3 out of 5 stars great serial, awful picture & sound.......2007-03-16

I know this DVD is cheap, but you certainly get what you pay for here. No restoration has been done on this 1934 serial, so we get very hissy, muffled sound and plenty of scratches and flecks etc on a washed-out, very rough-looking print. Oh and an alpha logo popping up on the chapter titles cards. The RHS text of some of the opening chapter summary cards is also cropped off.

This is the only DVD version available at the moment, so by all means buy it, but be prepared - you will certainly not benefit from DVD quality!

4 out of 5 stars Two for one!.......2007-06-16

OK, so maybe quality of the prints used isn't too crash hot but you are getting two great films for the price of one so you can't really complain. I had already seen Perils of Pauline on video and wanted to see the Stork Club. A good double to give to your mum or anyone who likes 1940s musicials (if they don't already have them.)

5 out of 5 stars An insufficiently appreciated beauty........2007-01-04

Betty Hutton is The WOW Girl. Annie Get Your Gun Proved that. Great looking and funny, she was (the lass is still living) a perfect comedy star. For awhile, she was the reigning queen of Hollywood. Let's not forget that. Her sad songs are softly whimsical. She's a doll and one of the very best.

Have you her her "Murder! He said!"? WOW! It's murder! (As is very good!)

5 out of 5 stars NEWLY REMASTERED RELEASE.......2006-12-13

Marengo Films is proud to announce the new release of these fine two Betty Hutton movies. We believe The Perils of Pauline is the finest print of this film on the market. The Stork Club has been extensively re-mastered with a complete sound design and color correction. This print was slightly worn and the work took several passes. However we believe with the effort we put out to restore the film you will find that it too is the best print of this fantastic movie on the market.

4 out of 5 stars Bursting With Energy.......2007-04-27

The Perils of Pauline is loosely based on the life of serial queen Pearl White (Betty Hutton), the girl who constantly triumphed against the villians, but only after many suspenseful stunts. She begins as a seamstress who breaks into the theater by accident. She proves to be too unprofessional for the stage and accidentally falls into the movies (where Snub Pollard and Chester Conklin make appearances). There she finds real fame doing dangerous stunts but longing for the man who antagonized her so much in the theater.

Somehow I can't imagine that White behaved this way, but Hutton certainly did, and she is the attraction here anyway. It really doesn't matter whether the biographical information is correct because the movie itself is so much fun.

There are several songs in the film, and Hutton shines in them, as musical performances were her true forte. First is "The Sewing Machine," an ode to the appliance that women were strapped to at the early part of the century. Next is her most animated and funny performance; she sings "Rumble, Rumble, Rumble" in a typical and great manner. "I Wish I Didn't Love You So" was nominated for an Academy award. It is slow, romantic and beautiful. Last is "Papa Don't Preach to Me," a lesser song in many ways, but very upbeat and showy.

5 out of 5 stars MAINTAINS BETTY HUTTON'S REPUTATION FOR ENERGY........2006-05-31

Enthusiastically ambulating throughout this charming and funny story of silent-film Hollywood, Betty Hutton depicts a mythlike Pearl White, framed by fascinating shots of prototypical movie-making. A romantic plot involving Betty and her princely co-star, John Lund, is developed in a leisurely fashion until the rather frenetic ending. Hutton's singing is often spectacular, as with her opening number, and enjoyment is developed as the viewer identifies early stars in this fine example of 40's cinema.

3 out of 5 stars Perilous Presentation.......2006-05-27

I had enjoyed Betty Hutton's and William Demarest's performances so much in "The Miracle of Morgan's Creek" that I was naturally drawn to "The Perils of Pauline" where the two were reunited in starring roles. The film is fast moving, breezy and exudes a certain level of charm in its fun, nostalgic presentation of the classic silent movie serials. Hutton is very good in her teary-eyed portrayal of Pearl White, (Pauline) and gives a spirited, if not over the top performance, particularly in the song sequences. The Frank Loesser songs are quite memorable as well, one even being nominated for an Academy Award. Billy DeWolfe is very enjoyable as the requisite kooky but good-hearted sidekick, especially when playing the teeth-gnashing villain in the filmed serials. Demarest seems a bit on the subdued side, particularly after seeing him in several Sturges pictures just prior to this one. John Lund also seems to walk through this picture, stiff as a stuffed shirt, (which, to be fair, is the nature of his character) but, unfortunately, Lund carries that rigidity over into his warmer more sincere moments as well, implying perhaps that the direction on this picture was slightly less than stellar. Overall this film clearly drives home the point that MGM and Fox led the way when it came to big, Technicolor musicals of this era. And, speaking of Technicolor, I need to mention that this transfer is actually quite "contrasty" and somewhat soft compared to other musicals of the era out on DVD. I also notice a good bit of digital "monkeying" with the picture, notably at the end of scenes and through the transitions when the picture would actually slow down, strobe or even freeze frame for a moment sometimes with a jarring and annoying effect. I would suspect that this transfer to DVD may have been made from a "dupe" print and the sub standard quality of the picture had a somewhat negative effect on my overall enjoyment of this otherwise sweet little musical comedy.

5 out of 5 stars I haven't seen this in so long!.......2006-05-10

I haven't seen this since,I think middle or high school on Ch.7 detroit.I bet Kim Possible,Ron Stoppable[finally he's going to get a sibling,this Season] and Rufuus can capture the bad guy and rescue the girl.
