List all 26 stars
The musical film version of the broadway play stars Fred Astaire.

Musical remake of the 1939 classic film NINOTCHKA featuring songs by Cole Porter.

Musical remake of the 1939 classic film NINOTCHKA. An alluring, but aloof, female Communist (Cyd Charisse) visits Paris on an assignment to evaluate three Russian officials. But when she meets a charming U.S. filmmaker (Fred Astaire) there, her perspective on the world changes -- and the chilly bureaucrat soon finds herself melting in his arms. And it's not long before she's enjoying such decadent western pleasures as jazz, makeup, and silk stockings. The classic Cole Porter songs include "Too Bad", "Paris Loves Lovers", "Silk Stockings", and "Fated to be Mated".

The last film of director Rouben Mamoulian.

This is the only Belita video.

Average Rating: (3.5 out of 5 stars) 3.5 stars

4 stars Fred warms Siberian Cyd
Cyd Charisse could seem a little aloof or remote in some roles. Her upright, ballet-trained deportment and reserve made her perfect for the role of the fridgid Ninotchka in this amusing, colourful remake. Some of the Cold War jokes have dated, but Cole Porter's music and lyrics are great. In the movie Cyd tells Fred: "You go, go, go but you don't get anywhere." Of course, in the end, Fred does!

3 stars Ordinary
I don't like Cyd Charisse but she is a good dancer. Fred was starting to get too old by this time but he still has style and charisma to carry it off.

Aguirre, The Wrath Of God DVD  (1973)

Silk Stockings film
DVD $12.85  4 stars Top 500
Based on the journals of Brother Gaspar de Carvajal, AGUIRRE, THE WRATH OF GOD is director Werner Herzog's hallucinatory tale of Spanish colonialists searching for El Dorado, the legendary city of gold, in 16th-century Peru. When the travellers reach an impasse, a scouting party is assembled to search for any traces of the mythical empire. As they attempt to forge their way through the dense jungle, more and more of the party falls ill while their ruthless leader, Don Lope de Aguirre (Klaus Kinski), grows increasingly insane. Widely considered to be Herzog's finest film, AGUIRRE, which shares much in common with Francis Ford Coppola's APOCALYPSE NOW, highlights the director's visionary approach to filmmaking. Like Coppola's film, accounts of ...

Silk Stockings DVD
DVD $7.09  2 stars
Based on real events, STARKWEATHER tells the story of the teenage serial killer whose brutal killing spree inspired the films BADLANDS, NATURAL BORN KILLERS, TRUE ROMANCE, and KALIFORNIA. Before the world had ever heard of now-notorious serial killers Ted Bundy, Charles Manson, or Jeffrey Dahmer, 16-year-old Charles Starkweather and his 14-year-old girlfriend sent Americans into a state of panic, killing 11 people in the states of Nebraska and Wyoming. In 1957, a 16-year-old Starkweather left his job as a garbageman to embark on a deadly road trip that lacked any apparent motives. When caught, Starkweather showed no remorse for his actions, and was eventually sentenced to death. In an era when public figures of youthful rebellion like Elvis Presley and James Dean filled the airwaves and the movie screens, Starkweather was seen as a threat not only to the public's safety, but also to the larger social order. This is the story of America's most notorious teenage killer. In the tradition of Monster comes Starkweather, the original natural born killer. ...

Directed by Hiroshi Negishi (TENCHI MUYO, BURN UP W), the sci-fi anime series DIVERGENCE EVE imagines the future as a high-tech space opera marked by intergalactic space travel and well-endowed female peacekeepers. Sometime during the 21st century, humanity discovered a way to traverse the universe by slipping through portals that lead into parallel dimensions. Three hundred years later, space travel has become a safe, and even routine event until an army of robot aliens known as Ghouls launches a series of attacks against the outpost portal Watcher's Nest--prompting the government to send in a group of busty, scantily-clad police cadets to combat the alien menace. Brightly animated and playfully titillating, this second volume includes four more episodes of the racy anime series. Murder, mayhem and mystery hurl the young heroes of Watcher's Nest into an epic adventure ...
