Quote: "Bogie as Queeg for the most part never rants and raves or descends into histrionics, making more careful acting choices that bring out his character's deteriorating mental condition while allowing a neutral observer some room for doubt about whether he actually is nuts."

Quote: "This disc is a collection of Tim Conway's classic standup and sketch comedy bits from the 1960s. Many of them feature Conway as his recurring character Dag Hereford, an utterly clueless jack-of-all-trades. Hereford shows up as the warden of a prison that works on the honor system, the world's worst jockey, and quite possibly the word's squarest hippie, among other unlikely incarnations."

Quote: "The real gem on this disc is labeled as 'Groucho Marx Bonus Footage.' In reality, it is another television appearance by Groucho, this time a 1964 appearance as guest host of The Hollywood Palace. It's amazing what a difference five years can make; in this earlier footage Groucho is still in fine form, his comic timing and penchant for puns and other witticisms all still impeccable."

Quote: "The filmmakers took respected material from the printed page and made respectable movies out of it; Warners has similarly taken their work and created a more than respectable DVD package."

Quote: "They were a wisecracking, practical-joking bunch of guys that Sports Illustrated labeled the 'Hogan's Heroes' of baseball -- great fun in the dugout or the clubhouse to be sure, but not the kind of superstars that win pennants and titles."

Quote: "As enjoyable as Shakespeare's original tale of political intrigue and conflicting loyalties is, there is not much to like about this 1970 incarnation, as a film or (especially) as a DVD."

Quote: "Heston, just beginning a film career, appeared in an extremely low-budget independent production of Julius Caesar, playing the same Marc Antony role that he would later reprise in the 1970 version. Watching this film, it is not hard to see how Heston went on to become famous; even in this ancient and somewhat amateurish film, his rugged looks and commanding presence blow any of his co-stars off the screen."

Quote: "The truth is, some evils, some horrors, deserve to remain mysterious, and trying to make them more human or understandable simply ruins their mystique."

Quote: "The overall plot could have led to a better movie than this, but it is poorly executed, full of inexplicable character action (such as why young Jim keeps double-crossing Long John and then making up with him again) and, oh my, that 'comic' romantic subplot."

Quote: "While much of the film is Japan by way of Jane Austen, the final confrontation between Munezo and Hazama incorporates a fine bit of swordplay. It is appropriately thrilling while also being one of the more realistic swordfights captured on film."
