Review How The Grinch Stole Christmas (Animated) [1966] / Warner Home Video:

To heck with the kids-this is one of the best Christmas presents you can give yourself. Adapted from the children's book by Dr Seuss, this charming story is one to watch every holiday season. It is just edgy enough to help you forget the more cloying aspects of Christmas. It is also sweet enough to remind you of the reason for all that holiday cheer. Animation genius Chuck Jones directed this 1966 television production featuring the voice of Boris Karloff as the mean greenie. Bitter and selfish, the Grinch decides to steal Christmas away from the Whos, sweet little folk at the bottom of his mountain that is his home. When little Cindy Loo Who returns his hateful act with kindness, she melts the old miser's heart. There are many reasons to watch this: inventive wordplay, Karloff's impressive narration and a very memorable soundtrack. -Rochelle O'Gorman.

Review Carry On Loving [1970] / Cinema Club:

Setting a Carry On film in a marriage bureau has a certain self-serving obviousness, so it's hardly surprising that Carry On Loving milks the idea for all it's worth. The Wedded Bliss Agency is of course a pretty dubious outfit, being run by Sid (James) and Sophie Bliss (Hattie Jacques), who together are the worst possible argument both for marriage and for their own profession: they constantly snipe at each other, they aren't actually married and their sophisticated computer matching system is in fact a complete fake. The remainder of the team are mostly cast as hapless clients, with predictable but often very funny situations arising from the various mismatches engineered by the agency, such as the inevitable misunderstanding over one client's interest in modelling. Yes, the humour is about as subtle as a flatulent elephant, but you can't help entering into the spirit of the thing. If there's an outstanding performance it has to be that of Imogen Hassall, who handles her transformation from round-shouldered frump to well-bred love goddess with considerable expertise and a genuine sense of fun. On the DVD: The picture ratio is 4:3, and as is usual for this series the disc has no added features, which always seems like a terribly missed opportunity. -Roger Thomas.

Review The Perils Of Pauline (1947) / Video Collectors Club:

Betty Hutton (The Greatest Show On Earth, Annie Get Your Gun) stars as famed silent movie star Pearl White in this very loose biography. very much a Betty Hutton vehicle featuring her singing songs such as, Rumble, Rumble. / Poppa, Don't Preach To Me/ & Poor Pauline, as well as recreating some of Pearl White's scenes from the The Perils Of Pauline original cliff-hanging silent movie serial. Co-stars include the inimitable William Demarest (who had previosly teamed with Hutton in The Miracle Of Morgan's Creek), and John Lund, (High Society).
