Summary: Storm Warning
Comment: Another product that was supposedly shipped on Feb 4th, but I have not yet received it.

Summary: Dramatic Thunder
Comment: Worth a look if you want to see how Ginger Rogers and Doris Day do in serious roles. Day would go on to help Reagan be everyone's hero in the Norwegian baseball comedy "The Winning Team." Recommended.

Summary: "Storm Warning": A Great American Classic
Comment: I just finished watching "Storm Warning". Let me tell you that it is a great movie. I have'nt seen many old moveis (only the original "Dracula") but I fell in love with this one. I am now an old movie fan.
I origionaly got this because of Ronald Reagan, and he gives a great preformance, but the real magic is behind this allstar suppoeting cast. This was one of the best movies I have ever seen. I suggest this to anyone and everyone. It speaks of the American "untouchables": the Klan. I think it was well done. Bravo!!!

Summary: Good Acting, Fine Film
Comment: I watched Storm Warning a couple of weeks ago and really enjoyed the film. The film is about a Klan murder which is witnessed by the "outsider" sister who is in town to visit her sister (Doris Day). Ginger Rogers witnesses a murder which is carried out by the brother in law she is soon to meet (Steve Cochran).
The film is obviously about the Ku Klux Klan and it supposedly takes place in the American South, although apparently nobody has a southern accent, which is I guess better than the amusingly fake southern accents that comes out of Hollywood now. I didn't realize Ginger Rogers was such a quality actress, she did a fine job in this film. I guess I always thought of her in those more corny roles where she dances with Dean Martin or Fred Astaire, whoever it was.
Ronald Reagan plays the county or town prosecuting attorney and the best scene comes right at the end when shows up at a huge klan rally and delivers this quote after being threatened with a firearm and some kind of official sounding diatribe, "Don't give me that Halioween Routine." It's funny how he recognizes everybody in the klan, and they all scatter when Reagan gets tough, just like the communists did. It's a prophetic scene because I imagined him with all those Soviet officials and Gorbachev during all the Arms negotiations/talks.
Anyways I thought Storm Warning was going to be kind of corny, but it's a pretty good film, with very good acting. Ginger Rogers definitely was the star, her eyes are beautiul. I would like to see more of her films.

Summary: The KKK Took My Baby Sister Away
Comment: This film is a time capsule curio for sure. You can say it's part noir, part diatribe, and part "Dragnet". This stylistic hodge-podge kind of undercuts the film's anti-Klan message but it doesn't fail to entertain you. If for anything else see the film for a dynamic turn by Ronald Reagan as a crusading D.A. His towering presence brought to my mind the charisma when he was President. Close your eyes during the scenes when he's conducting an inquest into the murder of an investigative reporter or when he confronts the Grand Wizard of the Klan. You can almost imagine him telling Mr. Gorbachev to tear down that wall. The film is also helped by terrific performances by Ginger Rogers and Doris Day(two other underrated actors) and particularly Steve Cochran as Day's dopey Klansman husband.
