Here Comes Mr. Jordan—not the usual story—is complicated in storyline. It' s a movie that requires careful watching and consistent mental involvement. The title
of the film does not describe the film well.

Buy a
ticket? Yes? No? Maybe?
Yes. It performs at the exceptionally creative and unique level. The movie may appeal highly to audiences who like movies that entangle the spiritual world with the material world.
The Maltese Falcon—unique—shows the acting capability of Humphrey Bogart to good advantage. Even though the movie is aged and uses black and white color, its classic feel still shows effect. It is well-written. Good work for all involved in production of this mystery/detective movie.

The Reluctant Dragon— is a fictional biopic on
how Robert Benchley pitched The Reluctant Dragon to Walt Disney, with a tour of
the Disney production staff, studios, and how they make cartoons. This film is wonderful
and tells a wonderful story. An easy way to explore the background of what it takes to make a cartoon, to meet some of the actors who make Donald Duck and Pluto live on screen. Watch for the special cameo appearance of Walt Disney himself. This is one of the better
biopics on the market.

Yes. This is a wonderful biopic and tells a
wonderful story. It is great to see what makes Disney Studios work and what
goes into the production of some of this studio's most iconic characters and cartoons.
The Nifty Nineties—cute and honest—fully illustrates what
entertainment needs to encourage. WOW! This is a wonderful short film. It has a
perfect, light conclusion and quickly assigns itself to the great animated film
for child/adult share category. Watch for nice cameos of Goofy, Donald, Daisy,
Huey, Dewey, and Louie. This short film features at the beginning of the Pollyanna
movie DVD.

a very good, child/adult share cartoon. WOW! Golden entertainment.
All-American Co-ed is what it is. The movie storyline is not highly
interesting and seems to be a musical promotion of singers and dancers rather
than an entertainment piece for the general public.

Prinz for directing effort. Thank you to Producer Leroy Prinz for making the
film possible. Cast includes: Frances Langford, Johnny Downs, Marjorie
Woodworth, Noah Beery Jr., Esther Dale, The Tanner Sisters, and Harry Langdon.
Buy a ticket? Yes? No? Maybe?
Maybe. The storyline is simple, but a little
unclear. The movie is dated but provides a good study of 1940s film
entertainment.
Miss Polly—short film—plays like slapstick comedy but the comedy runs flat. The
story is simple but the acting trails shallowly along behind the story which
leads to audience frustration and a deep wish to move it along. The inevitable
question becomes “WHY?” is this production important to make.

Storyline
Miss Polly, a romantic old soul, changes the
rigidness of a small town’s moral character.
