VHS Movie Reviews of Band of Angels [VHS]
Movie Review: Band of Angels
Summary: 5 Stars
I received the product in a timely fashion. It was in great condition and I'm very pleased with the sevice.
Movie Review: Rhett Butler full grown
Summary: 4 Stars
I like this film for 4 different reasons. I very much like the type of man that Clark Gable played and I think became. This is a tale of redemption, an interracial love story, and as one review wrote perhaps the clearest protrayal of blacks in the US of A that has been seen on film.
This shows a former sea captain, a former slaver, a very wealthy adult living in New Orleans at the outbreak of the War Between The States Who for some reason pays a fortune for a young mulatto girl off of the slave block. Take her home, and does not have sex with her. This is a story of a gentleman who is not a pussy.
This movie shows that once Clark Gable played a part, that part would always be his whether it is in a film or a book.

Movie Review: BAND OF ANGELS, Clark Gable
Summary: 5 Stars
If you are a fan of Clark Gable, Gone With the Wind, and the Civil War, you will love this movie. He is a wealthy plantation owner, with slaves ... but is extremely kind to them and protects them. Slavery was obviously a cruel practice, but fortunately, many, many plantation owners were kind to them, feeding and clothing them. Gable stands up to the Carpet Baggers after the War too. A really good movie with action and romance.
Summary of Band of Angels [VHS]
Gone With The Wind star Clark Gable flexes his muscular charms in another Civil War-era movie about the torrid romance between a plantation owner and a half-caste beauty. Year: 1957 Director: Raoul Walsh Starring: Clark Gable, Yvonne De Carlo, Sidney PoitierSidney Poitier, in the beginning of his career, fires up the screen in the Civil-War-era bodice-ripper Band of Angels. The movie follows Amantha Starr (Yvonne De Carlo, later on The Munsters), a Southern belle whose fortunes fall when her father dies and family secrets come to light. She ends up under the protection of Hamish Bond (Clark Gable, close to the end of his long, remarkable career and still radiating an easy, charismatic masculinity), a plantation owner with secrets of his own. For much of the movie, slavery and the Civil War are just a colorful backdrop for a turgid romance--but just when you're ready to write the movie off, a scene unexpectedly digs into something more emotionally and politically complex. Poitier plays Bond's plantation foreman; every time he appears, Band of Angels turns into something fierce and promising. That promise never fully takes hold--Clark Gable is the movie's hero, not Poitier--but those crackling scenes (combined with a surprisingly sexual frankness in a 1957 feature) make Band of Angels more than just an embarrassing collection of manly swaggers, flashing eyes, and lugubrious spirituals. --Bret Fetzer
