3 Classics Of The Silver Screen - Vol. 6 : short review
Three films. Pot O' Gold - In this romantic musical comedy Jimmy Haskell, (Stewart), is the owner of a struggling music store whose financial predicament forces him to go into business with his uncle C.J. who can't stand modern music. C.J. is engaged in an ongoing feud with Mom McCorkle's boarding house next door because of the consistent noise emanating from the band of Horace Heidt, who reside there. When Jimmy falls for Molly McCorkle (Paulette Goddard), one of the band's singers, and takes up residence at Mom McCorkle's, his situation with both Molly and his uncle becomes precarious. Something to Sing About - Cagney stars as a Manhattan bandleader who journeys to Hollywood when he is offered a contract with a studio, but he is determined to do things his way and not theirs. A classic 1930's musical about Hollywood studio life that won an Oscar (R) for best score. Riders Of Destiny - Singin Sandy Saunders (John Wayne) is an undercover government agent who discovers, while securing water rights for ranchers, that someone is stealing their water. Bad guy, James Kincaid, controls the local water supply and plans to do in the other ranchers.
It's witch meets world, as teenage Kiki must live for a whole year in a new town by using her magical powers. But Kiki is poor with potions and second-rate at spells - instead, she sets up as a courier service, using her broomstick to deliver everything from pies to pets. At first with only her sarcastic cat Jiji for company, she soon discovers that she has more friends than she ever thought possible, in a magical parable from the creator of My Neighbor Totoro. Adapted by Hayao Miyazaki from the children's book by Eiko Kadono, this is entertainment for all the family, and one of the best loved feature-length anime in Japan and elsewhere - even outselling Akira in the United States.
A powerful complex film by the director of 'The Piano Teacher' Michael Haneke. On a Paris street an altercation flares up between two young men, an actress and a Romanian refugee. From that moment on the film follows the separate paths of each of these very different characters, exploring their backgrounds, motivations, hopes and fears of the world in which they live.
