(Fantastic)

(Not Bad....Not Real Good Either!)

(OUTSTANDING STYLISTICS)

(sweet soul music)

(Satisfied)
I am so happy that I bought this DVD. I am old school and my favorite group from that time is the Stylistics. Performance was superb. I only wish this DVD was longer and included three of my favorite songs, Stop, Look, Listen, Lets put it all together and Na Na is the saddist word, but I will take what I got. However, I am very greatful for such a fantastic performance. I saw the group about 4 years ago and noticed the new lead singer right away. Of couse I was wondering if he would sound the same as the original singer, and he did. If you were not seeing them in person and only listening, you would think it was the original singer. YOU GO BOY.
This group used to be soooooo good. Now only the lead singer is in top vocal form; the other men might as well have not even shown up. They should maybe start thinking about retiring as well. I think the lead singer would do very well if he went solo!
THE VIDEO WAS SIMPLY AWESOME EVEN THOUGH THE ORIGINAL LEAD SINGER WAS NOT WITH, THE YOUNG MAN WITH THEM NOW SOUND JUST LIKE THE ORIGINAL LEAD SINGER AND THE ENTIRE CD WAS EXTREMELY AWESOME, I AM SO GLAD THAT I PURCHASED IT.
Who ever said that this music is old and out dated, cant really know what
music is about. Richie.

I was pretty satisfied with the dvd. However, I did feel they could have performed a little longer.

(Simply OK)

(The original recordings)

(Great to Hear All those great Voices from the Past)

(A Good One!)
I haven't enjoyed this one very much. As a matter of fact, I passed it on. Seemed lackluster somehow.
A nice sampler. I bought it primarily for "Together, Forever" from Gypsy, though its nice to have the Broadway version of "Send in the Clowns (I believe by Glynis Johns). But it is just a sampler, and fans of Broadway music are probably better served buying the full original cast recordings.
I just wanted to confirm what the first reviewer had to say about this CD. To hear Ethyl Merman, Mary Martin, Andrea McCardle etc. singing their trademark songs brought a lot of memories from the mid-centry musical theater back again. The last song by Glynis Johns is especially poignant.
You certainly can't beat the price!

This is a very good CD, mostly because it's the original artists. I've had some that were re-recorded by no name artists that were ghastly. This one is a really good one--including the sound quality. If I had one wish, I would wish it were longer!

(Nice, lively musi)

(An Enduring Winner)

(Single Time Swing)

(Best I've Heard)

(Entertaining, but some tracks don't belong here)
I was looking for some lively swing music, and this fits the bill exactly. I only wish there were hours more of it!
When this first came out over a decade ago from RCA Victor/BMG it was an instant winner among those Big Band fans starving for some CD material presenting the music of that era in quality AAD sound. Unlike many releases at that time, it even has three paragraphs in the insert describing the usual reception for these renowned groups when their buses rolled into town, along with a re-listing of the generous (for the time) 19 tracks showing recording dates and locations.

With so much to choose from in terms of material, I have to agree with those who assigned 5 stars to the tracks presented here, each in its own way representative of the music so popular from 1933 to 1940 (the span covered here). And yes, even to the inclusion of Fletcher Henderson's Mary Had A Little Lamb, a 1936 recording featuring a brief vocal by Teddy Lewis, but some of the best instrumental solos ever put to disc. Really, the title and the lyrics are incidental.

The same reviewer who lamented that selection, also had disparaging remarks for the "whitebread" Casa Loma Stomp, only the first of 64 hits for Glen Gray&His Casa Loma Orchestra (named after a famed Toronto nightclub which the band called home for a spell) which hit # 15 in January 1931 (this is a 1933 re-recording), as well as Bunny Berigan's rendition of All God's Chillun Got Rhythm (with vocal by Ruth Bradley). Yes, trying to do that in today's society would go over like a lead balloon - but this was 1937 and that year both Duke Ellington (# 14 instrumental) and Artie Shaw (# 15 with vocal by Tony Pastor) had hits with it.

Their inclusion in this historical volume is just fine, thank you very much. As the blurb says on the reverse "Foot-tappin' favorites&jumpin' jitterbugs from the Fabulous Swing Era! Over 64 minutes of the swingin'est singles ever!" And at a pretty decent price I might add.

This is jitterbug. The title SWING is confusing. There is East Coast swing, West Coast swing, etc. This is big band swing. Only for limited use in teaching swing.
I purchased several swing collections previously and they all had poor quality audio - they had not been cleaned up from the original recordings. This CD is MUCH cleaner and makes for an enjoyable experience.
The main problem with this CD is the coupling of great tracks with fairly awful ones.

On the great side, you have Benny Goodman's rollicking "Don't Be That Way" and a song destined to kill live in "Sing Sing Sing." Tommy Dorsey's beautiful "Opus One" and lively "Boogie Woogie." Duke Ellington's signature "Take The 'A' Train." Artie Shaw's bouncing "Back Bay Shuffle." Glenn Miller's theme for jitterbuggers, "In The Mood."

Then there are the disappointments. The whitebread "Casa Loma Stomp" by Glen Grey. The cringe-inducing "All God's Chillun Got Rhythm" by Bunny Berigan. The extremely silly "Mary Had A Little Lamb" by Fletcher Henderson, which is especially disillusioning to hear when one considers that Henderson supplied a good many of Benny Goodman's hard swinging band arrangements!

We can at least be thankful that Kay Keiser and Hal Kemp didn't show up on this disc.

(Fond Memories)

(The worst dvd ever made.)

(All About Characters)

(THE DIRECTION LACKS FOCUS.)

(Love the Catskills? You'll love this achingly beautiful film)
Enjoyed seeing the movie Sweet Lorraine. It brought back memories when I was a kid staying in the Heiden Hotel (Sweet Lorraine). Now that the Heiden Hotel has burnt down, I can still have fond memories of still seeing the hotel whenever I watch Sweet Lorraine. The main charactors, Lillian&Sam were true to life and wished they could have saved the Sweet Lorraine.
I've just found joy....I'm as happy as a baby boy...Finally! I have waited for a decade and a half for this film to get a digital release. I've written letters to Angelika...all without response. And here it is...with a completely inappropriate cover! Don't let the bad cover put you off. This is a great film. It pays homage to the end an era that is sadly no longer around. (I know this for sure...a few years ago, I went on a pilgrimage to the location of filming, The Heiden Hotel. Even then, it was in very sad shape. I recently read that it was sold and I have no doubt that it will be razed.)

But here, on film, the Heiden lives on as the wonderful Hotel Lorraine. Directed by the son-in-law of the Heiden's owners, Sweet Lorraine celebrates the final season of a decades old Catskill resort. It hosts a gaggle of future stars before they became regular faces on shows like The Sopranos, Sex and the City, and Remember When as well as the wonderful Maureen Stapleton as hotelkeeper, Lillian Garber.

Perhaps the best reason to view this film is that it captures summer...starting with the anticipation of Memorial Day and Molly's eagerness to join the family business to the somberness of Labor Day and the developer's final offer. It overflows with affection for the era and for the subject. If you have a sweet spot for summer vacations and nostalgia, this is the film for you.

I've seen Sweet Lorraine over 50 times and I've worn out 3 vhs tapes. I've shown it to my high school students in Japan. I've ripped the theme song and put it on my iPod. OK...so maybe you won't go as far over the top as I did, but you'll be happy you spent the summer at Sweet Lorraine.

I ADDED A NEW REVIEW AFTER RECEIVING THIS DVD WHICH AMAZON HAS SINCE DELETED. THIS DVD HAS BEEN MASTERED SO POORLY IT QUALIFIES AS THE WORST DVD I'VE EVER SEEN. MY OLD WORN VHS COPIES LOOK AND SOUND BETTER THAN THIS DVD. THE PICTURE HAS BEEN MASTERED WITH A VERY OVEREXPOSED, HARSH APPEARANCE. THE AUDIO, ADDITIONALLY, HAS BEEN MASTERED WITH A VERY HEAVY TREBLE EMPHASIS WHICH GIVES IT AN ANNOYING BRASSY QUALITY. AS MUCH AS I LOVE THIS FILM, MY ADVICE TO ANYONE WOULD BE TO BUY A USED VHS COPY AND

AVOID THIS DVD.

This is one of those rare gems - a vast ensemble cast of excellent performers, all creating individual, and quite believable characters in a bittersweet story of the last days of a summer hotel. Maureen Stapleton is outstanding as she always was, but the rest of the cast is not to be forgotten either. There's no action as such, except for a great scene of a baseball game, because the film is well focused on characterization. Who needs noise and action in every film? This should be on DVD! You won't regret watching this one if you care about people. Rates 5 stars (even though Amazon only registers 2 - I gave it 5! Must be a technical glitch.). See it.
The final season of a Catskill hotel that has seen its best days provides the framework for this film, featuring Maureen Stapleton as the owner who must decide whether or not to sell, Trini Alvarado as her granddaughter who wishes to soldier on as a partner, and a raft of others performing as employees of the hotel whose activities comprise numerous subplots. The work is highly episodic, but most scenes are permitted to pass with virtually no development, leading to a rather downbeat feeling in the viewer, with the significance of reminiscence for the players being largely unappreciated; an entirely unfocussed exercise.

While it's true that this movie has only a light, meandering plot, it's not the plot that counts: it's the astonishingly accurate, nostalgic, and bittersweet portrayal of the last days of an old Jewish Catskills hotel. It'll resonate most with those who have some connection to the Catskills. If you've ever spent a vacation at any of the big (or smaller) Jewish resorts there, you'll adore this film: its every detail is true-to-life in a way most films can't capture, and it'll make you ache for the sweetness of summers--and loved ones--past.

(Must have cult classic...)

(The Best)

(Yun50's)

(Cult Classic - Bad Movie)
I came across this movie by accident years ago on tv and fell in love...so I finally bought it and have watched it several times over now. If you like 1960's NY themed movies you will love this one! And you will love the music!
If you have never seen this movie, you are missing a classic. I love this movie. Michael Wright, Ken Wahl. The Baldy's, the Wan's, Duckey Boys. You will love this movie as much as I do.
This movie was released the same time as the WARRIORS so it got over shadowed by another good movie but this is set in a much later era and for a gang movie premis i think it was very well done
Received DVD quickly in the mail in excellent condition. Because this is an old release I was worried that the picture guality would be less than perfect, but I was happy to see that the color was vibrant, picture was clear and the sound was very good.
Everything from the acting to the plot, is really bad in this movie... I bought it out of the reviews I've read.. still I was very disappointed..
Tully High School seniors Richie, Joey and Perry run with a gang called the Wanderers in the Bronx. The time is fall 1963 but their experiences are universal: falling in love, surviving in school and defending turf against rivals like the Fordham Baldies, the Del Bombers and the Ducky Boys.

(Wonderful film)

(An Oldie But Goodie)

(A great message....)

(Great Old Standard)

(INSPIRATIONAL MOVIE)
I've always enjoyed this film but never got around to buying it until now. George Burns' performance is excellent - humorous but with a point.
I haven't viewed this yet, although I saw the movie years ago. I'll be sharing this DVD when my grand daughter comes to visit.
It is a great story. Carl Reiner was truly inspired when he did this film. Seeing it make one feel good about the world and himself, great message.

Choosing a fragile old man to play God was a great idea! The lines in this film deserves to be thought about.

Denver plays the man that was picked by God to deliver His message to mankind today. The great thing is that his character is a very good example of a simple man carrying God's flag. His main concern is the task at hand, to deliver God's message.

The film message is quite current.



This is just a great old classic and is wonderful watching for the grandkids! Recommend to everyone!
THIS WAS TRULY A GOOD MOVIE. TOO BAD THAT MORE PEOPLE DON'T WATCH IT AND LEARN FROM IT. WE REALLY ENJOYED IT.
Carl Reiner directed this sweet comedy about the Man Upstairs visiting Earth in the form of a funny little guy (George Burns). John Denver is the good man chosen to be God's contact in the modern age--and like an Old Testament prophet, Denver's character pays the price by being ridiculed and faced with criminal charges. Denver is a warm presence, but the film is entirely in Burns's court. Reiner feeds him lines that come out of Burns' mouth like stage patter, and it's no wonder he got a huge career boost from this film in the winter of his life. Except for some courtroom stuff in the third act--where Reiner inadvertently cheapens the movie with editing tricks to suggest "miracles"--Oh, God!is just fine. (It's certainly better than its two perfunctory sequels,Oh God! Book IIandOh God! You Devil.)--Tom Keogh
Suppose God personally chose you to spread His message to all humankind. That's what happens to supermarket manager John Denver in a graceful comedy blessed by George Burns in his best-loved role.
