![]() Pre-Code Hollywood Collection (The Cheat / Merrily We Go to Hell / Hot Saturday / Torch Singer / Murder at the Vanities / Search for Beauty) $49.98 I'd hate for anyone who is unfamiliar with Pre-Code cinema to start by viewing this collection. I found three films -- "Hot Saturday," "Torch Singer," and "Murder at the Vanities," more than satisfactory. "The Cheat" is a pale shadow of C. B. DeMille's sadistic silent version of the same story. "Merrily We Go to Hell," in which Sylvia Sidney plays a poor little rich girl who marries a drunk who never says he loves her, is one of the least likable films of any era that I have ever seen. "Search for Beauty" is a downright strange combination of Busby Berkeley and Lena Wertmuller cinematography without much of a story to hang it on. If you want to see some good Pre-Code cinema, start with one of the other collections. ![]() W.C. Fields Comedy Collection (The Bank Dick / My Little Chickadee / You Can't Cheat an Honest Man / It's a Gift / International House) $59.98 this was probably the best video purchase i have ever made. amazing service and the greatest videos. ![]() DS Lite Action Replay $19.99 I bought this for my 10-year-old niece. The ratings I gave are from her point of view; I'm not a good source. Thank you, Amazon.com and the seller. ![]() Cheats $26.98 It did not take to long for it to come in the mail, and the movies is one of the best high school comedy's you could ever see. Not only is it unique and not about getting laid but the movie is more accurate to the subject of cheating because the guy who wrote and directed the film was the one that cheated so its more truthful then most other movies about cheating |
