Two for one!.......2007-06-16

OK, so maybe quality of the prints used isn't too crash hot but you are getting two great films for the price of one so you can't really complain. I had already seen Perils of Pauline on video and wanted to see the Stork Club. A good double to give to your mum or anyone who likes 1940s musicials (if they don't already have them.)

An insufficiently appreciated beauty........2007-01-04

Betty Hutton is The WOW Girl. Annie Get Your Gun Proved that. Great looking and funny, she was (the lass is still living) a perfect comedy star. For awhile, she was the reigning queen of Hollywood. Let's not forget that. Her sad songs are softly whimsical. She's a doll and one of the very best.

Have you her her "Murder! He said!"? WOW! It's murder! (As is very good!)

NEWLY REMASTERED RELEASE.......2006-12-13

Marengo Films is proud to announce the new release of these fine two Betty Hutton movies. We believe The Perils of Pauline is the finest print of this film on the market. The Stork Club has been extensively re-mastered with a complete sound design and color correction. This print was slightly worn and the work took several passes. However we believe with the effort we put out to restore the film you will find that it too is the best print of this fantastic movie on the market.

THE PERFECT MIX OF MUSIC AND COMEDY 1940'S STYLE.......2007-02-15

EVEN IN THIS SLIGHTLY FADED 1945 BLACK AND WHITE FORGOTTEN MOVIE COMES FORTH THE ENERGY AND ENTERTAINMENT THAT IS DEFINITELY UPBEAT. THE LIKES OF BETTY HUTTON'S LIVELY SINGING AND DANCING ADDED TO BARRY FITZGERALD'S PERFECT ONE-LINERS, GREAT MUSICAL NUMBERS AND A GOOD SUPPORTING CAST (INCLUDING THE WISE-CRACKING IRIS ADRIAN) MAKES THIS A WINNER. FROM START TO FINISH, THE FLOW IS RIGHT ON THE MARK BY EXCELLENT EDITING THAT LEAVES NO LULLS IN THIS FILM. DEFINITELY A TREAT AND ONE TO KEEP IN YOUR COLLECTION.

Good Picture.......2007-01-13

The Stork Club is a great black and white. It is a pleasure to watch simply becuase of it's "feel good" story line, and because Betty Hutton is so adorable. This movie makes you appreciate the values of American society in the forties. They had so much class...
Unfortunately, the film seems to get a bit blurry at times, and too bright off and on toward the middle. Some restoration should be done.

A bit of a let down!.......2005-07-28

I have been an admirer of Betty Hutton for many many years but this did not come up to my expectations. She is as zany as ever but I have seen her with much better material to work with. eg her portrayal of Texas Guinan being an example. I liked it in spite of this and it will remain in my collection for some time to come

Great Film! Loads of Fun too!.......2005-05-24

This is a delightful film. I had not seen it for over 25 years, and what a treat! I don't think that any film with Betty Hutton has ever disappointed me- The musical numbers are great and the interaction between Betty and Barry Fitzgerald are hilarious. I can't speak for the difference between the VHS and the DVD, but the quality of the DVD is marginal. It is possible that this being a B movie the only prints available are marginal at best. Let me stress that the film is very watchable, but the end does have a couple of blurry areas, but they only last a second or so. Overall, this is a delightful film that you are sure to enjoy!

5 Star Movie with a 3 Star Treatment.......2004-12-04

Just a quick note on the DVD quality of the Alpha Release. Print quality is completely watchable not great but if you love the movie its well worth the cheap price. Its one of the better Alpha releases. The contrast is a little light and during one of the songs the film is a little shakey. I've viewed this film on two tv's and 1 computer each with their own leval of visual clarity, with the computer being the best. The sound is pretty good it olnly gets a little hiss-y when the volume is turned up.

The songs sung by Betty Hutton are:
"Love Me"
"If I had A Dozen Hearts"
"Doctor, Lawyer, Indian Chief"
"In the Shade Of the Old Apple Tree"
"I'm A Square In the Social Circle"

I Hope this Helps................
