I'm a huge Jean Arthur fan & she & Stewart make this cheesy piece of "Capricorn" worth watching! Grade B+

Dated yet likable early Stewart movie with Margaret Sullavan a delight as always. They would be paired together again in The Shop Around the Corner. Grade B+

I would've voted for Stewart any day! Again, he & Jean Arthur sparkle together in this incredible tale of good vs. evil in politics. Grade A+

Far better than the Meg Ryan remake You've Got Mail. Stewart & Margaret Sullavan are great as penpals falling in love. Grade A

Stewart & Cary Grant were great as always, but I've never been a Katherine Hepburn fan & personally I prefer High Society over this. Grade A-

Buy new: $10.99 / Used from: $1.63
Pot O' Gold is by far the better of the two, with great Harmonica-playing scenes. Made For Each Other is pretty forgettable but maybe worth watching once! Grade B+

Frank Capra's timeless masterpiece gets better & better with each viewing. I see it at least 6 times every X-Mas season! Grade A+

From the awesome director Henry Hathaway (Kiss of Death) comes this gripping true crime story that's brilliantly filmed. Stewart should've made more film noirs. Grade A

An interesting Hitchcock view of the infamous Loeb/Leopold murderers with Stewart, although in a supporting role, stealing every scene he's in! Grade A

Despite the great cast, this comedy is never very entertaining, except for Stewart & Barbara Hale who do the best they can with the muddled script. Grade B-

I liked Doris Day better in musicals (where her singing belonged!), but the tense opera scene at the end makes this a must-see for Hitchcock fans! Grade A

An underated gem by the legendary Billy Wilder that has been unjustly ignored. It's one of Stewart's finest performances. Grade A+

Kim Novak was very beautiful (as usual!) in this fun & off-beat romantic comedy with a top-notch cast. Grade A

Interesting portrayel of the F.B.I.'s early years, although it's not very accurate. Hoover himself approved this propaganda, so that explains all the flaws! Grade B+

Enjoyable comedy from Henry Koster (Harvey) but lacks the magic of his earlier films. Stewart was great in an "absent-minded professor" role. Grade B+
