Movie Reviews

Euro-style glamor
Annie Van Auken | Planet Earth | 08/24/2007
(4 out of 5 stars)

"BRENTWOOD Movie Packs offer a variety of cinematic genres at bargain prices. Video transfers of their "B" movies are pretty decent, as is sound.

"Bombshell" was once used to describe actresses like Loren, Lollobrigida, Bardot, Sommer and Lisi. Presented here on two double-sided DVDs are four prime examples of vintage European cinema showcasing the above beautiful ladies (who were also fine actresses).

SYNOPSES:

"The Doll That Took The Town" - A sex/comedy consisting of four unrelated segments. Gorgeous European actresses in a very 60s, very continental romp.

"Imperial Venus" - The story of Napoleon Bonaparte's devoted sister as portrayed by sex kitten Gina Lollobrigida.

"Rum Runners" - A Prohibition-era captain of an alcohol transport vessel becomes infatuated with (and eventually meets) a beautiful silent-screen actress.

"Two Women" - Sophia Loren's Oscar-winning turn in an atypically unglamorous role. A mother and daughter flee Rome for a small village during WWII, but the war follows them there.

(7.9) Two Women (Italy/France-1960) - Sophia Loren/Jean-Paul Belmondo/Raf Vallone"
"Bombshells" is a Bomb, unfortunately...

"Reading the details of this release and you`re immediately sucked in to the promise/satisfaction of seeing 5 of Europe`s most alluring leading ladies - Sophia Loren, Gina Lollabrigida, Elke Sommer, Virna Lisi and Brigitte Bardot - so it`s a done deal, and in your mailbox shortly thereafter. The harsh reality unveils itself as soon as you pop it in the dvd player - the prints are washed-out, some edited poorly w/ jumpy picture stabilization, almost all in B+W, almost all in pan and scan. Bummer of the highest order, and the movies aren`t great either, except for 'Two Women', and I`ve purchased 3 different copies of this film, and ALL of the print sources were abyssmal, so I don`t think a solid source worth keeping even exists (same w/ 'Yesterday, Today And Tomorrow', another great film w/ nothing but lousy copies floating about). I got mine incredibly cheap so I didn`t feel too victimized by the purchase, but traded it in as soon as I sat bored throughout the viewings, still hopeful for something worthwhile to convince me to keep it in my vast collection. That didn`t happen, so pass on this one and seek something else out for your enjoyment and collection."
