Darby O'Gill And The Little People
»rank: 5705
Chroniques et points de vue:From :Purportedly one of Walt Disney's most personal pet projects, Darby 0'Gill shows the effort and care put into it. Even now the special effects hold up shockingly well. Darby 0'Gill is an estate caretaker, but in his advanced years he's more fond of telling tall tales in the local pub about the wee folk than keeping the grounds. A new man (a very youthful Sean Connery) is sent in to take his place, and 0'Gill doesn't know what will become of himself and his daughter. He snags ...

Custer of the West (Widescreen)
»rank: 14678
Chroniques et points de vue:From :General George Armstrong Custer has been portrayed as everything from a vain but ultimately honorable hero (Errol Flynn in They Died with Their Boots 0n) to an insane, pompous incompetent (Richard Mulligan in the biting Little Big Man), but few have attempted an ambitious look at the man in all his contradictions. Robert Siodmak's Custer of the West, his final American production, attempts the task with fine results, portraying the career soldier as a pragmatist, a disciplinarian with a bullying streak, a loner, and ultimately an 0ld ...

Anna Karenina
»rank: 44313
Chroniques et points de vue: Essential Video:Garbo won two consecutive New York Film Critics Awards for best actress in this and Camille--an altogether more satisfying selection. At 95 minutes, this handsome David 0. Selznick production for MGM hasn't a prayer of doing justice to the rich supporting cast of characters in Tolstoy's thick novel (notably Kitty, through no fault of the perky Maureen 0'Sullivan). That was equally true of Clarence Brown's 1927 silent version Love (1927), also starring Garbo, but it was both more passionate and more fluid; Brown's direction here gathers ...

The Thin Red Line
»rank: 44313
Chroniques et points de vue:From :This serious-minded but flawed effort at bringing James Jones's later World War ll novel to the screen might have languished in film vaults had reclusive director Terence Malick not resurfaced with a newer version, the likely spur to this video release. This first attempt, lensed in 1964, offers glimpses of what may have attracted Malick to the project. Jones's story focuses on two American soldiers during the Guadalcanal campaign, the newlywed draftee Private Doll (Keir Dullea) and Sergeant Welch (Jack Warden), the hardened veteran. Doll is determined ...
