VHS Movie Reviews of Forsaking All Others (1934) [VHS]
Movie Review: Perfect
Summary: 5 Stars
This is exactly what I was looking for -- Was in excellent condition -- Very Fast Shipping --- Thank You !Movie Review: Rarely does Ms. Crawford make a bad picture
Summary: 5 Stars
Rarely does Ms. Crawford make a bad picture in the 30's and this movie is no exception. In fact, "Forsaking All Others" was made during Joan's reign as box-office queen at MGM. This is one of the best films she ever made because her true abilities really shine. She plays a very beautiful socialite that falls for a man only to find out that he's really a cad. By the end of this classic "talkie" she finds out that the man of her dreams was always in her life. I love watching this movie because I like to pretend that the real world is really like this. If you're new to Joan Crawford films I strongly recommend this movie, as well as "Sadie McKee" another movie she made in 1934.
Movie Review: Clark Gable Versus Robert Montgomery
Summary: 4 Stars
Forsaking All Others is Joan Crawford and Clark Gable's sixth film appearance together and while the plot is fairly formula stuff, Gable and Crawford, as usual, spark together. Gable plays Jeff Williams, who is returning to New York from Madrid for the express purpose of confessing his lifelong love to Mary Clay, played by Crawford. Problem is that Mary has been in love since childhood with Dillon Todd, played by Robert Montgomery. Jeff has returned home on the eve of their wedding and upon hearing the "good" news, puts on a cheery face, spreads well wishes and prepares to walk Mary down the aisle. (Talk about selfless!) The night before the wedding, Dil carries the bachelor party festivities a bit too far and ends up marrying his former flame, Connie, who is every bit as hard as Mary is sweet. It falls to Jeff to inform Mary, while dressed in her bridal gown, awaiting Dil's arrival at the church. Mary goes on an extended sabbatical and returns to find that Dil is not happy in his marriage to Connie and is anxious to woo her back to his side, new wife nonwithstanding. After many mishaps, Connie steps out of the picture, Dil and Mary's wedding is back on and Jeff finally declares his love for Mary. Is there any question as to who she will choose? Can anyone top Gable?
Watch for Billie Burke as Mary's Aunt Paula, Rosalind Russell as friend Eleanor and Charles Butterworth as Jeff's pal Shemp.
A fun and entertaining 1930s romp.
Movie Review: Delightful romantic comedy
Summary: 5 Stars
Jeff (Clark Gable), returns home from Europe intending to propose to Mary (Joan Crawford), who he's loved all his life, but finds she's about to marry Dil (Dil, what kind of name is Dil? Robert Montgomery). Then Dil jilts her the night before their wedding and marries a former love. "You never got to give me away" Mary tells Jeff "That's all right with me" he says, but she still doesn't get it. She starts seeing Dil again on the sly, much to Jeff's disgust, but after a lot of misunderstandings and mishaps she finally realises that she really loves - well, I don't suppose it will come as a surprise to you. This could have been a melodrama, but instead is a very funny comedy, the stars banter cheerfully among themselves even in the midst of passion. Charles Butterworth is utterly delightful as Jeff's bemused friend Shep, and Bille Burke is her usual delicious dithery character as Mary's long-suffering friend. A joy to watch.Movie Review: "I can start a fire by rubbing two Boy Scouts together."
Summary: 5 Stars
This is one of those movies I really wish they would restore (the picture quality is not the best) and release on DVD. I've seen it many times and never get tired of it. Joan Crawford, Clark Gable and Robert Montgomery are all delightful in a love triangle that leads Crawford from Montgomery (who leaves her at the altar, then tries to get her back) to Gable, with many laughs along the way. Billie Burke, Charles Butterworth, and Rosalind Russell also contribute to the hilarity with their share of zingers in smaller roles.
