Merry Andrew (1958)

Excellent!!!! Supurb !!!! Great Family Film

[10/10 · 3 September 2001]

I have posted comments before on Merry Andrew, but I don't think I will do any harm by mentioning either the same or different!!! I remember when I first saw this Delightful film in Sydney in 1958. I was sixteen at the time. I have caught it once or twice on tv. I just wish someone would buy the rights to release it on commercial video? Even though it's over forty years old, I would rather go miles to watch it again than some of the other shall we say more questional material at theatres or on tv. I'm fortunate to have bought the s/track & have the movie on tape. Summing up: Excellent & Supurb Family Entertainment.

Beneath the 12-Mile Reef (1953)

Excellent !!! Superb !!!

[12 June 2001]

I consider Beneath The Twelve Mile Reef one of the greatest movies that I've ever seen for a number of reasons. Put it this way I wouldn't mind a $ Australian or US for every time that I've seen this movie. Truly one of the all time greats. I would be interested in hearin from anyone else as to what they thought of this movie.

I consider Merry Andrew nothing short of excellent family entertainment. It is a pity that the video isn't available commercially, hopefully one day in the near future that will happen. However there was & I presume still is a soundtrack recording available. If anyone is interested in getting the recording, please contact me.

The Great Caruso (1951)

Excellent!!!!! Lanza was & still is the greatest!!!!

[1 May 2000]

I remember seeing The Great Caruso at a Cinema in Melbourne when I was 9 & I've never forgotten it!!!! Unfortunately they don't make movies like that anymore. Ironically that same theatre was where they had the Melbourne Premier of Mario's last film For The First Time on October 7th 1959 the day that Mario Lanza died. I beleive that I speak for most Mario fans around the world, when I say that Mario Lanza was the greatest tenor of them all!!!! I say that with all due respects to Pavartti Carrears & Domingo & many others. I'll never forget you Mario!!!!!

One of the best family films I've ever seen. It was excellent in 1958 & still is in 2000. I wish they would make more family films like this. I would recommend this film to everyone. I hope one day it will be released on commercial video and the release of a s/track or cd wouldn't hurt either. I hope these comments explain my feelings about Merry Andrew.
