4.0 out of 5 stars Very good for streching 30 min into 98, March 1, 2003

This review is from: Our Miss Brooks [VHS] (VHS Tape)

This 98 minute film starts out on How Miss Brooks comes to a new city to teach at Madison High and introduces us to the characters that were featured on radio and television from 1948 and on, thus a good introduction to people unfamilar with the 30 minute radio/television comedy.

It keeps the character traits and comedy of the radio/TV series and introduces a bit of drama that would not be out of touch with today. It shows Ms. Arden's underrated dramatic acting talents in this way.

I doubt any updated modern film version the series would be just as good

If one had never seen the TV/Radio series and judges it as just a movie, it would be a very good family film, if the children were of the grade 5 to 13 age.

4.0 out of 5 stars Another Classic Television Sitcom, September 3, 2003

By A Customer

This review is from: Our Miss Brooks, Vol. 1 [VHS] (VHS Tape)

"Our Miss Brooks" made a successful transition from radio to television in 1952 (even winning an Emmy Award in 1954 for its star, Eve Arden, in the role of English teacher Connie Brooks). During the next five years, viewers were treated to the weekly antics of the students and staff of Madison High School with a cast that, in addition to Miss Arden, included Gale Gordon (Principal Osgood Conklin), Robert Rockwell (Chemistry teacher Philip Boynton), and Richard Crenna (student Walter Denton). This delightful two-episode ("Christmas Show" and "Here Is Your Past") video reminds us that the sitcoms of "The Golden Age of Television" did not begin and end with "I Love Lucy" and "The Honeymooners."

This review is from: Our Miss Brooks [VHS] (VHS Tape)

I found this movie to be very good and very entertaining as well. Eve Arden was great in it. It has everything from comedy to romance. It's a film the entire family can watch.
