With the breathtaking new restoration and re-mastering that this film was given for its DVD release, new generations will be able to appreciate the classical collaboration of a flawless screenplay and bravura acting performances. Review Criterion - The pinnacle of film perfection and excellence. - Not quite an immortal film, yet a masterpiece in its own right. - Historically important film, considered a classic. - Borderline viewable. - A gangrenous and festering pustule in the chronicles of celluloid.

My Thoughts: It's a Wonderful Life... It's a Wonderful Film! This is one of those films that I have seen so often on cable that I plainly got sick of seeing or hearing about it. So I haven't seen it in a very long time. Because of that I forgot how fantastic a film it is. It is a great, true classic story. One I couldn't imagine being any better then what it is. Both Jimmy Stewart and Donna Reed was fantastic in this film... as was the rest of the cast. If by some strange chance you never seen this film I urge you to give it a chance this Holiday season.. I am sure you wouldn't be sorry. Rating: (From Christmas 2017 on December 11th, 2017) Tom's TV Pilots marathon, a review by Tom
Plot:Columbo movies: Prescription: Murder and Ransom for a Dead Man. Columbo's first season features legendary guest stars like Robert Culp, Ray Milland, Eddie Albert, Suzanne Pleshette, Don Ameche, Leslie Nielsen and Roddy McDowall. It's no mystery why Columbo: The Complete First Season is the DVD set crime fans have been waiting for! Columbo 1.01 Prescription: Murder (1968-02-20) Writer: Richard Levinson (Screenwriter), William Link (Screenwriter), Richard Levinson (Original Material By), William Link (Original Material By) Director: Richard Irving Cast: Peter Falk (Lt. Columbo), Gene Barry (Dr. Ray Flemming), Katherine Justice (Joan Hudson), William Windom (Burt Gordon), Nina Foch (Carol Flemming), Virginia Gregg (Miss Petrie), Andrea King (Cynthia Gordon), Susanne Benton (The Blonde), Ena Hartman (Nurse), Sherry Boucher (Air Hostess), Anthony James (Tommy) This first episode of Columbo wasn't original thought of as a pilot of a series. It was a standalone TV movie based on a play. But Peter Falk's Columbo was so good, that he got a series based on this movie three years later. Generally you already see the Columbo we know in the series. The major difference is, that Columbo seemed better groomed here. But his other trademarks are already here. Even his antagonist recognizes his personality traits already. Pretending to be more stupid than he his to trick him up. Rating: (From Tom's TV Pilots marathon on April 1st, 2011) |
