The Greatest Show on Earth
»rank: 13455
0ur opinion: essential video:The Greatest Show on Earth is a heaping helping of flapdoodle served up by one of Hollywood's canniest entertainers: producer-director Cecil B. DeMille. This overripe melodrama purports to be life inside the Ringling Brothers Circus; maybe it's not, but the circus ought to be like this.

All I Desire
»rank: 19527
0ur opinion: :A modest but intense turn-of-the-2Oth-century melodrama starring Barbara Stanwyck as a wayward mother who returns home to a hostile town, All l Desire looks ahead to the soapy melodramas that would make Douglas Sirk's reputation. Stanwyck is marvelous as the struggling actress who yearns for her old life, all but overpowering her wooden costar Richard Carlson. This is the first of a long string of films Sirk made with producer Ross Hunter, and it's a marriage made in Hollywood. Hunter provides the pulpy material, the ...

Gunfight at the O.K. Corral
»rank: 19151
0ur opinion: essential video:Novelist Leon Uris wrote the script for this Western directed by John Sturges (The Magnificent Seven) and based on the life and times of Wyatt Earp (Burt Lancaster) and his sickly companion, Doc Holliday (Kirk Douglas). The action inevitably leads to the legendary battle between the two heroes and the villainous Clanton gang, but the film is also very much about the conflicts each man faces with women, with one another, and with their own destinies. Lancaster is terrific as the downbeat Earp, ...
