Posts from Senta in thread „Without Reservations (1946)“

    Hi Falc,
    Thank you for the information. I'm planning to buy the whole collection - two of the titels I never seen (Trouble along the Way and Reunion in France), others I have mostly on VHS.
    May be I shall like Reunion in France too?

    First, let me start off by saying I have always disliked this film. The plot is beyond juvenile and the lead actors were much too old to be playing the poorly written characters they were portraying in the story.


    Seeing as I just received the new Warner box set, and that this film was included, I decided to see if time away from it had somehow made it a better movie. And do you know what I found...it's still a turkey! You know a movie is bad, when you keep checking the time to see how much longer it'll be before it ends. Claudette Colbert's every line delivery has a wine to it, that just gets under your skin (ooooohhhhhhh, Russssttttttty). And when was the last time an author of a book was treated like Queen Elizabeth. The film just goes on-and-on-and-on-and-on, and nothing ever happens.


    This one is so bad, I can't ever imagine another time when I'll look thru all my Duke DVDs, and want to watch this one again.


    Hi Falc,
    That you totally dislike this movie I understand quite well - my opinion is totally opposite, so it is nothing to descuss. What interests me - is DVD version is worth buying (I have this movie at VHS) and are there any features in this collection?

    Hi all,
    It seems there was opposite opinions about this movie. I think it is more womans movie. And it is funny to see how literary minded woman imagine the ideal man to herself and when meet the one - Duke of course and find some things very different. I like many lines from the movie, but I had it on VHS (without subtitels), so afraid to post it to avoid mistakes.

    Hi Keith,
    you got these photos from IMDB or from your own sources. I looked throw some others and found that the photo from Sands of Iwo Jima is also very good, with some other goes the covers of DVD and VHS boxes. May be some members could add to the films topics some exellent photos if they have them? Just a suggestion.
    Regards,
    Vera :rolleyes:
