Editorial Review:

Of course, we all know now why Ellen DeGeneres can't find Mr. Right, though she was much less forthcoming when she made this limp comedy in 1996. At that point, while riding the middling success of her TV series, it probably seemed like a good career move to make this increasingly desperate film. She plays Martha, a TV producer in her 30s who is under pressure from both her parents and friends to find the right guy. Then, by accident, she stumbles across Whitman (Bill Pullman), who seems like the ultimate dreamboat: handsome, sensitive, and thoughtful. But his flaws become quickly apparent, and when she tries to break it off, he becomes a stalker. DeGeneres has some funny material early on, then must settle for reacting to Pullman's bizarre behavior. Pullman often is funnier than his costar but neither of them is particularly well served by the cobbled-together script and the generic direction of Nick Castle. --Marshall Fine

Description

The Alfred Hitchcock Signature Collection contains the DVD debut of 8 Hitchcock classics including "Strangers on a Train Two-Disc Special Edition," and the following 7 new single-disc DVDs: "Dial M For Murder," "Foreign Correspondent" "Suspicion," "The Wrong Man," "Stage Fright," "I Confess" and "Mr. and Mrs. Smith." The previously released "North by Northwest" is also included in the 10-disc Signature Collection. Each of the 9 films in the collection shows why Hitchcock is regarded as one of Hollywood's most esteemed and important directors, and also brings legendary stars to the digital front including Cary Grant, Henry Fonda, Marlene Dietrich, Grace Kelly, Montgomery Clift and many others.

Strangers on a Train - En route from Washington, D.C., champion tennis player Guy Haines (Farley Granger) meets pushy playboy Bruno Anthony (Robert Walker). What begins as a chance encounter turns into a series of morbid confrontations, as Bruno manipulates his way into Guy's life. Bruno is eager to kill his father and knows Guy wants to marry a senator's daughter (Ruth Roman) but can't get a divorce from his wife. So Bruno suggests the men swap murders, which would leave no traceable clues or possible motives. Though Guy refuses, it won't be easy to rid himself of the psychopathic Bruno. Hitchcock's daughter Patricia appears in this film. The extra features included on the DVD are: Alternate 'preview' version of the film; Commentary by director Peter Bogdanovich, Psycho screenwriter Joseph Stephano, Strangers on a Train author Patricia Highsmith and biographer Andrew Wilson; New making-of documentary Strangers on a Train: A Hitchcock Classic, with Farley Granger, film historian Richard Schickel, Patricia Hitchcock O'Connell and other Hitchcock family members and colleagues recalling the making of this suspense landmark; Three intriguing featurettes: The Hitchcocks on Hitch, Strangers on a Train: The Victim's P.O.V., Strangers on a Train by M. Night Shyamalan; Alfred Hitchcock's Historical Meeting, a vintage newsreel.

Each DVD will be presented in a format preserving the aspect ratio of its original theatrical exhibition and will include the original theatrical trailer, and subtitles in English, French and Spanish.

Alfred Hitchcock Signature Movie Collection DVD set.......2007-04-12

A Must have for all hard-core Alfred Hitchcock movie fans

Wonderful Collection.......2007-04-06

This collection is absolutely fabulous. All the movies are remastered and are excellent quality especially on a big screen. Just as I remembered them. Too cool...

a must for a fan.......2007-03-08

As a long time fan of Hitchcock, I am always looking for more. I have approx. 20 of his films on DVD. This collection has some that I had never seen before. In addition, the "making of" special features are great for someone who wants to know what made Hitch so unique as a film director. I have (and will) spend many hours viewing these discs.

If you an Alfred Hitchock movie fan, you need to get this box set. There are some movies, I haven't seen before, but I did enjoy them.

Description

Here's the outrageous and hilarious comedy that matches one of America's hottest comics -- Ellen DeGeneres -- with handsome comedy favorite Bill Pullman (WHILE YOU WERE SLEEPING). Together, they deliver a riotously funny look at the agonizing dating games of the '90s! He seems like Martha's perfect dream date ... until he unexpectedly turns her hopeful search for Mr. Right into the nightmare of winding up with Mr. Wrong! With a first-rate cast and a hot hit soundtrack adding to the fun, critics and audiences nationwide couldn't stop laughing along with this sidesplitting comedy hit!

5 stars for Ellen but 3 stars for content.......2007-06-11

Ellen was a pretty good actress..she's great in stand-up but I was surprised at how well she acted...The story content was a little predictable but it was fun to watch...

Unfortunate choice of actors.......2007-05-14

I enjoyed the whole "romantic comedy gone wrong" theme, and the music was well thought out. Unfortunately, I dislike Bill Pullman as an actor (a purely personal thing, I'll admit), and I couldn't really take Ellen DeGeneres seriously as a bride - or as much else in the movie! Otherwise a good movie, but the "stars" ruined it for me.

An off beat comedy that grows on you...INGA RULES!!.......2007-02-04

When I first saw this in 96' I had high expectations but I was kinda let down a little. Now that I have watched again I really do like it. I think because I understand Ellen's comedy better that I did back then. All the off beat humor is fits Ellen and Bill Pullman just fine. My favorite character is Whitman's ex-gal INGA. Inga and her sidekick Bob are a dynomite duo....Especially gum in the hair....If you are an Ellen fan u will like this if you haven't seen it yet if your not an Ellen fan then you suck...just kidding!!!!

Fabulous Funny Movie!.......2006-08-29

I adored this film. There are so many neurotic, obsessive men out there who can seem pretty wonderful when you first meet them -- so MANY women have had some of the experiences in this film! I thought it was hysterical. I howled with laughter. Yes, it's a little over-the-top, but aren't most great comedies?

Wacky - Calling all girls with broken heart.......2006-02-28

If you are a female, feel frustrated about not meeting a nice guy and can't figure out "why me" - you have to see this one. I absolutely adore this movie. I am a product of the late 70's/early 80's and so many references in this movie were spot on. I think that this is absolutely the best movie that Joan Cussak has done and Bill Pullman really shows his comic acting ability. I was lucky enough to meet Bill Pullman personally, while working for a leading airlines, and he was a delight. He indicated that this was one of his favorite projects. Ellen is at a comic best, although knowing she does not date men, I had to try and put this out of my mind. I have seen it maybe 100 times and never tire of it. The soundtrack is fantastic to the movie. It really is genius. I know it is silly - and some of it is a far stretch... However, there is so many truths. Flo (Polly ?) from the sitcom Alice plays her mother, and the actress who plays Bill Pullmans Mom is fantastic. It is really a great feel good movie, and just when you think that a guy is all together (wealthy and handsome) you realize it isn't always how it seems... Do yourself a favor and enjoy this one. It is great!
