The Perils of Pauline - $14.99 The third of four films bearing the title of The Perils of Pauline, this musical biopic purports to tell the life story of famed silent serial queen Pearl White. Right at the beginning, however, an introductory title informs the audience that what follows is merely “suggested” by incidents in White’s life and career. Translation: The film is a fabrication from beginning to end, but an enjoyable one. Played on all four cylinders by Betty Hutton, White is introduced as a frustrated factory worker who aspires to become a dramatic actress. She joins a touring theatrical troupe managed by handsome but pompous Mike (John Lund), but fame and fortune elude her because she’s unable to suppress her natural rambunctiousness. In desperation, White takes a job at a movie studio, where she promptly finds herself in the middle of a slapstick pie fight. With the help of bombastic director Mac (William Demarest), top-hatted villain portrayer Timmy (Billy De Wolfe), and imperious dramatics coach Julia (Constance Collier), Pearl soon becomes world-famous as the star of such cliffhanging, tied-to-the-railroad-tracks serials as The Perils of Pauline (hence the title of this film). At the height of her fame, she arranges for her theatrical mentor Mike to get a job as her leading man, forcing him to swallow his pride and admit that he’s been in love with her from the moment he met her. A series of clich?d complications contrive to separate White and Mike, but he returns to her arms when she’s seriously injured during a Parisian stage performance. A few fairly credible recreations of silent moviemaking techniques aside, The Perils of Pauline is wildly anachronistic and inaccurate (for one thing, Pearl White made most of her serials in New Jersey rather than Hollywood). As a musical comedy, however, the film passes muster, especially during the performance of such Frank Loesser tunes as “I Wish I Didn’t Love You So” and “The Sewing Machine.” As a bonus, the film rounds up several silent-movie veterans in cameo roles, including William Farnum, Chester Conklin, Jimmy Finlayson, Creighton Hale, Hank Mann — and Paul Panzer, who played the sneering villain in the original 1914 Perils of Pauline. ~ All Movie Guide |

Perils of Pauline 1-12 – B&W $6.99 Includes:Perils of Pauline [Serial] (1934) Perils of Pauline [Serial] The 1934 Universal serial The Perils of Pauline borrows the title and very little else from the pioneering Pearl White chapter play of 1914. This time around, Pauline (Evelyn Knapp) is the daughter of a prominent scientist (James Durkin). When daddy heads to Indochina to search for the formula to a deadly gas, Pauline dutifully tags along. So does villain John Davidson and his battalion of henchmen. Pauline is rescued from certain doom at every turn by hero Robert Allen and by unfunny comic relief Sonny Ray. The 12-episode Perils of Pauline makes excellent use of standing sets from such previous Universal efforts as The Old Dark House and The Mummy. ~ Hal Erickson, All Movie Guide |

Stork Club/The Perils of Pauline - $8.99 Includes:The Stork Club (1945) The Perils of Pauline (1947) The Stork Club The Stork Club, the famed New York nightspot immortalized by columnist Walter Winchell (in return for special favors from its owners), is the setting for this typically brash Betty Hutton musical. Hutton plays a young hat check girl who rescues an elderly tramp (Barry Fitzgerald) from drowning. The old bum turns out to be a millionaire, and expresses his gratitude by setting up Hutton in luxury–asking for nothing in return. Hutton’s boyfriend Don DeFore suspects hanky panky, but all is forgiven during the obligatory floor show. There are rumors that the Stork Club itself financed The Stork Club as a feature-length commercial. Whatever the case, ownership of the film was cloudy enough to allow it to slip into the public domain in 1982, which explains why Stork Club seems to be running 24 hours a day on cable TV. ~ Hal Erickson, All Movie Guide The Perils of Pauline The third of four films bearing the title of The Perils of Pauline, this musical biopic purports to tell the life story of famed silent serial queen Pearl White.

Perils of the Jungle – B&W $5.99 Animal trainer/circus impresario Clyde Beatty stars in this Lippert Studios adventure quickie. Beatty heads to Africa (courtesy of stock footage and a process screen) to capture a few Nubian lions. He runs up against white hunters who wish to kill rather than tame these proud beasts. Beatty is aided in his “humanitarian” mission by Phyllis Coates, the erstwhile “Lois Lane” of the early Superman episodes who later returned to the back-lot wilderness for the Republic serial Jungle Drums of Africa (1953). Running slightly less than an hour Perils of the Jungle looks suspiciously like two half-hour TV pilots strung together. ~ Hal Erickson, All Movie Guide |

The Further Perils of Laurel and Hardy - $12.99 The second of Robert Youngson’s compilations of the silent comedies of Stan Laurel and Oliver Hardy, The Further Perils of Laurel & Hardy suffers a bit from too much repetition and gee-whiz obvious narration. Still, the vignettes offered herein are first-rate, as fresh and funny as they were when first released seven decades ago. Among the L&H shorts represented in this collection are Do Detectives Think and Sugar Daddies, two 1927 releases made before Stan and Ollie were an official team. We are also treated to generous portions of such rib-tickling 2-reelers as Should Married Men Go Home? (1928), Early to Bed (1928), That’s My Wife (1929) and Angora Love (1929). The film is rounded out with choice selections from the work of such Hal Roach contractees as Charley Chase, Jean Harlow and Snub Pollard. ~ Hal Erickson, All Movie Guide |
