5.0 out of 5 stars THEY DONT MAKE EM LIKE THIS ANYMORE, February 4, 2000

By 

John Cobb (Austin, TX) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Cash Mccall [VHS] (VHS Tape)

When Natalie Wood was in her prime, she was at the top of the biz, stunningly beautiful, sharp, but accessible. And no one played the all-american stud better than Jim Garner.

Call it a bedroom farce if you like but Cash McCall combines a lot of wheeling and dealing with a good old fashioned boy-meets-girl to make a very pleasing movie.

At first glance, McCall (Garner) is part playboy, part ruthless businessman, but we know better; that his heart of gold belongs only to Lory Austen (Wood), a woman he met last Summer, and he's thought of nothing but her since.

Standard fare, well done with attractive stars, that alone puts it in the upper 20% as far as I'm concerned. Enjoy it.

4.0 out of 5 stars One of My All Time Favorites, September 17, 2001

By A Customer

This review is from: Cash Mccall [VHS] (VHS Tape)

Sitting in Washinton D.C. a week after the worst terrorist attacks in US history, this was the movie I wanted to see. Perhaps because it was a simpler time back then -- in my life and in the movie -- or because I have so many fond memories of Miss Wood, or maybe because I just needed a good cry.

The story is bittersweet, but there is a happy ending. The businessmen have hearts, and the mid-century architecture (McCall's penthouse) and Miss Wood's wardrobe are just superb.

Pretty Woman can't hold a candle to this one.

5.0 out of 5 stars This classic should be reissued in DVD!, May 18, 2005

By 

William LaPlant "Bill" (Mt. Vernon, VA USA) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Cash Mccall [VHS] (VHS Tape)

This film, currently only available in VHS, has become a classic on which other classics are based! As has been pointed out by others, the plot of "Pretty Woman" (ASIN 6305696071) borrows heavily from this earlier film. Natalie Wood shines as much in her role in this film as the poor little rich girl as Julia Roberts does in hers in the other as the lady of the evening with the heart of gold. Both convince the heroes (played respectively by James Garner and Richard Gere) that its better to build up the companies they buy than to tare them apart. Thus both are an affirmation of what can be best about capitalism.
