"Grab your dreams, come out of your corner and step out swinging. The double Oscar winner The Champ is ready to take on the world! With feet planted, chin tucked and its heart unashamedly on its sleeve, this original father-son tale (remade in 1979) remains one of the all-time great tearjerkers. In an Academy Award-winning Best Actor performance, burly Wallace Beery - he of the fog-cutter voice and gruff warmth - plays the washed-up priz ..."
"Paris, 1847: Das Leben ist so prickelnd wie Champagner und so gnadenlos wie der graue Morgen danach. In Spielsalons und auf verschwenderischen Soirées geben wohlhabende Männer den Ton an - und die als Kurtisanen abgestempelten Frauen genießen das Leben in vollen Zügen. Zu ihnen gehört auch Marguerite Gautier (Greta Garbo), die Kameliendame in dieser opulenten Romanze nach der unsterblichen Geschichte von Alexandre Dumas. Garbos mystisch ..."

" It's one of the most highly anticipated entrances in movie history: Greta Garbo slinking into a sleazy waterfront bar and ordering whiskey. Well, "visky." A huge silent star, Garbo was speaking her first lines in her first talking picture, Anna Christie, and audiences were breathless with anticipation. As The New York Times put it, "The low enunciation of her initial lines, with a packed theater waiting expectantly to hear her first u ..."

"A young Rick Schroder makes his cute-as-all-get-out film debut in this 1979 tearjerker from director Franco Zeffirelli. Jon Voight plays Billy Flynn, a former champion boxer now given to drinking, gambling, and raising his son T.J. (Schroder, billed here as Ricky) as best he can. The ups and downs of the devoted codependent pair might be enough movie on their own, but soon enough Annie (Faye Dunaway) shows up and displays a strangely pr ..."

"Mary Pickford plays two roles in this film; it is a testament to her phenomenal acting talent that we really see her as two completely different characters. In the title role of Stella Maris, Pickford portrays a lovely young woman, paralyzed from childhood, whose wealthy, aristocratic parents have kept her utterly sheltered from the ugly realities of the outside world. As poor little orphan girl Unity Blake, Pickford is literally unreco ..."
"The heart of this spunky, sweetly beautiful film is lovely, feisty Mary Pickford, of the baby face, lush curls, and sturdy little body. Pickford is Amarilly Jenkins, a poor lass from San Francisco's Clothes-Line Alley, hard by Chinatown. She's proud of her heritage, a long line of Irish washerwomen: "I likes scrubbin'!" She's content in her poverty, sharing "Irish turkey" (meatloaf?) dinners with her roly-poly ma, played by Kate Price-- ..."
"In this visually intoxicating sequal to Valentino's career-defining film The Sheik, the screen's greatest lover portrays a cultured yet untamed young man who is lured into a theives' trap by a beautiful dancer, Yasmin (Vilma Banky). After escaping, he kidnaps the damsel and holds her capitve in this desert lair, gowning her in Arabian finery and threatening to unleash his violent passions upon her. Plot is almost inconsequential in The ..."
"Jean Harlow and Spencer Tracy may not come immediately to mind as a classic screen team, but they are terrific together in this crackling melodrama set on the California waterfront. Tracy is superb as Dutch Miller, a scrappy fisherman too bullheaded to notice that pretty, pugnacious little cannery worker Hattie (Harlow) is stuck on him. When Dutch and Hattie finally do get together, the sexual heat they generate is something to see. He' ..."
