Yes, "The Happiest Millionaire" was Walt Disney's last film. Yes, it
was obviously made to top "Mary Poppins" and yes, like many
late-sixties musicals, it flopped at the box office. But the fact
remains that it is a glowing, beautifully made musical (with songs by
the Sherman Brothers who were responsible for "Poppins") and it never
got the recognition it truly deserved. Th...

I was very pleased to see that Disney finally released this movie on
DVD. I have been wanting to see it for a long time, but not only
because it was another Disney film with Fred MacMurray. Rather, I am a
Scout Leader, and can relate to many of the things in the picture, and
that made it a special delight for me.This was Kurt Russell's first Disney picture. He is wonderful here as<...

By the time Son of Flubber was released by Walt Disney in 1963, Fred
MacMurray was firmly established in the third phase of his career as
star of G-rated Disney films and television situation comedies.
MacMurray was able to do this because of a unique clause he had written
into his contract with CBS which produced the My Three Sons show that
he starred in for a dozen or so year...

It has been years since I have seen this movie! I am glad to see that
it is still fun and my girls really enjoyed (4 & 6). What was kinda
neat was that the Alonzo Hawk character also returns in Herbie Rides
Again (same actor, same personality). Small coincidence, because the
movie was also directed by Robert Stevenson.So, if you are looking for a film that will not offend, and offe...

Ohhh - after my 4th or 5th viewing, I think this may be one of the most
remarkable blends of comedy and drama to have ever been filmed - THE
APARTMENT - in subtle ways - rises well above the conventions of any
genre. It was my introduction to the great Billy Wilder, and my
fondness for Jack Lemmon (a remarkable and sorely missed actor) begins
here as well.*SOME SPOILERS* The co...

"The Shaggy Dog" is a delightful live-action comedy, the first of many to
emerge from the Walt Disney Studios during the late 50s - through the
early
80s. Although firmly rooted in the late 1950s the film has many charms,
mosty noticeably its innocence, pure situation comedy and perfect pitch
performances by a cast of film veterans. Is the film a classic - no. Is
it

This is one of the best films of all time, not necessarily because of its
story but because of the acting, direction, cinematography, lighting, and
just the way that the story itself was told. At the time the film was
released, the idea of revealing who the killer was in the opening scene was
virtually unheard of, but it ended up being very effective because it
allowed the audi...

takes him home. Though Liza lives well, she owes a fortune to the IRS

The real "stars" of this movie are the actual aircraft the US Navy had
in 1940, both old and new. Those aircraft are all in their original
markings and complicated paint schemes, during the time the Navy was
converting from colorful to subdued colors. Every color was part of a
complicated plan to identify each aircrafts place in squadron
formations allowing quick identification...

...then you ought to rent this movie. She is just adorable, and
charming beyond belief, as avowed gold-digger Regi Allen. All the
supporting players here are wonderful. However, male lead Fred
MacMurray comes off -- at least to me -- as a very cold fish. His
endless "humorous" comments have an angry undercurrent, and the script,
while admitting the guy is very shallow (shallow,...
