3.0 out of 5 stars Public domain Douglas, December 4, 2007

By	Annie Van Auken (Planet Earth) - See all my reviews (TOP 50 REVIEWER)    (REAL NAME)

Of the three titles (all on one DVD) in ST CLAIR's KIRK DOUGLAS SIGNATURE COLLECTION, only "The Master Touch" isn't in wide circulation. This fair-to-middling Euro-heist story has Douglas as an aging criminal who wants to pull off one last job.

In "The Big Trees," Douglas as the owner of a lumber company goes from villain to hero, all in lavish Technicolor.

"My Dear Secretary" is the best of this small lot. With a fine cast featuring show-stealer Keenan Wynn, this is the tale of a playboy who marries his latest in a long line of secretaries. Look for Irene Ryan (Granny in THE BEVERLY HILLBILLES) as the housekeeper. Also, check out Kirk's pre-surgery nose.

The AVA GARDNER COLLECTION is a similar DVD set from St. Clair.
