All About Eve (1950)
Well done and worth the effort.
This is a fine classic film, and despite it's age is indeed ageless. The stars are impressive and include Bette Davis as well as Anne Baxter. Even Marilyn Monroe has a small role in this film which must be one of her earliest appearances in cinema. There is an acting award involved in the beginning of the film, and indeed both these actresses received accolades for the movie. One should pay close attention to the theme. The direction is outstanding, and the acting is superb. No one can argue with the success of the performers in this film, and the DVD is a clearly superior one. It should be in our treasure chest of great films.I recommend it highly. Don't miss the chance to see this classic. However, one cannot consider it the greatest in our collections.
A Night in Casablanca (1946)
Slapstick and lots of it.
"A Night in Casablanca" is filled with the usual Marx Brother's energy and then some. It is their slapstick that is uniquely displayed by these masters of the craft. Even though this particular comedy is not their best, it is still worth an evening of fun. It takes place in Casablanca, and the name alone conjures up the Bogart film. There is a series of murders of prior hotel managers. The plot thickens from there. All fans of the comedy of the Marx Brothers should view this film in addition to their entire collection. Without a doubt it is not to be missed. Harpo is especially funny in his typical antics. Groucho is a quick and witty as ever. It gets a very good rating from me.
