Duel at Diablo (1965) Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)One of the most unusual westerns ever filmed, Duel at Diablo deals with a number of clicheish situations in a refreshing, fascinating manner. More engrossing than entertaining, the intense emotion and delicately intertwined subplots are almost hypnotically effective in holding the viewer's attention. James Garner, Sidney Poitier and Dennis Weaver headline an excellent cast. Beautiful locations and an eerie soundtrack add to the overall power of the production. This film is probably too violent for many young viewers, but will prove a most satisfying experience for western buffs who prefer gritty realism to the more common shlocky horse operas. Duel at Diablo will never be found in a listing of top westerns, but it belongs there. In fact, it holds its own in any movie library, regardless of genre.

Chitty Chitty Bang Bang (Special Edition) (1968) Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)This is one of the last big budget fantasy musicals before these films became just too expensive to produce. But Dick Van Dyke was at his zenith here and Sally Ann Howes was marvelous as well. Note that Ian Fleming wrote the original story and as a tribute there were two Bond actors in the cast. Gert Frobe as the King and Desmond Llewyn as Mr. Coggin. But I was very dissappointed to see this DVD released in the Pan and Scan format. I really don't understand why MGM/UA remastered the film in the THX process and used a clean beautiful video transfer and doesn't present the film in its original widescreen format. At one-third of the film is missing and its really difficult to watch this now considering I had owned the widescreen laserdisc of this film.

Ladies and gentlemen, boys and girls start your engines. You're about to take an incredible ride with one of the most wonderful family films of all time! Now celebrating its 30th anniversary, Chitty Chitty Bang Bang has never looked or sounded better. Dick Van Dyke stars as eccentric inventor Caractacus Potts, who creates an extraordinary car called Chitty Chitty Bang Bang. It not only drives but also flies and floats as it leads him, his two children and his beautiful lady friend, Truly Scrumptious (Sally Ann Howes), into a magical world of pirates, castles and endless adventure.

Jeremy Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I watched this movie as a kid when it came out and I've probably seen it about a dozen times. But it still manages to hit me in the heart.
Great acting and great camera work (using mostly available light) make you enter the hearts of the characters. "A film with nothing going for it but the people who love it" says the original trailer from 1973 - and that's true. It's a very simple film but in its simplicity so tender and close that you will never forget the story. It's all about love. It doesn't matter that the material is grainy and some scenes slightly out of focus. It makes you be there with the characters and invites you to take part in their story. No wonder it was the public's choice at the Cannes Film Festival of that year. A keeper!
