"Like the first Treasures from the American Film Archives produced by the National Film Preservation Foundation, MORE TREASURES OF AMERICAN FILM ARCHIVES takes as its starting point the preservation work of our nation's film archives. More Treasures covers the years from 1894 through 1931, when the motion pictures from a peepshow curio to the nation's fourth largest industry. This is the period from which fewest American Films survive. F ..."
"Very good cloth copy in a like dust-wrapper. Particularly and surprisingly well-preserved; tight, bright, clean and especially sharp-cornered. Literally as new. ; 256 pages; Edited by Richard J. Anobile. A volume from The Film Classics Library. Presents the most accurate and complete reconstruction of a film in book form."
"The last masterwork by Ernst Lubitsch--whose other gems include Trouble in Paradise, Lady Windermere's Fan, Ninotchka, and The Shop Around the Corner--Heaven Can Wait was nominated for best picture and director Oscars in its day but largely neglected thereafter. Partly it's a matter of no one expecting a 1943 Fox movie featuring Don Ameche, the star of so many bland Technicolor musicals at that studio, to be a comedy of rare loveliness. ..."
"There are plenty of belly laughs in The Mel Brooks Collection, an eight-disc set of most of the director-writer-actor's best-known films. Four of them--Silent Movie, High Anxiety, To Be or Not to Be, and Robin Hood: Men with Tights--are making their debut on DVD, while a fifth, The Twelve Chairs, was briefly available as a non-anamorphic DVD from Image Entertainment (all the DVDs in this set are anamorphically enhanced for widescreen ..."
"Ninotchka (DVD)Garbo Talks! proclaimed ads when silent star Greta Garbo debuted in talkies. Nine years and 12 classic screen dramas later, the gifted movie legend was ready for another change. Garbo Laughs! cheered the publicity for her first comedy, a frothy tale of a dour Russian envoy sublimating her womanhood for Soviet brotherhood until she falls for a suave Parisian man-about-town (Melvyn Douglas). Working from a cleverly barbed s ..."
"Ebenso wie Roberto Benigni für seine Holocaust-Komödie Das Leben ist schön 1998 nicht nur Lob einheimste, wurde auch Ernst Lubitsch 1942 wegen seiner Kriegs-Groteske Sein oder Nichtsein kritisiert. Mitten im Krieg war es den Menschen nicht danach, über die Bedrohung durch die Deutschen zu lachen. Wie Chaplin mit Der große Diktator wurde auch Lubitschs Film erst nach dem Krieg als große Komödie entdeckt. Ein Film, der nie entstanden wäre ..."
"Ärger im Paradies ist eine US-amerikanische Komödie von Regisseur-Legende und Oscar-Preisträger Ernst Lubitsch (1892-1947). Der Film aus dem Jahr 1932 war der Lieblingsfilm des Regisseurs und ist exemplarisch für den so genannten Lubitsch Touch . Damit gelang es ihm, anzügliche Situationen und sexuelle Anspielungen taktvoll und mit klugem Witz weitgehend unbehelligt auf die Leinwand zu bringen. Das Liebes- und Diebespaar Gaston (Herbe ..."

"Ah, those fun-loving Communists! In Ninotchka three Soviets make their way to Paris to sell off imperial jewels to raise money to buy tractors for the USSR. When Grand Duchess Swana (Ina Claire), former owner of the jewels, discovers what's happening, she deploys her lover Leon (Melvyn Douglas) to recover her gems. He starts a court proceeding while seducing the three bumbling Soviets with the luxuries of capitalistic life. The delay of ..."
"Do not buy this DVD edition. Neither movie was digitally remastered as advertised, nor is the advertised bonus material on the DVD. The films look terrible, old prints dumped straight to DVD. The sound is equally bad. I am refering to the "Triton Video" edition that contains both Beat the Devil and That Uncertain Feeling. These are great movies that deserve better than than this poor quality DVD."

"Ernst Lubitsch's last musical teamed him with his two favorite performers, Maurice Chevalier and Jeanette MacDonald. It proved to be his last picture with either of the stars. Working with screenwriter Samson Raphaelson, he transformed the operetta that Erich von Stroheim had made in 1925 as a lavish silent melodrama into a frothy farce with wit, understatement, and a modicum of sexual innuendo. Chevalier stars as Danilo, the playboy ca ..."
