Here is a nice tiny Holiday film collection with a immense surprise! Most everyone is familiar with these titles and all of them have been out prior to this release. However, Laurel & Hardy’s March of the Wooden Soldiers has never been released in quite the diagram it has here – complete, uncut, suitable transfer and the fresh studio logo and title cards for — Babes In Toyland! Finally, after years of television “butchering” and copyright battles, one of Laurel & Hardy’s best is available as it was originally released. Thanks to 20th Century Fox and MGM for releasing this minute part of film history.
This holiday three DVD collection released by MGM gives us alot in a slight package for a reasonable heed.

First off the stamp is Frank Capra’s “Pocketful of Miracles” ***.It is a epic of a street vendor/walker by the name of Apple Annie(Bette Davis) whose apples are considered to be a salubrious luck charm for the local gangster Dave the Dude(Glenn Ford) .Annie it seems has raised enough money over the years off the street to send her daughter to Spain to be raised and educated(Ann Margarets’debut performance) .Now her daughter is coming support to behold her and be wed not gleaming Annies’ apt self.Dave steps in and tries to abet.
It is a long movie but has a terrific cast including Peter Falk who does a stout job as Daves’ street wise cracking “associate”.But unfortunately even though the movie has alot of nice moments throughout its’ pacing and narrative line is uneven.The ruin scene comes unexpectedly swift and is in a plan anti-climactic.The holiday season is mentioned only fleetingly and I have never felt this great of a holiday entry as compared to say “It’s a Fabulous Life” which is a distinct classic of the genre and in a league far above this movie.Not one of Capra’s best by far.
The next entry is “The Bishops’Wife” **** 1/2.This is honest a dazzling and,if I can consume the word,gentle movie.It involves a Bishop Brougham(David Niven) and his wife(Loretta Young) .Both are currently struggling with their lives(especially the Bishop) to raise funds to get a current cathedral.In steps angel Dudley(Cary Grant) into the works to aid out the pair.In time we leer that not only are the pair struggling with the original building but with their marriage also.Dudley deals with the Bishops’ wife more on a personal level(powerful to the Bishops’ chagrin) and steers the Bishop onto more productive paths in a more indirect map.In the waste,in sometimes the most unexpected but heart warming ways,Dudley finally accomplishes what he status out to do.
This is a fantastic movie,a mountainous change of slither and like “Miracle on 34th Street” has that “gentle” feel to it.I highly recommend it to all.

The last entry and the cream of the sever is Stan Laurel and Oliver Hardy’s “Babes in Toyland” ***** .To be more familiar with unique audiences they have establish the TV version name “March of the Wooden Soldiers” on the box hide for all three of the movies and on the individual hump case conceal.But this is NOT one of the many crop,pasted,colour copied,sloppily transferred wanna-be’s that are currently on the market(notice my previous reviews on those) .I am finally relieved to be able to assert you this is the New theatrical version with the modern title cards intact from beginning to attractive raze!!
The account involves two fairy anecdote type characters Ollie Dee(Oliver Hardy) and Stannie Dum(Stan Laurel) who live in Toyland with many fairy epic characters.They eventually butt heads with the meanest man in Toyland Barnaby who gets the two in distress on some trumped up charges.He then proceeds to bag Tom-Tom,a rival for the hand of Bo-Peep,sent away on unfounded charges to Bogeyland.The Boys exonerate Tom-Tom and residence about to rescue him and Bo Beep from the clutches of the bogeymen and Barnaby who has decided to invade and acquire over Toyland with his hairy hoard.In the raze Barnaby and the Bogeymen are defeated and they all live happily ever after.
It’s a improbable myth that has ecstatic viewers for over 70 years(!) and thanks to MGM we FINALLY have it released the device it was meant to be and SHOULD be seen.The print is capable.
In conclusion the “Holiday Collection” is well worth the heed for your money considering what you come by.Each movie is in a thin pak and none have any special features but the titles are well worth(and more) the modest heed being charged.”Pocketful of Dreams” is the weakest entry in the pack while “The Bishop’s Wife” and “Babes in Toyland” are the stars here.The latter is especially signifigant as it’s in its’ fresh manufacture and COMPLETE!
Enjoy.
