5.0 out of 5 stars Toys in the Attic film, July 26, 2001
By 
B. W. Gibbons (NE Georgia, United States) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
This review is from: Toys in the Attic [VHS] (VHS Tape)
Though I didn't see the play or read the screenplay of L. Hellman's "Toys in the Attic," I have just seen the video and was entranced by the performances of Geraldine Page, Dean Martin, and Wendy Hiller!! What a movie!! Ms. Page never disappointed her audience, and 21 years later gave her Oscar-winning performance in "The Trip to Bountiful." I didn't realize how wonderfully Dean Martin could handle a dramatic role...Wendy Hiller stoicly is the older, common-sense sister who survives all the dysfunction in the siblings..what a movie!! Ms. Mimeaux is quite good as well. In my retirement, I'm trying to see the movies I missed when our children were small...this one is a "keeper."

This review is from: Toys in the Attic [VHS] (VHS Tape)
I LOVE THIS FILM! OF COURSE, I ADMIT, I'M PARTIAL TO 60'S FILMS ESPECIALLY GOOD OLD BLACK AND WHITE DRAMAS BUT PLEASE TAKE MY WORD ON THIS ONE...IF YOU ARE A GERALDINE PAGE FAN YOU CAN'T MISS THIS MOVIE!!! I'VE SAID IT BEFORE AND I'LL SAY IT AGAIN, THIS WOMAN WAS ONE OF THE GREATEST ACTRESSES EVER TO GRACE A MOVIE CAMERA...SHE DOES MORE IN 10 SECONDS OF SCREEN TIME THAN MOST ACTRESSES DO IN MOVIE AFTER MOVIE...TAKE NOTE: MISS ROBERTS, MISS RYAN, MISS JOLIE, ETC.! DEAN MARTIN IS ALSO EXCELLENT AND THE DIVINE WENDY HILLER IS SIMPLY STUNNING AS USUAL!

4.0 out of 5 stars An underrated film, June 16, 1999
By A Customer
This review is from: Toys in the Attic [VHS] (VHS Tape)
This film adaptation of the successful broadway play suffers from many of the same problems that always plague stage to film dramatic attempts. It is slow in places and sometimes too "stagy" for film. The choice of black and white film was wise however and the performances are excellent to good all the way around. Page and Hiller are fine as expected and Dean Martin is much better than critics have given him credit for. I have a theory that as Martin is discovered by contemporary audiences unaffected by his TV image as the lovable lush, he will begin to get far more credit than here-to-fore received for his film work circa 1958-1965. The film, like the play, won't appeal to a wide general audience, but for those who enjoy Lillian Hellman this is a much better film than given credit for at the time of release and worth owning
