I Just Love Lucy In Anything!
I thoroughly enjoyed this movie. I got quite a few laughs out of it. There are a couple of Lucy flicks I like better, so that's why I rated it a "4". The first situation, where she is in prison, is a little beyond reality. That is, I can't believe she served so much time. They should have been able to get her out sooner. Anyway, I love to watch the old TV series, but it's refreshing to see Lucy in a different role. Lucy was as good as I expected her to be. And Jack Oakie is as crazy as ever, but I usually enjoy movies he's in as well. I would recommend this movie to any classic movie fan, and if you're a Lucy fan, that just makes it better.

LIGHT LUCY FARE
27 year-old Lucille Ball portrayed a harried and overworked film star who was the victim of countless stunts and tricks employed by her energetic press agent to promote the features she turned out for Wonder Pictures. Lucy plays Annabel Allison, a diminished film star whose bad temper has made her unpopular at the studio. Pompous and fast-talking publicity man Oakie, however, devises a barrage of gimmicks to retain her name before the public.....This little programmer was successful enough for a sequel which was the less successful ANNABEL TAKES A TOUR. With this follow-up, what was going to be a series, met an early demise. Perhaps it was just as well as the downward trend begun in the second film might have continued with subsequent results. As it remains, Ball and Oakie are remembered for having performed in two moderately funny minor efforts which poked fun at bad tempered stars and the harebrains that wrote their puff pieces. ...

Duel at sundown
This is a very good movie with James Garner and Clint Eastwood. It also has some comedy at the end. If you like Mavericks, you'll love this one. ... Read more

TV's Best Adventures of Superman Volume No. 1.
I had bought TV's Best Adventures of Superman Vol. No.1 from another video company and found it to me,to be of extremely delightful Superman entertainment. The Superman cartoon contained within Volume No.1 was the first time I ever saw a Superman cartoon. It was beautiful!! I too was so happy to watch again after such a long time, classic episodes from the classic TV series with George Reeves. It brought back so many Superman memories from my childhood!! I have been a fan and a big fan of Superman since I was a little boy and I still am now at age 35.

Great
My dad and I both Knew George, watching this tape brings back
good thoughts of a nice person.

Stupid bad guys think they can impersonate Superman...
Bad guys impersonate Superman and Jimmy Olson on this videotape, which contains two episodes from the "Adventures of Superman" television series starring George Reeves and an animated "Superman" cartoon. In "The Face and the Voice" (B&W Episode #36 November 21, 1953), a gangster has plastic surgery done on his face so he looks like Superman and the Man of Steel gets blamed for a series of crimes he did not commit. Hayden Rorke plays the psychiatrist, just like he will do on "I Dream of Jeannie." In "Jimmy the Kid" (Color Episode 4:6 April 28, 1956), a gang of phony investment operators hire a double for Jimmy Olsen (Jack Larson) to break into the Daily Planet. Both of these episodes feature Noel Neill as Lois Lane. In "Showdown," one of the Superman cartoons produced after the demise of Fleischer Studios, there is a Superman imposter who likes to steal jewels for the crime boss of Metropolis. Clark and Lois catch up with the phony at the opera, where it is up to the real Superman to bring down the curtain on him (sorry, couldn't resist that one). George Reeves was certainly the perfect Clark Kent and the Fleischer Superman has always been my favorite, so this tape provides the best of both worlds. But even as a kid I could not understand how anyone could be fooled by a fake Superman. Everyone knows Superman only does good deeds.

Great series, but WHERE'S THE DVD????
These are remarkably good shows. The basic themes are simple and repeated time and again. But the sense of humor displayed by the writers and the not inconsiderable charismatic persona of George Reeves make this series a cut above.

BUT WHERE'S THE DVD???????????

Superman Super Video
These episodes brought me back to when I was 9 years old, putting everything else aside and devoting 100% of my x-ray concentration time to watching each weekly half hour show with my friends. The music (which is repeated so often over the course of these and all the episodes in the series) really struck a nerve. I understand there are more than 100 episodes in the entire series. I'm sure that many of my brother boomers would agree: What a fantastic DVD package that would make! ... Read more
