MGM Greatest Moments
Years ago I purchased a VHS called MGM Greatest Moments which included many of the musicals, dramas, and comedies. But one section was devoted to MGM's love of classic literature such as David Copperfield, The Pride and the Prejudice, Goodbye Mr. Chips, A Tale of Two Cities, Little Women, The Good Earth, etc. Roddy McDowell hosted it, and it was basically a sales pitch to intice viewers into buying the collection. Does anyone know what I am talking about? It is a wonderful photoplay of all the great MGM films. Sometimes I just sit and watch that instead of a movie.
I haven't seen that one either but I did find one the other day called "100 Years of the Movies Most Passionate Kisses" which of course grabbed my attention immediately. Classic screen kisses are my forte. I live and die for them. The video is hosted by Lauren Bacall. I've yet to watch it but it's issued by TBS Home Entertainment so I strongly assume because it's Turner, that it's primarily hot and steamy scenes from M-G-M and Warners films ...
Issued in 1992 ... I hope my TV doesn't melt when I play it ...

I absolutely adore movies. Even bad ones. I don't like pretentious ones, but a good bad movie, you must admit, is great. ~ Roddy McDowell

^ Wow. You think you know a person, and then they totally surprise you.

But then, who am I to talk, Valentino Groupie Extraordinaire....
Anyway, sounds like an interesting video. I didn't even know it existed, but I'd be interested in what they had to say.
What does Lauren Bacall do? Rate them?
