The Whales of August

"What a wonderful movie. I wish they would make it in a DVD. Fivetalented veterans of the silver (and I do mean 'silver') screenall together in a beautiful story of golden ages and golden memories. Bette Davis, Lillian Gish, Ann Sothern, Vincent Priceand Harry Carey Jr. are a joy to watch. I've watched this filmso many times I think I know all the lines, but I never tire of it. Five stars aren't enough to rate such stellar performances."

Follow Me, Boys!

"I remember the tune from when i saw it as a kid in the late 60s, and have hoped to see it again ever since. What a breath of fresh air compared to the tripe that disney puts out today. Films like these remind us of america's golden age. Wonderful performances by all, uplifting singing on the trail, and a heart-rending, happy ending make this film a must have in the libraries of parents who want wholesome entertainment for their kids. I wonder why more of the 1960's disney movies have not come out on dvd. As a parent, i dont have to be woried about foul language ,sexual inuendos, or even 'attitudes' that my kids will see glorified when we watch films like these. I gave my copy to a newly-minted eagle scout, and will order another for my family..."

Adventures of Huckleberry Finn

"Content of this film is better than any other Huck Finn version. Aside from just a few scenes, the film is really true to the original text novel. The only thing that is a pain is that the dvd has no chapter or scene separations. Showing it to high school classes is difficult due to the constant rewinding and fast forwarding to find where we left off."

The Whales of August

"When I watched this as a young man of 20 I fell in love with it. It is not an action film. It is a beautiful story of deep characters as they find themselves having become old. It is a story of reclaiming yourself, even at the end of your days.It is one of the last films of Bette Davis and Vincent Price. They gave magnificent performances that I still treasure. I have waited a long time for this to come on DVD!! One of my favorite quotes is from Bette Davis. She was told by her sister that 'Memories fade with time.' Bette, portraying her blind sister, proudly proclaims in her best Bette Davisness - 'That has not been my experience!'"

Adventures of Huckleberry Finn

"This is by far the best version of Huckleberry Finn. I've tried for the past 5 months to find this in DVD format in it's 214 minute glory, and finally have found it from Monterey Media. This version holds true to the book in it's unedited version and surpasses any other Huck Finn version in existance. I wish that the now defunct American Playhouse would have made Tom Sawyer to compliment this video. Maybe one day someone will."

The Whales of August

"As you can see from the earlier reviews, this movie is well-loved. This is the first time since its release in 1987 it can be seen in its original aspect ratio. This DVD also brings alive the colors of the Maine island where these actors gave their final film performances. The print does suffer from small imperfections but are not very noticable. Sound is an unenhanced stereo. The disc offers no extras other than chapter selection. It is too bad a little more effort was not put into a film that is significant to the filmographies of the stars. Overall, if you have seen this movie on cable and enjoyed the fine acting you will be impressed with the visual improvements this DVD brings."
