 moose & squirrel in their prime, 2010-07-14
* We bought the set of DVDs for Season 1 previously. The "formulas" for the pun-filled, slapstick adventures of Rocky & Bullwinkle, Boris & Natasha, and their various "friends" (Fractured Fairy Tales, Peabody & Sherman, Dudley Doright, Aesop & son, Mr. Know-it-all), hadn't quite been worked out yet.
* By Season 3, the formulas had been worked out, and these features are all in their prime. Great stuff!

Johnny Case (Cary Grant), a free-thinking financier, has finally found the girl of his dreams ' Julia Seton (Doris Nolan), the spoiled daughter of a socially prominent millionaire ' and she's agreed to marry him! But when Johnny plans a holiday for the two to enjoy life while they are still young, his fiancée has other plans - she wants Johnny to work in her father's bank! As he tries to decide whether to follow his head or his heart, Johnny can rely on at least one Seton in his corner. She's Linda Seton (Katherine Hepburn), the down-to-earth younger sister of his soon-to-be-wife, and she likes Johnny just the way he is.
"Well, I feel like a goat being prepared for the sacrifice.', 2010-07-14
For the life of me, how come not enough people know more about this movie, a movie that is smart and sophisticated and just damn funny? Cary Grant and Katherine Hepburn have co-starred in other film ventures - SYLVIA SCARLETT, the quintessential screwball comedy BRINGING UP BABY, and THE PHILADELPHIA STORY - but, personally, I don't know that any of those other films got to me on an emotional level quite as deeply as did HOLIDAY. This 1938 picture rails humorously and subversively against the stodginess and conventions of he Establishment, but it never lets us forgot that it's also an amazingly moving romance.
Mr. Seton, master of his domain: "There's a strange new spirit at work in the world today, a spirit of revolt. I don't understand it, and I don't like it." Mr. Seton is, of course, referring to Johnny Case.
Johnny Case, a self-made low-class man of finance, has toiled away all his life, in fact from when he was ten years old. He harbors this dream of retiring at thirty to travel the world and experience life and then returning to work much later once he'd figured out just what it is he's working for. Johnny hasn't yet had a chance to confess this to his fiancee, a girl he proposed to after ten days of whirlwind courtship and a girl who didn't have the courtesy of telling him she belongs to one of the top sixty most prominent and most wealthy families in the country. Julie Seton - as played by Doris Nolan - must have come off as nicely grounded and unstuffy to win over Johnny so during the holiday in which they met. Julie's true colors don't show until much later, when it's almost too late.
The New York Setons are presided by an exacting, domineering patriarch, one of them old intimidating gents whose iron will is so palpable it's managed to choke off the exuberance and spirits of his children. As we learn, only Julie has willingly adapted to the constraints imposed by Mr. Seton and the exacting pressures of the expected social obligations. The likable Ned Seton (Lew Ayres) deals with his life of sad compromise by drowning in drink, and yet there is a wistful clarity about him. He regrets the bed he sleeps in. He's not strong enough to stand up for himself. He may be the most tragic creature in the movie.
More than anything else, Katherine Hepburn's luminous presence elevates the movie. She plays Julie's wounded, nonconforming older sister Linda. Hepburn's performance marvelously informs you on just how desperately trapped she feels by her stuffy lifestyle. In the carefree Johnny Case, Linda recognizes a kindred spirit, a fellow dreamer on his way to achieving that sense of freedom. at least, until his fiancee and her meddling father jeopardizes things. That key moments take place in the Seton nursery playroom can't be a coincidence; the symbology is implicit. When in the imposing Seton household Linda, Ned, and Johnny - and, later, Johnny's jolly (and liberal) professorial chums - are only ever comfortable in that playroom. Not too surprisingly, Julie when she enters the playroom regards it with disdain. She's accepted her plight, you see, and doesn't need to wallow in the retreat provided by childhood memories.
It's been said that only a strong leading male could stand up to Hepburn's brilliance and ferociousness as an actress, and Cary Grant is one of those rare partners who can hold his own when sharing a scene with her. There's this unpredictable chemistry between them. They easily segue from snappy banter to physical comedy to giddy, softlit romantic moments. Peep that intimate New Year's Eve sequence as Grant and Hepburn linger by the window, and tell me you don't get palpitations. Compared to Hepburn, Doris Nolan fades in the background. It seems ridiculous now that, around that period, Katherine Hepburn had been hailed as "box office poison" by the Independent Theater Owners Association. Director George Cukor had to fight tooth and nail to get her as his female lead. Not that anyone had any doubts as to which actors were going to pair up by closing credits, but the death knell to Johnny and Julie's romantic interlude is officially rung when Julia tells Johnny: "There's no such thrill in the world as making money."
Freedom from "the excitement of business" (another of Julie's exhortations) is embodied in a back flip-flop, and Cary Grant, with stage gymnastics under his belt, conducts several lively somersaults. He even teaches Hepburn a tumbling maneuver and their execution of it is one of the many delightful highlights. HOLIDAY isn't as screwball as people would make it out to be. There's some great wacky comedy here and some hugely entertaining lines, but there's also a bittersweet element and serious discussions about class consciousness and holding on to your true self and what it means to be in love and how very hard it is to break free of the mold. And then Cary Grant falls arse over face...

A sex farce very loosely based on "Sex and the Single Girl" by Helen Gurley Brown
A reminder of more innocent times..., 2010-07-02
This is an example of a delightful comedy that hearkens back to a time when the world seemed much more innocent than it is today. The book takes its title from the Helen Gurley Brown opus of the same name. In typical sixties fashion, there is nothing sexually lurid suggested in the movie. The movie teases rather than gratuitously depicts, suggests but does not lay bare, beckons its viewers but does not slam the door behind them.
The stars shine equally brightly in this one. Tony Curtis, ever suave and sophisticated, tempers his delivery with all the coyness of the office boy's slap. Natalie Wood, breathtakingly beautiful and all so sincere, acts as the perfect foil to Curtis. She is so innocent you cannot help but want to believe everything that she says.When she bats her eyes and pleads for forgiveness you know that both Curtis and the viewer cannot help but cave in to her.
The other principles are universally charming. Edward Everett Horton, Lauren Bacall, along with Mel Ferrer are all three the epitome of sixties cosmopolitan. The major surprise, though, is Henry Fonda. His deadpan delivery is right on, and he steals every scene he's in.
Sure, it's mostly a light confection, but this tasty treat goes down easily. There are even a few (dare I say it?)brilliantly staged scenes. For example, when Curtis is in the process of being interviewed by Wood, he needs to fabricate a description of his sex life as he goes along during the questioning. He does so quite skillfully, incorporating the various psychological states depicted by the artful renderings framed on the office walls, enabling him to finally state the nature of his problem and the reason for his visit. He's ashamed that he's "sexually inadequate". Natalie rejoices after Tony's admission, she knows she can help him with THAT problem!
The viewer of this movie is reminded that laughs do not necessarily have to be generated by obscenity or slapstick. There is an ever present gentle humor running throughout the movie that enlists witty dialogue and clever stagings. The movies is extremely sixties in its look, and the sixties never looked so good as they do in this film!

Funnier than ever, 2010-07-04
My dad used to watch this cartoon with me when I was a kid, but he always laughed at the parts that were not funny! Now I know how much of this cartoon was written with the parents in mind. If you like puns and wordplays, then this is definitely for you.

You'll Love The Way Fred and Ginger Look Tonight in the 5-film, 5-Disc Astaire and Rogers Collection Volume One, including the highly acclaimed Top Hat and Swing Time.
The other 5 star reviews were right, 2010-05-24
The other reviews, which gave this 5 stars, are right. The transfers are great and the special features go above and beyond what I expected. Enough said. For a follow up or before seeing these movies, I would recommend reading a biography of Fred Astaire. I found, "The Man, The Dancer: The Life of Fred Astaire" by Bob Thomas and Fred Astaire, to be very good. A volume with more meat is, "Puttin' On the Ritz: Fred Astaire and the Fine Art of Panache", A Biography by Peter J. Levinson, is also good (according to my hubby). I haven't gotten to a Ginger Rogers biography/autobiography yet, but they say her autobiography, "Ginger: My Story" by Ginger Rogers, is good. Fred Astaire and Ginger Rogers were amazing people and these movies show that, but don't stop with just these movies, pick up a book about them and be sure to see their other movies, together and with other co-stars.

Double entendre is guaranteed to strike your funny bone, 2010-04-03
I grew up on these presentations and am still growing up on them. They are no more children's stories as "Alice in Wonderland" is. What child knows of the Ruby Yacht of Omar Khayyam? Or Apple Pandowdy. Many other references' are over ones head as a child but still just as much fun to watch.
The show follows a simple formula that starts with a series of cliffhangers starring Rocky and Bullwinkle. You are required not to miss any of the installments to keep track of what is going on. Next in the formula, "Fractured Fairy Tales" I am afraid that this is where I acquired my classical background. Many of the fairy tales have alternate endings. The narrator of the tales is Edward Everett Horton (Mr. Witherspoon in "Arsenic and Old Lace.") then we come to "Bullwinkle's Poetry Corner" or "Mr. Know-it-All" where he meets with many slapstick situations. Again, this is where I picked up my poetic background. Then there is the hat trick (wrong hat), "Peabody's Improbable Histories", "Dudley Do-Right", or "Aesop's and Son." Wrapped all up in 22 minutes with a concluding cliffhanger.
There are more characters in the shows than I can mention in the review but they add to the viewers' enjoyment yet Gidney and Cloyd come to mind.

Perhaps the best remembered of the 10 Astaire/Rogers musicals, Top Hat has it all: Art Deco elegance, a wonderfully addled storyline, loopy support from skilled farceurs and the incomparable chemistry of the two leads cheek-to-cheeking to Irving Berlin's finest film score. It's a wake-up call for romance when Fred's exuberant No Strings dance in his hotel suite disturbs the sleeping beauty (Ginger) in the room below. They meet cute, Fred decides he'd like a few strings (preferably a tied knot) after all and love beckons until Ginger mistakenly gets the idea that Fred is a married playboy. But mistakes can be wonderfully, wackily resolved. Among the highlights: Fred mows...
Top Hat Review, 2010-04-18
To see these two people dance is just great. It really opened my eyes into another area of life. We had 3 generations watching at one time, so that tells me it is timeless. Just a great, innocent, all around movie. Poetry in motion.
