, that one doesn't understand why George would entangle himself with her in the first place. But Clift does a great job with the lead role, delivering a performance of raw nerve.

It befuddles me somewhat as to why this movie is quite so acclaimed. I can only imagine that its reception has to do with cultural moods at the time it was released and that it just hasn't aged well. It came out in 1951, a big year for literary adaptations ("A Streetcar Named Desire" and "Death of a Salesman" were both given big-screen treatments that year), and you only need to compare "Sun" to "Streetcar" to see how short it falls at capturing the essence of a ture literary classic.

The scenary was great; the exotic Capri locations made every moment sheer delight. Joan Fontaine is perfect for the role she portrayed.

Great Scott! Great Western!
This is the stuff that Columbia/Tristar should be releasing on disc
not another deluxe,special edition of "Spiderman" Randolph Scott is
in top form as the leader of a band of rebel confederates who after
Robbing a Union Convoy & killing all on board they come to find out
that the civil war has ended over a month ago. Faced with choice of
being executed or fleeing for home. As men option the latter only
a posse of bounty hunters ruin the groups chances as
they are forced to take hostages and hold up in a stagecoach shack.

One of the best in a series of good westerns made by Randolph
Scott in the 1950's This one sports a great plot with a good cast
of characters including Donna Reed,Richard Denning and Lee Marvin
The remaster quality is excellent(almost blinding) in it's bright
technicolor glory. Come on Columbia get the lead out of that film
vault and release "The Bounty Hunter" and "Commanche Station"!

Minor Scott masterpiece
Director Roy Huggins has produced a winner in the classic oater HANGMAN'S KNOT. Released in 1952, this film features Scott, with a supporting cast including Donna Reed and Lee Marvin, as a Confederate agent sent west with a small party to capture Yankee gold for the beleaguered Confederacy. Action is taught and the dialogue, in its leanness, is at times reminiscent of the later Budd Boetticher Scott westerns of the late 1950s. This is certainly one of the best Randy Scott movies of the 1950s and maintains interest thoughout. ... Read more

Lots and lots of rip-roaring western action
Let's see, you have a batch of gun fights. You have some wild horse stampedes. There are two or three indian attacks on wagon trains. Don't forget the sneering villian. And there's Johnny Mack Brown in several hard riding scenes.

This is a 13 chapter cliff hanger, and you'd do well to take 13 days to watch it, a chapter a day. Hey, it was originally made to see one chapter a week! The chapter endings are less than spectacular, in fact rather repetitious. There's at least one case of cheating...I know I saw our hero react from one horse in a stampede running over him, but the next chapter didn't show that.

Well, this isn't one of the best western serials. For that, you want THE ADVENTURES OF RED RYDER or ZORRO'S FIGHTING LEGION. But it is full of action and the type of scenes you watch westerns for, even if there is lots of repetition. Three stars, but dyed-in-the-wool B western fans might give it more. ... Read more

Credit this informative review to Michael from Muskogee OK
This is a bland little crime drama that screams for a decent story line and script. Two undercover agents(Fred MacMurray and Claire Trevor)try to bust up a drug-smuggling ring in Mexico. The two not knowing the real identity of the other end up falling in love. MacMurray proves he can play any kind of role. Trevor seems out of place and wrong for the part. Raymond Burr plays a heavy in more ways than one. Also in the cast are: Jose Torvay, Roy Roberts and Don Diamond.

I would add to this that if you want great film noir with Clair Trevor then check out "Key Largo"; as for Fred Mac Murray, "Double Indemnity."
