Rather than review the speak of this almost universally beloved film, I’m unbiased going to comment about the quality of the 2006 60th Anniversary Edition DVD itself. I’ve since written an updated review about a current edition of this title, now available in a “Two-Disc Collector’s Area.” Please rep that review — which was posted on December 13, 2008. (Amazon has posted my 2006 review in both places — even though the “60th Anniversary Edition” DVD is DIFFERENT from the “Two-Disc Collector’s Plot”. Read my write-up for the “Two-Disc Collector’s Dwelling” — again, it’s DATED 2008 and too early to corrupt among the “most expedient” reviews — to better resolve which product you capture.)

I’ve owned nearly every version of this title in almost every format available on home video during the past 25 years. It’s accurate that the Direct of this Viacom/Paramount DVD — including its special features — is identical to the Republic Pictures Home Video release more than 10 years ago.

However, this 60th Anniversary edition is spectacular for several different and extremely considerable reasons. (I’ll address the criticisms some people have leveled about the sound on this 2006 DVD in a petite bit, so stick with me.)

You don’t have to be a technical expert to immediately seek the striking improvement of the relate AND sound in this 2006 edition. The print is crystal-clear and in my notion, has more vividness and sharpness than ALL other previous releases of this title on home video.

Proof? I set aside my “passe” THX-version DVD issued by Republic Pictures / Artisan Home Video (the frail DVD gold standard for this title) — into my Sony multi-changer DVD player — and watched and listened to every frame of this film AND its special features. I stopped and started this “older” DVD in several spots — and stopped and started the unique 2006 Paramount edition repeatedly — so I could compare quality almost “side-by-side.”

Hands down — this 2006 version is incredible. The spots and dirt have been wiped orderly, the sharpness and difference are arguably better than what film audiences saw 60 years ago. There are no stale spots, no jumped frames and no lint, fiber or hair fragments along the edges or jumping across the conceal. I fill the technicians at Paramount (which acquired Republic Pictures Home Video) — digitally cleaned EVERY frame of the last DVD release — so that the film now looks like a million dollars. It’s almost too pristine, if there is such a thing. No jump cuts, no “jump ahead” sound breaks, no fogged-out scenes, nothing conventional — with the result being the cleanest and purest version of “It’s A Improbable Life” ever issued in home video history.

It gets better. English subtitles were available on older DVD versions of this title, but the 2006 version has a cleaner typeface, wiping out some of the confusing and unnecessary attributions of “who’s saying what” that were disruptive to some hearing-impaired viewers. In this 2006 version, you’ll gather a mostly straight, line-by-line reading of what’s being said — as it’s being said.

Meanwhile, the DVD’s special features — which include the same pair of documentaries produced in 1990 and 1991 — are identical in that they were shot on video tape hence there isn’t powerful improvement in report quality. However, subtitles that WERE NOT available for these special features — are NOW available in this 2006 edition. The only “extra” to the previous “gold standard” that remains unchanged — is the unique 1946 trailer. Subtitles are not available and it has the same raggedness and dirt commonly seen with vintage trailers stored separately from the films they stale to advertise.

I’m highly significant of re-issued DVDs that seem nothing more than an excuse to squeeze more dollars out of buyers for the same material with unique packaging. But this 2006 Paramount DVD version of “It’s A Unbelievable Life” is the best to date. It is NOT in color. (I beget a colorized version for younger people who can’t stand black-and-white. Despite controversy surrounding colorization, know that the 2007 “Two-Disc Collector’s State” has the same 2006 60th Anniversary black-and-white edition you gawk here — plus a original “colorized” version. This version uses the same pristine print — but has the added bonus of boasting the best “color” hues ever seen for this film, using the latest image technology available. Despite my preference for black-and-white, the quality of this unusual colorized version is impressive.)

Meanwhile, let’s address the criticisms about the sound on this recent DVD. Go encourage a petite bit. Great was made when Republic Pictures Home Video got the THX LucasFilm sound system seal of approval for “It’s A Astonishing Life” during the 1990s. But it was collected two-channel mono with negligible equalization of sound effects. In this 2006 DVD, you’ll salvage consistent two-channel mono and decent sound equalization to minimize “booming” and over-modulated portions in the film. In the mature versions, you had to turn down the volume a notch during the musical portions — and turn it relieve up when the dialogue came attend. It’s a nit-pick, but you really study the incompatibility if you’re crazy enough to do a side-by-side comparison like I did.

As for the digital sound “pops” that perfectionists withhold bringing up — they’re correct. They’re even in the spots celebrated by another resplendent reviewer who listed time codes where you can accumulate them. But in my plan, unless you brace yourselves for them to near like a booming jabber — unless you purposely crank up your speakers to carry sound throughout your house — yeah, you “might” be annoyed if you inquire the same perfection for a film made in 1946 as you would for a film made in 2006. Honestly, the disproportionate attention given to these digital “pops” is, in my opinion, giving fence-sitters the impression that they’re supersonic cracks of lightning that will build people jump out of their seats. I didn’t twitch at all. They almost “blended” into the 60-year-old soundtrack. Yes, I know they’re digital defects, but do you remember the zillion “pops” scattered throughout dirty prints of “It’s A Astounding Life” with filthy optical soundtracks? The audio on this 2006 DVD detached wins. You have EVERY Legal to question perfection for your dollars. But as a person who’s more fastidious than average — I don’t possess most buyers will care about a few “pops” in a film that’s this ragged. Combine the overall improvements with the relatively vulgar cost of this DVD — and I mild say this is the BEST experience of “It’s A Incredible Life” I’ve ever SEEN and HEARD on home video.

Finally, another reason to win this DVD. It’s stale news to some, but it’s not widely known that this version of “It’s A Fantastic Life” can only be broadcast by NBC. It aged to air a zillion times during the holidays on every TV plot on earth. It was a rapid intention to come by tired of even a well-kept film you reflect you know by heart. But Viacom/Paramount now owns this version of “It’s A Astounding Life” outright and NBC has odd licensing rights to air it unbiased once or twice after Thanksgiving. This is a favorable thing for future generations to relish.

So junk the obsolete, steal this version and be pleased. It may feel painful, but it’s worth it. And no, I DON’T work for Amazon OR for Paramount Home Video.

A beautifully crafted film that proved to be the apex of triple Oscar-winner (1934, 1936, 1938) Frank Capra’s well-known career, and the epitome of his cycle of works celebrating the “favorite man”. Mr. Deeds found himself suddenly wealthy, Mr. Smith went to Washington as a Senator, and John Doe became the focus of a socio-political movement; but “Life”’s George Bailey never distinguishes himself outside of his cramped hometown of Bedford Falls — his brother Harry is the one who becomes a war hero, and his friend Sam Wainwright is the one who achieves financial success. George’s triumph is simply his personal integrity, his code of ethics, and his strength of character — his goodness, if you will — during the unexciting course of his ordinary, mundane existence. In this respect, George is more an Everyman than any other Capra protagonist, entertaining strong audience identification and response.

In one of the most shapely performances ever given in an American film, James Stewart is obliging as George. It’s not an easy role to play because so mighty mask time is spent focusing on George’s subtle reactions to the world around him. One wonderful moment comes at the direct region when George slowly begins to hold the news of his brother’s unique marriage and unusual career opportunity, and how his brother’s fortune will kill his possess hopes of leaving Bedford Falls and the family business. Stewart’s face is astonishing in this scene, as surprised realization fades into tranquil disappointment and finally, gentle graciousness and acceptance. Stewart’s tour de force is given strong befriend by a profitable cast of Capra stalwarts, including Lionel Barrymore, Thomas Mitchell, H. B. Warner, and the phenomenal Beulah Bondi (as George’s mother) . And Donna Reed, in one of her first romantic leading roles after a number of years playing supporting ingenues and bits, is proper in the warm but unglamorous role of George’s loving wife, Mary.

The Republic Home Video DVD is definitely the edition of this classic to beget. Like the LaserDisc before it, the DVD offers a crystal sure, beautifully restored film-to-video transfer which will amaze and delight anyone who is familiar only with the corrupt multi-generational VHS cassettes, or the abominable colorized version, that were commonly screened serve in the unhurried 1970’s and 1980’s. There are some nice bonus features on the DVD, including a “making of” documentary and the theatrical trailer. This is one DVD that you’ll never regret adding to your home theatre collection!

Trivia note: If you’re a fan of this movie, try finding a copy of film historian David Thomson’s 1985 recent “Suspects” which continues George’s fable and relates the characters from this movie to many others (did you know that Donna Reed’s “Mary Bailey” is actually the sister of Gene Tierney’s “Laura”?!, etc.) … gargantuan fun!

The Killing Hour is one of those movies that’s bulky of potential, but never quite reaches it. The one thing you should know rather like a flash is the killer is a character already in the movie and not someone who pops up at the slay. You should figure out hastily who it actually is, but there a few scenes that might accomplish you 2nd guess that. But it’s not really a surprise, on who the killer is, but their motive is the twist that while is fairly engaging, one would judge the police would figure it out. It’s one of those twists you have to sight what you say or the whole movie will be nefarious and while again the twist is fairly trustworthy, but not definite how the cops wouldn’t figure it out.

The screenplay by Jonathon Ringkamp was the biggest plight with the movie, while not poorly written it’s objective that the characters lack any depth and really aren’t all that animated. The view was quite gripping, but the screenplay is the downfall here. Again it’s not poorly written, but the characters unprejudiced aren’t lively, which wouldn’t be so dreadful had the movie focus on the murders. Since its more character driven well you need solid characters something this doesn’t have.

Director Armand Mastroianni made his directorial debut with the slasher flick He Knows You’re Alone, which was actually the very first film Tom Hanks appeared in; Mastroianni really isn’t a terrible director, while he’s not large or anything he can sigh a well-made movie on a cramped budget and while I’m no expert on his career he’s done some palatable movies. He Knows You’re Alone was a solid if not clichéd slasher flick that was actually shot in Staten Island, Ny where I live and I’ve actually hung around in the areas it was shot so maybe I’m a bit biased.

Buy,Download, Or Stream The Killing Hour! Click Here

With the Killing Hour he doesn’t obtain as fun as a movie as his debut, but the problems here are with the writing and not the directing. Mastroianni gets the best out of each scene, but there really wasn’t powerful he could do to manufacture up for the shortcomings of the script. As I stated earlier you should figure out who the killer is rather early, but Mastroianni is able to add some nice touches to invent you 2nd guess that.

The cast is resplendent friendly with Perry King and Norman Parker give solid performances despite not having the best of material. Elizabeth Kemp as Virna Nightbourne is the strongest character, but is given microscopic to do in the first half and by the time she enters the movie most of the potential is now gone, but Kemp makes the best out of a primitive character.

Overall The Killing Hour is by no means a unpleasant movie, but never reaches the potential it had. The twist is enthralling, but cannot attach the movie. In the extinguish it’s an alright movie; you could do better, but you can also do a lot worse.

I first saw this on PBS’s Mystery series a couple of years ago and loved it. I was able to tape two of the episodes on a narrate, but I’m holding out hope (most likely in vain) for a DVD release. And Diana Rigg’s introductions on the Mystery version add lots of background and period information about some of the actual people some of the characters resemble. I acquire that this comentary is not included on the VHS release (? ) .

Police Superintendent Albert Tyburn has left England and Scotland Yard for the East African colony of Kenya. He left under a cloud and rumours about why have followed him all the map to Nairobi. He’s to head up the newly created Criminal Investigations unit that pompous snob and windbag Police Commissioner Burkitt feels is entirely unnecessary. For Tyburn, “crime is crime” and people are people and his determination to treat the natives with respect along with his refusal to point to his “betters” first-rate deference is a continual irritant to his often lofty suspects. He’s also constantly irritating his obliging, Burkitt who loathes Tyburn and tells him “you’re not one of us and you never will be” - for which Tyburn is eternally grateful! Trevor Eve is fabulous as Tyburn - sparkling, sexy, wry and sardonic he has no qualms about being unpopular as long as the criminals pay.

Then there’s aviatrix Emma Fitzgerald (played by the terrific Susannah Harker) an independent woman on the fringe of “polite society” who pilots her acquire plane for safaris and supply runs. She and Tyburn meet when her sister is murdered in episode one. Their mutual respect and friendship evolves into one of the most understated (but sweet) romances I’ve ever seen!

Great, tight stories, an authentic period atmosphere and improbable supporting characters in Dr Mueller, Inspector Valentine, Corporal Karendi, Governor Rex Willoughby, decadent party-boy Chico DeVille and the sleazy and villainous Max Van der Vuerst all add up to incandescent and luscious viewing. Highly recommended!

I’ve watched this three-tape series at least three times since purchasing it a few months ago and I objective can’t salvage enough of it! From the music earn, scenery and characters to the selection of actors, props and locations, this is a thoroughly delectable British mystery series. Trevor Eve as Superintendent Tyburn and Michael Byrne as Commissioner Burkitt, to say nothing of Susannah Harker as Emma Fitzgerald, are outstanding as musty mystery characters. It’s a shame that Carlton TV did not effect a follow on reprisal to this lively seek at Nairobi in 1931. I highly recommend “Heat of the Sun” to anyone who seeks to curl up on a icy winter evening for a righteous detective record.

There was a time where camp classics weren’t exactly intentional but were every bit as delightful as the camp films we have now. “Historical Epics” is the fourth in Warner Home Video’s “Cult Camp Classics” and at least two of these three films are actually quite favorable outside of the classification.

The first “The Colossus of Rhodes” was the first film that Sergio Leone took credit on as a director. Status during during the Hellenistic era before the rise of Rome, this film features cowboy b-movie star Rory Calhoun as a Greek(!) hero vacationing in Rhodes who gets pulled into an attempt to overthrow the Emperor. The centerpiece of this film a 180 foot high statue that stood astride the waterways of Rhodes and could be dilapidated as a weapon to defend the city by dumping hot molten lead on invaders or would be revolutionaries.

Featuring risable dialogue, mammoth action sequences and impressive production get, this international production (featuring actors from Italy, Spain, America and France) features a number of resplendent region pieces that hint at Leone’s spacious Italian Westerns such as “The Splendid, The Abominable and The Gross” and “Once Upon a Time in the West”. The film looks quite superb with an great commentary track by Leone biographer and film historian Christopher Frayling who covers everything from the historical context of the film (the accurate statue of Rhodes was believed to be about 38 feet high and overlooked the city) and the unusual theatrical trailer. Frayling points out the obliging (Leone’s glowing exhaust of the camera), the abominable (often the dialogue is quite ripe) and the ghastly (the overwrought performances of some of the actors) but level-headed finds merit in the film.

Leone does a hommage to Hitchcock’s “North by Northwest” and “Sabteour” particularly during the destroy sequence on top of the Colossus of Rhodes where there is a fight sequence. Fans of cinema will gaze other references to other films that Leone sneaks in to this historical memoir which is calm quite luscious both as a memorable see into what would reach later from Leone’s classic films as well as the humorous status devices and dialogue.

“Land of the Pharaohs” was directed by Howard Hawks and co-written by William Faulkner(!) so how could one go outrageous with this historical story about the building of the pyramids? Joan Collins plays a Nellifer in this narrative production while Jack Hawkins is the Pharaoh Cheops putting thousands to work to earn is massive tomb. It’s exciting because the structure of this film echoes Hawks’ gargantuan western “Red River”. “Pharoahs” is an sterling minor Hawks classic with an story scale and of the three here is the least camp best film of the bunch. Collins brings the camp element to the forefront with her performance as the scheming Nellifer.

The film features Peter Bogdanovich providing a commentary. Bogdanovich doesn’t believe mighty of the film (nor did Hawks as is evident in the interview excerpts included here) but it’s a shapely sterling historical memoir with the massive spectacle and production compose that one expects from the genre. If it fails to live up to Hawks best films, that could be because he was working in a genre that he wasn’t totally comfortable with.

The last film included here “The Prodigal” featuring Lana Turner fits into the camp camp quie well. It apes the Cecil B. DeMille Biblical and historical epics quite well. Basically this tells the sage of the prodigal son (Edmund Purdom) who falls for a pagan priestess (Turner) .

Dr. Drew Casper gives a frentic and arresting commentary track that makes more of this film than is there. Casper mentions in his commentary that he feels this is a remake of Raoul Walsh’s “The Wanderer” from 1926 which I’ve never seen. He also provides moving biographical information on many of the actors in the film.

All the films included here scrutinize extremely estimable with some looking considerable better than others depending on the source print and its condition. Warner does an beneficial job of putting this together powerful as they did with some of the other “Cult Camp Classics” sets in the series (the other two I purchased I haven’t watched yet–I wanted to go for the space that had the Hawks and Leone films first) . Some of these sets have no or minimal extras (such as a trailer only) but most have commentary tracks and all the ones here even when they aren’t perfect provide background on the films. Frayling is always consuming and does an outstanding job adding humor and has a relaxed conversational style that makes his informative commentary the best of the bunch here.

Three stars for the films with an extra star for the commentary tracks.

Though these movies can be viewed as campy sword ‘n sandle flicks, two of the three are actually handsome wonderful. All three are in color and anamorphic ’scope, and two even have multi-track sound. The images are crisp and determined, with no impress of fading.

The Colossus of Rhodes was directed by Sergio Leone, with impressive visuals and a colossal cast of extras. The weakest (and most funny) piece of the film is Rory Calhoun’s leading character, but the rest of the cast is lovely - though the spot is overly-complex. Rory, a visiting hero from Athens, leads a slave revolt, amid treacherous plots to enslave composed Rhodes.

Land of the Pharaohs was produced and directed by Howard Hawks and written by no less than William Faulkner. The leads are played by Jack Hawkins and Joan Collins. Hawkins portrays a king obsessed with accumulating wealth for the afterlife, along with building a tomb to house himself and the gold. Collins plays a scheming princess who wants the gold for herself. Joan Collins is far from the stereotype she became in later years, and her acting ability leaves no doubt as to why Hawkins’ Pharaoh falls for her.

The Prodigal, retelling the Biblical sage of the prodigal son, is the only truly campy film among the three. There are lots of processions, ponderous dialog, pagan temples, and a blooming pagan priestess to tempt the hero. Lana Turner may be splendid, but she needs to recall tempting-the-hero lessons from Joan Collins. Speaking of camp, at one point we peek a long wall where various slaves are lined up for sale, with descriptions and prices written on the wall next to each slave - written in english of course. Now that’s camp!

Why is Geena Davis an Oscar-winner? Spy this flick; you won’t need to ask that again. Her sensitive portrayal of Dottie Hinson highlights the many facets of Davis’ talents as an actress. I loved watching a allotment of history (however dramatized) which took residence during my early childhood. Madonna and Rosie O’Donnell were surprisingly proper as the loudmouth-but-secretly-caring-and-feeling Mae and Doris. You’ll plunge in esteem with Ann Cusack’s “Shirley Baker”, and awful, gruesome but super-star batter Marla Hooch is someone you objective gotta root for. Tom Hanks gives us his usual fair performance as the arrogant, boozy and cynical (but in for some surprises) coach Jimmy Dugan. The chauvinistic/sexist scheme the female players were treated (professional baseball in a cocktail waitress costume!? ) by management, the public and the press (”…after all, they’re only girls.”) will incense many viewers, but it’s the arrangement things actually were then. For the movie to be made any other intention would be less than truth. The plan that the staunch Dotties, Kits, Maes, Dorises and the others dealt with those attitudes surely contributed to social change and enlightenment about the abilities of the female half of our population. A compliment, also, to the casting people; where did they salvage the older look-alikes? Notably, Lynn Cartwright as “Older Dottie” and Eugenia McLin as “Older Ellen Sue”. This movie is for everyone. Comedy with poignant drama. If you like teary endings, bring the Kleenex. The nostalgia scenes will begin the gallop. Gigantic, titanic movie.

A League of their Absorb was one of the best movies I’ve ever had the pleasure to peer. I had seen it years ago and recently bought my have copy of it. This movie is one of the best that Penny Marshall has ever directed. The casting was safe. Madonna and Rosie O’Donnell were perfect as street-wise, but loveable May and Doris! Geena Davis did a fantastic job playing Dottie Henson, who had a reliable care for for the game, yet had responsibilities and priorities that were more vital to her. Lori Petty was gargantuan as Kit, Dottie’s microscopic sister who fought so hard to come by out from under her sister’s shadow. Marla Hooch, what a gigantic character!! Evelyn and her miniature boy Stillwell “Angel” will support you in smiling all the time you want to bean him with a baseball bat. Ellen Sue, Helen, Betty Spaghetti, I feel like I know them all!! And Tom Hanks plays one of his best roles ever, as Jimmy Duggan, an ex-ball player turned coach. Not too thrilled with the job of coaching “girls”, he accepts the job and finally comes to respect them as a team and as baseball players. I contemplate one of the best parts of the movies is when the ball players reunite after 40 years and the casting of the older woman to play the parts of the aging ball players is a masterpiece. It is grand how these older “look-alikes” were all brought into this movie. This is a movie worth watching, owning and recommending. Very few reach along in a lifetime that provide so considerable trustworthy, distinct entertainment, but this movie has it all. I recommend it highly!

After a string of movies space in Europe, Woody Allen triumphantly returns to his beloved Current York for Whatever Works. Since Allen releases a unique film each year, it’s hit-or-miss with him (rightfully so) . This film got less-than-enthusiastic reviews and, as such, I wasn’t expecting remarkable from it…But the critics really misrepresented this film, as this is one of Woody’s best comedies.

Buy,Download, Or Stream Whatever Works! Click Here

Larry David (of Curb Your Enthusiasm fame) plays Boris Yellnikoff, a caustic, retired physicist who walks with a limp due to a failed suicide attempt. Now, Boris teaches chess to “zombie-minded imbeciles.” Evan Rachel Wood plays Melodie, a naïve runaway from Mississippi, who stumbles into Boris’ life…Against all odds, the two marry and Melodie’s parents (played wonderfully by Patricia Clarkson and Ed Begley, Jr.) both, separately, regain her.

I’m not familiar with Larry David’s previous work, so I don’t know how distinguished of this performance carries over from his believe persona; but David is playing the Woody Allen role here to perfection. David perfectly captures the neurotic, arrogant genius that is Boris and recites Allen’s dialogue as if it comes straight from his enjoy thoughts. Of course, this is a film filled with gigantic performances as can be expected from a film by Woody Allen. Begley, Jr. is particularly surprising as Melodie’s father…And while some may not be too impressed by Wood’s performance as Melodie, she’s very convincing and cute.

Buy,Download, Or Stream Whatever Works! Click Here

This is truthfully one of Allen’s best comedies and an all-around colossal film. The dialogue here is typical, philosophical, sarcastic Allen…But it doesn’t objective elicit chuckles, but full-on, laugh-out-loud laughter. It’s a very smart film that not ONLY ranks as one of Allen’s best comedies, but one of his best films. I don’t inspect how this film has not received the amount of praise it deserves, because I clearly saw something all the critic’s didn’t. While the past few years have shown a return to acquire for Allen, this film stands as a terrific achievement in the Allen catalogue. It’s quite honestly one of the best films I’ve seen this year and it’s not to be missed.

GRADE: A

I will corrupt this film in my top five Woody Allen films which include: Annie Hall, Hannah and Her Sisters, Interiors,

and Sleeper.

Laughed out loud for many of the segments and the script. Perfect cure on a rainy day.

Thank you Woody Allen!

This fondly remembered 27-minute short subject from 1959 was previously released on the exiguous edition 2-disc “Walt Disney Treasures: The Chronological Donald, Vol. 4″ in 2008. Although small to only 35,000, proper Donald fans might instead want to track down a former or collectible copy of that two-disc situation which included this short alongside 30 other cartoons from that era as well as ten 1999 Donald Duck shorts and other special features. The original pre-order label seems particularly steep for a bare-bones disc with a 27-minute program, and if this disc is similar or identical to the version previously strange to the Disney Movie Club, it will include nothing besides the main feature and previews for upcoming Disney films and DVDs.

One of the last four theatrical Donald Duck cartoons, Donald in Mathmagic Land didn’t gather the Academy Award for 1959, which went to John Hubley’s Moonbird, but it was nominated for “Best Documentary Short”. In retrospect, it’s probably not only the best educational short of that year, but one of the best of any year. Hamilton Luske directed this lavish featurette, which despite clocking in at only 27 minutes, is filled with modernistic slack ’50s style art, dense and lavish color, and our celebrated, unsuitable duck.

Teachers loved to project this film for their classes, as it was so far above the host of now decently buried educational films of the time. This DVD opens with a montage trailer of scenes from the “Astounding World of Disney” releases, which have the characteristic gaze of the four color Technicolor of the ’60s, and that places this film in its rightful millieu. In his biography, venerable NBC head, Pat Weaver recalls that Disney offered NBC its film and TV catalog in the mid- ’50s if NBC would catch a fourth of the then fledgling Disneyland Park. David Sarnoff, president of RCA, which owned NBC, flatly refused. The Disneyland TV present therefore continued on ABC, with a title change in the 1959 season to “Walt Disney Presents”. Due to the runaway success of Davey Crockett, however, ABC wanted Walt to sustain cranking out westerns, so in 1961, the program moved to NBC, with a fresh name many viewers remember, “The Fabulous World of Color”.

“General” Sarnoff had made obvious that RCA’s one goal was to sell color TV sets, since most homes unexcited had sad and white, and “Donald Duck in Mathmagic Land” aired on its recent network as share of an hour note hosted by a unique character, Ludwig Von Drake, called “An Adventure in Color”. I very noteworthy wish that had been included on this DVD, as not only is the program racy in its beget honest, as well as a popular of Von Drake fans, but it’s a enchanting snapshot of the early days of color TV, as the mallard professor talks about color, with continual asides like “you people with shaded and white sets will have to imagine what this looks like”. Then there’s the theme song, “The world is a carousel of color, color, color. Incredible, amazing color.” The accompanying insensible motion nature shots made for an unforgettable, enchanting entrance to the prove, which segued to the magic paintbrush, the celebrated trademark of Disney educational films. Even in the days of dusky and white sets, Disney had farsightedly chosen to film in color.

An early VHS release for video stores included the entire point to, but so far, the other share hasn’t made it to DVD. This shorter featurette, however, stands alone, and has far outlived most of the other inviting shorts from the present. It’s also on The Chronological Donald Volume Four. Some reviewers have famous that ten bucks might be a bit high for an under half hour indicate, and it would be nice to have some extras like interviews with animators or commentary on the short. However, anyone who’s ever seen this film will probably fair be joyful to accept it on DVD. There’s also an “enhanced” teacher’s edition for about $50. That may seem steep, but you gain a “printable teachers’ guide” and public performance license to indicate it in class, not unlike when educators of an earlier era would bustle to rent the film reel from distributors, and it probably ranked as the most checked out educational film.

The math in this film has been criticized, and some of it seems a bit of a stretch, but anyone enthusiastic in the Golden Allotment or Divine Proportion, as it is variously termed, or patterns in nature, or basic principles of how a guitar works likely first got the bug watching this indicate. Someone might even have hit the billiard hall armed with tricky shots from the film. Some of the chessboard and geometric shapes parts might seem more like an excuse to do some animation, but they are aloof titillating, and this is not the only wildly speculative Disney film. If a few bits seem somewhat dated, that’s all fraction of the fun of a period film, and for animation lovers, this one is a worship trove. So in many ways, this bare-bones, budget edition is the best of all worlds, and will likely entice modern viewers to join broken-down fans on the well-trod path with Donald in Mathmagic Land.

Tracy’s Intelligent Crew, September 3, 2006

Chet Gould’s classic humorous strip Dick Tracy got a invent over in the 1961 enthralling cartoon series.

Dick Tracy was the point man of this cartoon series. He assigned cases to his junior detective/comic sidekicks Joe Jitsu (a karate Charlie Chan wannabe) and Go-go Gomez (a posthaste rapid Mexican detective) . Both sidekicksa are voiced by Mel Blanc (the articulate of Bugs Bunny) . These junior detectives combat cases with classic rogues’ gallery of Tracy’s villains like Flattop, Itchy, Mumbles, Prune face, etc.

These so-called sidekicks were so mighty stereotypes. However this was theideal of most 1960’s animation and cartoons. The aninmated stereotypes were normal for TV at that time

The animation is qualified and crisply done for 1960 TV animation, unlike the 1960’s Marvel titillating pictures or filmation stuff with DC heroes (with Superman, Batman,etc) . It is magnificent in intelligent standards, not fair lips engrossing like Clutch Cargo. It was UPI Studios who also did Mr Magoo cartoons, so there was a sense of quality to it. In my plan, It fared better than most of today’s stuff tv animation has to offer other than Hanna Barbara animation, which to me was and is the gold standard of cartoon excellence. I judge Ed, Edd and Eddie for an example of the worse of today’s gripping stuff. This DVD has no extra features, impartial proper orderly family fun. It is worth getting for a keepsake of expansive 1960’s animation.

However if you want estimable spirited TV Tracy adventures, I am holding out and waiting for TV Funnies with eight small Tracy Episodes (which are unavailable for DVD at this time) . Until then, this will have to do for my TRACY fix.

At last on DVD, here are all 130 UPA five shrimp cartoons. Hailing from 1961, this series was created with Dick Tracy creator, Chester Gould as consultant. However, it’s a very light, slapstick-style cartoon with the modernistic, minimal notice UPA was known for. In the leisurely ’50s- early ’60s this was all the rage, as animators tried to derive slight animation techniques to fit TV’s itsy-bitsy budgets. At the same time, they had to compete with stock theatrical cartoons making their blueprint to the tiny conceal, which had lavish studio facilities and bottomless wallets.

Hanna-Barbera would be the winner in the TV sweeps, offsetting dinky animation techniques like characters running past the same tree or barber pole again and again and reusing heads and bodies by animating in layers (cels), with comely dialogue, top notch inform actors, whimsical character form, plucky graphic style and a modern paintbox of intelligent colors.

UPA is better-known for Mr. Magoo, whom UPA successfully transferred from award-winning theatrical cartoons to a number of TV series (which have yet to earn DVD) . Shown initially in syndication and later as The Dick Tracy Prove, this UPA series was extremely favorite. Tracy has an office job in this exhibit, merely dispatching jobs to his team of crime fighters: Joe Jitsu, Go Go Gomez and Hemlock Holmes (a British bulldog) . They may be considered stereotypes by some viewers, but the notion was to pit diverse and exaggerated wonderful guys against the peculiar dreadful guys who people Gould’s comics. Usually cartoons took these ideas straight across from the movies. Joe Jitsu is share crime-solver par excellence Mr. Moto, and incorporates the then-current rage for ju-jitsu. The Retouchables, the theme music cues us, steal the Keystone Kops. Rather than the gloomy tone of Gould’s strip, however, the series has the light, slapstick tone echoing kids’ TV of the time.

The packaging is an glowing album which opens to express four one-sides discs. Mine came packaged with a free 64 page shaded and white comical of Gould’s first three Dick Tracy adventures (which have nothing in approved with the cartoon) advertising the view to reprint Gould’s entire silly series. That may be a limited-time premium. At any rate, here’s UPA’s first entry on DVD; let’s hope Mr. Magoo isn’t far unhurried.
