| 1. Gilbert & Sullivan - The Mikado, The Pirates of Penzance, Iolanthe [VHS] | 
| Starring: Gidon Saks, Henry Ingram, Eric Donkin, Richard McMillan, Allen Stewart-Coates
Directed By: Norman Campbell
February 08, 2000
Over thirty years ago I saw the D'Oyly Carte company perform "The Mikado" in London. Sadly, the production was old and tired and lifeless and more suited to a dusty old museum attic than the stage. The D'Oyly Carte company died soon thereafter.
A few years later I saw the Stratford Festival productions of "The Mikado" and "Pirates" recorded here. They were wonderful, and had me on... more

Directed By: Jon Amiel
July 07, 2000
Though not for all tastes, this six-part BBC series represents an historic occasion when television rises above its creative abyss to produce a work of seminal artistry. Written by Dennis Potter, "The Singing Detective" (1986) is one of the most fascinating and innovative murder-mysteries ever developed. For 392 minutes, viewers are taken on a multi-layered journey through musical fantasy and harrowing... more

| | 3. Wagner - Der Ring Des Nibelungen / Levine, Behrens, Jerusalem, Metropolitan Opera [VHS] | 
| Starring: Wagner, Levine, Met
March 10, 1992
Visually, as close to a production that Wagner might have envisioned available among the current releases.
Aurally, it gets by because of the experience of the leading ladies. The males also fall somewhat short of ideal but as a whole, it succeeds. 'Rheingold' is the standout.

| Starring: Judy Garland, Fred Astaire, Margaret O'Brien, Ray Bolger, Peter Lawford
Directed By: Charles Walters, George Sidney, Vincente Minnelli
November 02, 1992
I read through some of the negative reviews and think there are some that take this movie way too seriously. It's suppose to be a fun musical and IMO it is!
Great singing, dancing, and a cute story line that has several funny moments. It's not suppose to be a documentary about the life of the Harvey Girls, it's suppose to be for fun. It's not trying to make any statements about... more

Directed By: Blake Edwards, George Cukor, William Wyler
April 10, 2001
I never write review here but I had to point something out. I am a fan of Audrey Hepburn but there are many reasons why I think that "Breakfast at Tiffany's" was a poor movie. Some of which is that a bad story line is made beautiful by use of the perfect music, perfect lighting, perfect camera filters, perfect actors, etc. Hollywood has perfected the art of emotion manipulation and this movie would... more
