.Union Pacific starring: Barbara Stanwyck, Joel McCrea, Akim Tamiroff, Robert Preston, Lynne Overman directed by: Cecil B. DeMille April 04, 1995 I hate the way people look at a black and white classic film and automatically think that the movie has to be bad. People only see the poor special effects and the absense of color but never judge a book by it's cover. " Union Pacific " is has a great western backed by a terrific director, great actors, and a large scale plot. Definently a great movie and a true classic. >>See More Reviews & Details on Union Pacific |

.Palmy Days starring: Miriam Hopkins, Joel McCrea, Paul Cavanagh, Helen Westley, Billie Burke directed by: Elliott Nugent August 03, 1999 A very dated but rather fascinating study of the power of wealth and contentment which is eventually found at the "bottom of the ladder". This was one of Sam Goldwyn's "cheeky" prestigious films that - in the midst of the Great Depression - lectured the hoi polloi on both the virtues of marital fidelity and genteel poverty! Matriachal Mrs. Lorrimore, head of the the once wealthy Lorrimore clan, schemes to save the family fortunes by organising a "profitable marriage". Joel McCrea is infinitely wholesome as usual, but the picture is practically saved - in a large part, anyway - by the playing of Miriam Hopkins in her role as the unfortunate - but eventually contented - Phylis Lorrimore. The notoriously poisonious Lorrimores are additionally enacted by the excellent ... Read More: >>See More Reviews & Details on Palmy Days |

.Foreign Correspondent starring: Alfred Hitchcock, Joel McCrea, Laraine Day, Herbert Marshall, George Sanders directed by: Alfred Hitchcock July 27, 1999 'Foreign Correspondent' is yet another fantasic mystery from Alfred Hitchcock. Although I don't remember the storyline too much, I remember liking it enough to give it a four-star review. >>See More Reviews & Details on Foreign Correspondent |

.The Palm Beach Story starring: Claudette Colbert, Joel McCrea, Mary Astor, Rudy Vallee, Sig Arno directed by: Preston Sturges January 01, 1998 This is a classy, sexy, side-splitting comedy. So why is it not out on DVD?! Buy it, Please! Maybe if enough copies are sold someone will release this gem on DVD. Criterion, are you listening? >>See More Reviews & Details on The Palm Beach Story |

.Four Faces West starring: Joel McCrea, Frances Dee, Charles Bickford, Joseph Calleia, William Conrad directed by: Alfred E. Green January 01, 1998 Four Faces West is a superb little Western, and it is satisfying to see it released on DVD. McCrea, Frances Dee [his real life wife], Charles Bickford [Dee's father], and Joseph Calleia head a fine cast. McCrea is eminently believable; his trademark taciturn, self-effacing character is captivating--not a single shot is fired in the entire movie! Bickford's Pat Garrett is also a stand out. Now, let us hope that some of McCrea's other oaters get released---maybe RAMROD (with Veronica Lake), or the playful SADDLE TRAMP (with John McIntyre) and CATTLE DRIVE (with Dean Stockwell). And there is STRANGER ON HORSEBACK, another superb little Western....and RIDE THE HIGH COUNTRY, already on VHS, desperately needs DVD release. >>See More Reviews & Details on Four Faces West |

.Sullivan's Travels starring: Preston Sturges, Joel McCrea, Veronica Lake, Robert Warwick, William Demarest directed by: Preston Sturges March 01, 1992 Directed by Preston Sturges in 1941, this classic screwball comedy with a message is definitely one worth watching. The film opens with famous Hollywood director, John Sullivan, trying to persuade his bosses to let him make a picture about poverty, O Brother, Where Are Thou? His producers proceed to ridicule him about being privileged and that he knows nothing about troubles. They tell him how they had to grow up selling newspapers to get through college and having to support a widowed mother and three sisters and two brothers. Sullivan realizes they have a point and decides to set out to find some trouble. Of course, as soon as Sullivan leaves the office, the bosses confess they were lying about their troubles, adding a bit of comic relief. Since the bosses feel it would be ...

.South of St. Louis starring: Monte Blue, Nacho Galindo, Dorothy Malone, Zachary Scott, Bob Steele directed by: Ray Enright July 01, 2001 Joel McCrea, Zachary Scott, and Douglas Kennedy star as friends and partners whose ranch is destroyed as the Civil War rages on. Needing money to restart, they end up running guns for the Confederate Army, leaving McCrea's girlfriend Dorothy Malone behind and tangling with saloon singer/businesswoman Alexis Smith. However, each man wants something different, putting the former friends at odds with each other. South Of St. Louis is a passable film, neither exciting enough to be memorable, nor dull enough to be given a bad rating. The actors are competent in poorly drawn characters, the script average, the direction acceptable. Alexis Smith's saloon singer appears to have some spark to her in the beginning, but she quickly fades. The film needs some spark to get it going and to make the audience ...

.Barbary Coast starring: Miriam Hopkins, Edward G. Robinson, Joel McCrea, Walter Brennan, Frank Craven directed by: Howard Hawks April 04, 2000 This is a story that should make its way into the Guinness Book of Records. Dig this: the DVD (allegedly) hit the street in August 2002, was nowhere to be found at the time, then was reported as 'Out of stock'. Now if you look carefully on this page, you'll find that some smart-a** is selling it second hand for... $1,895.95!! Is this somebody's idea of a joke???? >>See More Reviews & Details on Barbary Coast |
