Second Chorus / That’s Dancing! was an incredible movie! Both Fred Astaire and Paulette Goddard were amazing! The great cast includes Fred Astaire, Paulette Goddard, Artie Shaw, Charles Butterworth, Burgess Meredith. If you love watching Fred Astaire or Paulette Goddard, you are definitely going to want to watch Second Chorus / That’s Dancing!
Second Chorus Fred Astaire stars in this swing musical. He plays a trumpet player in competition with another musician for the affections of their manager (played by the beautiful Paulette Goddard), who fends off their attentions while struggling to get them paying gigs. But who can resist being swept off her feet by the elegant Astaire? Goddard (at the time wife of movie legend Charles Chaplin, who starred with her in the classic comedy Modern Times) dances the light fantastic with Astaire in this delightful treat from the heyday of movie musicals. Songs include the Oscar-nominated “Would You Like to Be the Love of My Life?.” A fine musical for all fans of Fred Astaire!
Bonus Material: That’s Dancing With Fred Astaire Fred Astaire danced with some of the loveliest leading ladies ever to grace the silver screen. Here is a selection of original theatrical trailers that enticed audiences into movie houses during the golden era when Fred Astaire ruled as king of Hollywood’s musical stars– and his partner (whoever she might be) was queen.
Meg Ryan (YOU’VE GOT MAIL) and Hugh Jackman (X-MEN) are paired as star-crossed lovers who discover that passion and chivalry never go out of style! When a rip in time brings together a charming 19th century bachelor and a thoroughly 21st century woman, the potential for an old-fashioned modern romance ignites! Also starring Breckin Meyer (ROAD TRIP) and Liev Schreiber (SCREAM 3).
Just as Roberto Benigni found himself on the receiving end of some finger-wagging for making a comedy set during the Holocaust, so the great Ernst Lubitsch caught some heat for this extraordinary 1942 satire set behind enemy lines during World War II. In his best performance on film, Jack Benny stars as Joseph Tura, the lead actor and head of a Polish theater troupe that is suddenly enlisted as a Resistance organization when an American pilot (Robert Stack) requires protection. The twist is that the pilot has been having a series of trysts with Tura’s wife (Carole Lombard), the hilarious evidence being the disruptive departure of Stack’s character from a theater audience each night as the hammy Tura unknowingly cues the lovers by launching into Hamlet’s famous soliloquy. The remarkable script by Edwin Justus Mayer ingeniously folds the tensions of a betrayed marriage into the comic suspense surrounding Tura and company’s efforts to pull off a Mission: Impossible-like sting on the local Nazi command. Many unforgettable moments and lines of dialogue adorn this black comedy, and the performances–most memorably Sig Ruman’s crisp volleys with Benny–are a dream. Above it all, however, is Lubitsch’s unmistakable Continentalism, his accent on Old World manners especially in a dangerous situation, suggesting the Nazis’ very vulgarity was a reflection of their profound evil. –Tom Keogh
Ok, let’s look at All Creatures Great and Small - The Complete Collection.
First, the movie is about Experience the phenomenally successful series, All Creatures Great and Small, based on the best-selling books by James Herriot. Set in the fictional Yorkshire Dales town of Darrowby, the series offers comforting reflections of a much gentler time when life moved at a somewhat slower pace. This collection features every episode, tracing the endearing career of this country veterinarian, from the 1930’s through World War II and the hopeful 1950s. It’s a joyful journey that will warm the hearts of fans everywhere.

I really enjoyed the performace of Robert Hardy and Robert Hardy. The rest of the cast was solid as well. The cast includes Christopher Timothy, Robert Hardy, Peter Davison, Carol Drinkwater, Lynda Bellingham.
Miracle on 34th Street (1947) The original 1947 version of this Valentine Davies story follows the misadventures of Kris Kringle (Edmund Gwenn) as he gets a job playing Santa Claus at Macy’s department store in New York City. Natalie Wood is the little girl who tells him she doesn’t believe in Santa, and Maureen O’Hara and John Payne are the couple who help Kris through a trial in which he must prove he’s the jolly fellow from the North Pole. A sweet movie and perennial Christmas favorite, this is one of those movies that gets under your skin and must be revisited every so often. –Tom Keogh
It’s a Wonderful Life Now perhaps the most beloved American film, It’s a Wonderful Life was largely forgotten for years, due to a copyright quirk. Only in the late 1970s did it find its audience through repeated TV showings. Frank Capra’s masterwork deserves its status as a feel-good communal event, but it is also one of the most fascinating films in the American cinema, a multilayered work of Dickensian density. George Bailey (played superbly by James Stewart) grows up in the small town of Bedford Falls, dreaming dreams of adventure and travel, but circumstances conspire to keep him enslaved to his home turf. Frustrated by his life, and haunted by an impending scandal, George prepares to commit suicide on Christmas Eve. A heavenly messenger (Henry Travers) arrives to show him a vision: what the world would have been like if George had never been born. The sequence is a vivid depiction of the American Dream gone bad, and probably the wildest thing Capra ever shot (the director’s optimistic vision may have darkened during his experiences making military films in World War II). Capra’s triumph is to acknowledge the difficulties and disappointments of life, while affirming–in the teary-eyed final reel–his cherished values of friendship and individual achievement. It’s a Wonderful Life was not a big hit on its initial release, and it won no Oscars (Capra and Stewart were nominated); but it continues to weave a special magic. –Robert Horton
Personally, I thought James Stewart was incredible, but wasn’t too impressed with Donna Reed.
So what’s Desperate Housewives - The Complete Second Season all about?
The ladies of Wisteria Lane returned for a second season of high anxiety, testy relationships, and a new mystery. Susan’s (Teri Hatcher) angsty on-again off-again with Mike the plumber (James Denton) took an odd twist when her ex-husband (Richard Burgi) moved in with neighborhood seductress Edie (Nicollette Sheridan), then took an even odder one. Bree (Marcia Cross) resumed her widow’s relationship with George the pharmacist (Roger Bart), then descended into personal addiction. Annette’s (Felicity Huffman) return to the working world turned bizarre when her husband, Tom (Doug Savant), got tired of being a house-husband and returned to the workforce at Annette’s own firm. And Gabrielle (Eva Longoria) had to cope in her own unique way with Carlos (Ricardo Chavira) in prison.
With the first season’s mystery surrounding Mary Alice Young (Brenda Strong, still around as the narrator) revealed–though repercussions were still flying–the show’s intrigue came from a new character, Betty Applewhite (Alfre Woodard), and her son (Mehcad Brooks), who try, unsuccessfully, to fit into Wisteria Lane while harboring their own secret. While Woodard is a great actor, her storyline tended to drag down the action, the brilliant Cross was saddled with two dismal character developments, and the housewives spent far too little time together. There were laughs to be had, however. Huffman’s interplay with Savant was a highlight, and Gabrielle’s conflict with a perceived rival named Sister Mary Bernard (Melinda Page Hamilton) was the funniest of the season. No longer as fresh as it had been in its debut season, Desperate Housewives ended up taking a back seat to its Sunday-night running mate, Grey’s Anatomy, and was shut out of the major Emmy awards, but its late-season resurgence was a positive sign going into the third season. With Lesley Anne Warren as Susan’s mother, Sophie; Bob Newhart as Sophie’s beau; Andrea Bowen as Susan’s steadfast daughter, Julie; Jay Harrington as Susan’s doctor; Mark Moses and Cody Kasch as Paul and Zach Young, who continue to be plagued by Felicia Tilman (Harriet Sansom Harris) about what happened with Mary Alice; Shawn Pyfrom as Bree’s rebellious son; Carol Burnett as Bree’s stepmother; and Kyle MacLachlan as an oddball dentist.
On the DVDs Creator Marc Cherry dominates the DVD features. He has a conversation with his muse, his mother; he comments on 27 minutes of his favorite scenes; and he has optional commentary on both the deleted scenes (15 minutes) and on the two unaired story lines. The longer of the story lines (11 minutes) focuses on Susan and her novel, with some nice interplay with Bob Newhart. In the shorter one (4 minutes), Lynnette tries to sneak in a phone call aboard a plane. The five lead actresses do get a chance to talk about their “juiciest bits” (about two minutes of recapping the season’s kisses, etc.), the making of an episode, costumes, and their characters compared to TV’s past housewives (with contributions from actresses such as Happy Days‘ Marion Ross and The Partridge Family’s Shirley Jones). –David Horiuchi
