Movie Reviews

Skipper-The Early Years

David Baldwin | Philadelphia,PA USA | 11/26/2008

(4 out of 5 stars)

"Marketed by Warners as a holiday film this barely qualifies with a brief Christmas scene at the end. What the makers are trying to capture is a Capra-esque feel and they nearly succeed. They don't quite meet those lofty heights but they have concocted a disarmingly amusing confection. And Gale Storm is as cute as a button. About the only real criticism I have is the flick suffers a tad from overlength particularly for a comedy. Otherwise, it's not a bad way to while away the winter months."

Wonderful Story Set At Holiday Time!!

"After looking for this movie for years I finally found it on VHS. Today I was going through my movies & realized that it is missing. I see that it is now on DVD so I am buying it immediatly. For those who were critical of it, all I can say is to go back to watching the RAMBO movies.R.G. Hooper"

A Must See for Film Buffs!

Movie Nut | New York USA | 05/09/2009

"I actually had this film on VHS, I ordered it years ago from Moviesunlimited.com and can't tell you the number of times I watched it. The video was wearing thin and behold the DVD release! The thrill of seeing this on DVD made my day- A delightful lost treasure! Gale Storm, Don DeFore, Charlie Ruggles and the underrated...Ann Harding! The story is simple but wonderful! Films like this have been ignored for the bigger blockbusters, so who ever picked this to put it on DVD...A BIG THANKS!!!

The whole family will enjoy it!"

Old-fashioned feel-good double romance and lesson about true

Sanpete | in Utah | 12/29/2009

(4 out of 5 stars)

"This movie is a little silly at times, sometimes a little stiff, with stock characters and themes, but by the middle those characters have grown on us and we want to see the themes play out.

The plot involves the second richest man in the world being drawn into masquerading as a squatter in his own house, and what he learns from the experience. It's set post-WWII, with a nod to the concerns of the day for jobs and housing for returning soldiers. Don DeFore plays the younger romantic lead, a veteran unknowingly falling for the rich man's daughter. Gale Storm is that daughter, bright and cute. Charles Ruggles is the rich man, and Victor Moore the panhandler with a heart of gold (and the manner of a butler philosopher) who is rich in soul. Alan Hale, Jr., later of Gilligan's Island, has a secondary role as another veteran. The musical score is particularly nice, and there's a little singing. As others have mentioned, Christmas only shows up in passing; it's not really a Christmas movie.

The DVD is OK, with somewhat coarse but clear-enough sound and good image quality (black-and-white, in the film's original full screen format). The only special features are subtitles in English for the hearing impaired, and also in French."
