Summary: The Time of Your Life "DVD"
Comment: Great Movie Plenty of Great Characters.
We are "AVID" Movie collectors and have over 1200 titles and a few months ago had purchased "The time of Your Life" #865.
We finally tried to watch the DVD but found that three quarters of the way through the movie it lock up and will not play on any of the 5 DVD players we have, we put the disk in our computers and found that the video file is corrupted on the disk.
Needless to say we will not be buying any titles from "VINA Distributor" has from this point on. Plus the resolution is bad less that 640X480 "You must be joking".

Summary: heartwarming
Comment: I love this film - eccentric people show up at a bar in San Francisco - Cagney's character just watches them come and go, listens, helps them along. That's it. If you're looking for action - go elsewhere. The scene never leaves the bar. Originally a play by William Saroyan.
My favourite quote from the play/movie is "Living is an art, it's not bookkeeping. It takes an awful lot of rehearsal for a man to get to be himself." -

Summary: Interesting character study. Not the best movie though.
Comment: Just watched The Time of Your Life on DVD. I give it ** out of five stars.Things I'd never seen before:
-The opening credits as a dramatis personae, listing a description of the
character each actor plays.
-Pinball called the marble game.
What I liked about it:
-Jeanne Cagney - Did Jimmy force them to give her a contract? I had her in
the not like column, but she grew on me as the film went on.
-The tap dancer - Loved the political speech dance
-Kit Carson - Especially when he called Blick totally unreliable
-The marble player - loved the way you forget all about him until he wins
the game. Cool marble game
-The ritsy couple
-William Bendix - perfect as the bar owner
-Tough guy Blick. Very intimidating.
What I didn't like about it:
-At times it drug and made me think of a slow episode of Cheers or a tv
movie of Billy Joel's "Piano Man." Some good scenes, but not a very good
movie.
-Jimmy Cagney - Not at his best in a slow moving film. He's better in fast
talking, action sequences.
