Greed in the SunGenre: Comedies Release Date: 10/30/2012 Rating NR Production Year: 1963 Run Time: 125 mins Released By: Olive Films Cast: Jean-Paul Belmondo, Lino Ventura, Andrea Parisy, Reginald Kernan, Bernard Blier Before GREED IN THE SUN was released to the States by way of MGM, this French/Italian co-production had made the European rounds under the titles 100,000 DOLLARS AU SOLEIL and CENTOMILIA DOLLARE AL SOL. As any good linguist can gather, the catalyst for this action melodrama is 100,000 dollars---actually 100,000 dollars worth of guns and ammunition, unknowingly transported to African insurrectionists by truck driver Reginald Kernan. Fellow trucker Jean-Paul Belmondo teams with his girlfriend Andrea Parisy to hijack the shipment. Gert Frobe, head of the trucking company, offers Kernan a large reward for the return of the truck and its contents. … more less -
How to Marry a MillionaireGenre: Comedies Release Date: 07/31/2012 Rating NR Production Year: 1953 Run Time: 105 mins Released By: 20th Century Fox Home Entertainment Cast: Marilyn Monroe, Betty Grable, Lauren Bacall, William Powell, Cameron Mitchell Three screen goddesses--Betty Grable, Lauren Bacall, and Marilyn Monroe--star as golddigging models blessed with fabulous looks but limited brain power. The three blondes pool their resources and conspire to nab millionaire husbands, renting an expensive penthouse to lure in their likely prey. But with Rory Calhoun, Cameron Mitchell, David Wayne, Fred Clark, Alex D'Arcy, and William Powell playing the desired millionaires, the gals are pushed to the end of their wits as they try to decide whom to wed. Basing his work on two successful stage plays, famed producer and screenwriter Nunnally Johnson's dialogue is fabulous, and scenic views of Manhatten exploit the CinemaScope widescreen aesthetic. Director Jean Negulesco keeps the antics of the remarkable ensemble cast hyped to an outrageous level, which combines perfectly with both the script and the music to create exceptionally entertaining and classic camp. This film is a must-see for fans of Marilyn Monroe, who again asserts the brilliance of her comedic timing as the extremely myopic Pola, a woman who refuses to wear glasses because she fears that they ruin her looks. … more less -
IndiscreetGenre: Comedies Release Date: 01/22/2013 Rating NR Production Year: 1958 Run Time: 100 mins Released By: Olive Films Cast: Cary Grant, Ingrid Bergman, Phyllis Calvert, Cecil Parker, David Kossoff Wealthy American Philip (Cary Grant) and famous actress Anne (Ingrid Bergman) meet just as Anne insists that all the best men have already been taken. Though Philip is taken, Anne can't resist their instant attraction and electricity. But the rather big, and unexpected, secret Philip hides from his new love threatens to spoil everything. When they teamed up again in INDISCREET--more than a decade after their romance in Hitchcock's NOTORIOUS--Grant and Bergman were no longer shiny-bright young stars. (Grant had been in films for 30 years and a screen idol for 20, while Bergman had made her name in CASABLANCA 15 years earlier.) But Grant's salt-and-pepper hair and Bergman's knowing eyes give their turbulent relationship the weight, subtlety, and wisdom a younger couple couldn't provide. Aided by director Stanley Donen's stylish direction and knowledge of what raises a mundane romance to the level of classic, Bergman and Grant make INDISCREET an intelligent, and enjoyable, tale about the bumpy road of love. … more less -

Seven Year Itch, TheGenre: Comedies Release Date: 07/31/2012 Rating NR Production Year: 1955 Run Time: 110 mins Released By: 20th Century Fox Home Entertainment Cast: Marilyn Monroe, Tom Ewell, Sonny Tufts, Evelyn Keyes, Robert Strauss It's possible that the legendary scene in which Marilyn Monroe's dress is blown skyward while she stands on a subway grating now dwarfs Billy Wilder's adaptation of George Axelrod's hit stage comedy in the same way that the 50-foot billboard of the scene bestrode Times Square in 1955. It stars Tom Ewell as Richard Sherman, a middle-aged book publisher who remains in Manhattan while his wife and son go off to the country on vacation. Once alone, he's consumed with sexual fantasies about various women from his past as well as the eye-popping model/actress (Marilyn Monroe), who's just moved into the apartment above. Hoping for some action, he invites his neighbor to dinner, but the combination of his amusingly nervous bumbling and her belief in the innocence of his intentions guarantees that nothing happens. Despite his guiltlessness, he begins to imagine that his fantasies are being broadcast nationwide, with his wife part of an eager audience. In his parody of film romance, Wilder hilariously skewers several, including FROM HERE TO ETERNITY and his particular bête noire BRIEF ENCOUNTER, even having the hapless businessman fantasize about the latter's theme as an aphrodisiac. Although censors excised the play's raison d'être of adultery, Ewell brilliantly manages the tricky feat of making a man seem risibly guilty despite having done nothing, and Monroe as the iconic 'girl' deftly parodies her screen image. … more less -

Who's Minding the Store?Genre: Comedies Release Date: 03/27/2012 Rating NR Production Year: 1963 Run Time: 90 mins Released By: Olive Films Cast: Jerry Lewis, Jill St. John, Ray Walston, Agnes Moorehead, John McGiver In this classic Jerry Lewis comedy, Lewis plays Norman Phiffier, a rather awkward young man who doesn't have much money, but has inspired love in a beautiful young girl named Barbara (St. John). The two fall in love quickly, and Barbara hesitates to tell Norman that she is from a very rich family, not wanting to make him uncomfortable. When Barbara tells her mother (Moorehead) that she intends to marry Norman, her mother instantly conceives a plan to stop the marriage; she offers Norman a job in the family department store and gives him difficult and degrading tasks, hoping to humiliate him in front of Barbara. This setup gives Lewis room to perform some truly amazing physical comedy, as he unwittingly frustrates the mother's attempt to sabotage the couple's marriage plans. One of Lewis's best. … more less
