4.0 out of 5 stars great cast...great lines...good film, January 28, 2009

This was the first Agatha Christie based film I saw as a child. I've always remembered thinking what a great cast it had. Elizabeth Taylor, Angela Lansbury, Rock Hudson, Tony Curtis and Kim Novack!
Kim Novack stole this film for me. Not only was I bewitched by her beauty...she had some of the most hilarious dialog and a couple of her lines ('she's one of my oldest, OLDEST friends!' & 'Where'd you get this wig, Woolworths?!') have remained in my memory for 29 years- so that's saying something!
I love Elizabeth Taylor, but she's a little hammy in this film (and that's not a weight reference)
As a whole, it may not rank up there with other Agatha Christie films, but it's totally enjoyable due to it's plot, location & cast.
At this point, it's a great way to introduce younger people to old Hollywood!

3.0 out of 5 stars The Mirror Cracked with Wasted Cast but Novak's Magic Shows, April 19, 2011

This review is from: The Mirror Crack'd (DVD)

In respect of the recent demise of Elizabeth Taylor, I bought "The Mirror Cracked" because of the all star cast. The movie has Rock Hudson, Elizabeth Taylor, Tony Curtis, Kim Novak and Geradine Chaplin in it. However, the movie could have been a PBS special, which probably would have been better. The script was very slow but filmed beautifully in England. Angela Langsbury received her prequalification as a detective for years later as a murder investigator as Miss Marple. Script was based loosely off of actress Gene Tierney's life but can't give that away without spoiling the movie. Do your research after viewing the movie. Rock Hudson gives a poignant portrayal as the protective husband but Kim Novak shows most of the magic as the beautiful rival, bitch actress, of Elizabeth Taylor's. Novak looks trim, young and beautiful compared to Liz's overweight figure at the time. Also, Novak had some remarkable caddy remarks to Liz. Script could have had more action for this magical fifties assembly of movie stars, but potential wasn't maxmized. However, this is still worth having in your collection if you are a fan of these briliant stars.

5.0 out of 5 stars My dear piece for comparative study, June 24, 2011

I once studied American English and British English comparatively through this piece of work.
It was aolso interesting movie. You sent me a copy without Japanese regional code. So I can't view it. Your job is so lousy that you didn't even confirm my appropriate regional code. It should be quite clear that I placed my order from Japan, and I think it is quite strange that you didn't even confirm the address you were shipping to. You only thought about getting money from me. Very mean attitude.

I once ordered a DVD from Standford, but they were careful about shipping the DVD to Japan, and sent one with Japanese regional code. So Please do not be a fool. Have common sense!
