4.0 out of 5 stars lovely screwball comedy, December 20, 2004

This review is from: Miss Tatlock's Millions (VHS Tape)

A lovely screwball comedy, with an excellent cast and a clever script as you would expect from Charles Brackett and Richard Breen. John Lund shows a deft comedy touch as the stuntman hired to impersonate the dead idiot heir but who falls in love with his supposed sister. Lund and Wanda Hendrix have some very good scenes together while Ilka Chase, Barry Fitzgerald and Monty Woolley give great support. Even Robert Stack gives a good performance. Only director Richard Haydn's small part as the lawyer is totally over the top (played under the name Richard Rancyd - enough said).

It is a shame that this is only available as a very poor quality video. Why do so many good films never get released on video or DVD when so much rubbish does?

5.0 out of 5 stars Don't buy -, July 5, 2003

By 

Jayne (Australia) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Miss Tatlocks Millions [VHS] (VHS Tape)

Don't buy this video, it is taped from the tv and is not that good quality. If you are anywhere other than america it will be a complete waste of money. The movie is a great comedy unfortunatly the seller ruined it. -

Actually, Mad Phat Enterprises, Inc, in my defence i did write to amazon once i received this video and before i wrote the review. I asked them to take it back and give me a new one with better quality. They sent out a brand new video in which i was told was of top quality and yet it was the exact same copy. So now you say only one bad copy may have sliped through, well i seem to have been very unlucky getting two bad copies. Perhaps you should review your reviewing tactics as i don't think there working for you. I did the right thing and contact people before writing the review and i did receive money back however i was out shipping cost, time and a birthday present and as a customer i would have prefered to know just what i was buying and that is why i wrote the review. Obviouly i'm not the only one as i see someone else wrote about the poor quality of your video. So perhaps instead of saying it was my fault that i didn't write to you before writing a review you should check your paperwork or hey here's is an idea perhaps instead of trying to make yourselves look better how about making sure you have good quality items so people get what they paid for and don't have to write warning people against your products. Just a thought.

1.0 out of 5 stars Movie Is Five Star - Quality of Product Is One Star, December 30, 2003

Amazon Verified Purchase

This review is from: Miss Tatlocks Millions [VHS] (VHS Tape)

Before purchasing this video, I read a negative review posted by another purchaser. The review referred to the quality of the tape; not the content. I contacted the seller before purchasing and was told (practically verbatum) the reply that is listed in the sellers response to the original review. I was guaranteeed a refund if I was not happy. I bought the tape and the quality is TERRIBLE!! I DO LIVE IN AMERICA and that doesn't help. Twice the screen completely blacked out, multiple times the channel it was taped from flashed across the screen, and there is much "snow" in the picture. While I intend to keep the product, it is ONLY because it's easier than trying to catch this movie on the late, late show. FOR THE QUALITY, THE PRICE IS RIDICULOUS!!
