I'm not going to eulogize the man and/or sink into politics but I do want to thank him for the great times he has given me over the years.

Recommended Reviewed by Glenn Erickson Universal grants the wishes of many film fans with its generous DVD 2-Movie Collection of Anne of the Thousand Days and Mary, Queen of Scots . Lavishly produced by veteran Hal Wallis, the films were heralded as justification for the new ratings system; the old Production Code did not tolerate 'mature' subjects such as murder, fornication and incest no matter...
