VHS Movie Reviews of Parrish
Movie Review: Where is the DVD????
Summary: 5 Stars
I am always amazed when I see the list of titles being released on DVD. Television shows that have just completed one season are on DVD but classic films like Parrish, Rome Adventure, Susan Slade, Make Way for Tomorrow, Lucy Gallant, Youngblood Hawke, A Summer Place to name a few are not available on DVD and most were never available on VHS- I don't get it! So much junk is put out in DVD format yet a film like Magnificent Obsession is not. I am beginning to think the film studios think that the DVD buying public is basically 25 or under and that is the age group they must cater to- I really wish they would get a clue and figure out that some of us would rather see a film without nudity or profanity. What a pleasure it is to watch these films that depict a simplier more genuine time- Movie Review: Not yet on DVD?
Summary: 5 Stars
I consider this movie a classic for it's time period. I am astounded it's not yet on DVD and that we have to "vote" to convence the studio to release it. Ever bit of nonsense that's newly relased makes it to DVD. It's a shame such movies as Parrish and Splender in the Grass are not available.Movie Review: The Characters Have Depth, Nothing Was Spared In Its Making
Summary: 5 Stars
Max Steiner's musical scoring, the brilliant performances by the entire cast, and the great directing and editing will put this film in the Gone With the Wind category. I recommend it highly to those who want to see filmmaking at its best.Movie Review: Parrish-The genius of Delmar Daves and Max Steiner
Summary: 5 Stars
My wife and I saw this film at a drive in central coastal caif.when first released.I believe the musical scores of Daves films lifted them higher than the scripts alone would allow.Each character or relationship had it's own theme music which would swell as a new scene faded in from black, it was very subtle,but very effective.It put the audience back in contact with the characters without using additional dialog.In the first viewing you may not even be aware of what Daves and Steiner are doing.The same thing happens in A Summer Place,Rome Adventure,Susan Slade It really adds to the enjoyment of the film.Of course it only works when someone of Max Steiners talent scores the films.Delmar Daves,best known perhaps as a director of westerns certainly had the touch to direct romantic films with a message.The skill to get the best performances out of young and inexperienced actors,and the most beautiful visuals and photographic work of that or any other era.His films leave you feeling good,a smile on your face,and your faith in mankind restored.THAT'S ENTERTAINMENT!Movie Review: Parrish
Summary: 5 Stars
I was a kid when my mom took me to the "burning of the barn" scene and the scenes in Old Saybrook. Then i saw the finished product and even today i still watch that film. Even though now it does seem a little corney, it's just plain fun to watch. I also was a big Troy Donahue fan and saw all of his other movies. "Rome Adventure", "Summer Place", and "Susan Slade" which for some reason was never transferred to tape, at least i have never been able to find it. Of course the music by Max Steiner is the greatest and it's a shame that we do not have any composers like Max anymore. Parrish is and will always be a great classic in my eyes.
