Natalie Wood Collection (DVD)
SPLENDOR IN THE GRASS Natalie Wood and Warren Beatty are young lovers ripped apart by the repressive small-town mentality of 1920's Kansas. SEX AND THE SINGLE GIRL Helen Gurley Brown’s book shoved aside, title used to exploit fairly amusing tale of smut-magazine editor, Tony Curtis wooing notorious female psychologist, Natalie Wood. INSIDE DAISY CLOVER Daisy Clover is a 15 year old Tomboy who dreams of being a Hollywood star - and succeeds! After becoming the toast of Hollywood, Daisy must then come to terms with her new found fame and the 1930's Hollywood star treatment. GYPSY (Deluxe Edition) Everything comes up roses when you let Rosalind Russell, Natalie Wood and Karl Malden entertain you in the lavish movie musical of the Broadway hit about Gypsy Rose Lee and her formidable mother. BOMBERS B-52 A love story between army pilot Efrem Zimbalist, Jr. and Natalie Wood, despite the objections of Ms. Wood’s sergeant father. Riveting aerial footage of jet plane maneuvers. CASH MCCALL James Garner is a capitalist in the grip of merger mania, and Natalie Wood is the woman he wants and the daughter of the man whose company he seeks to acquire.]]>

Title: All of the best
Review: This bundle has all the Natalie Wood movies my mom wanted. Granted they're not Blu-ray, but the regular DVD version just adds to the charm of these classics. She loves this set.

Title: Lightning rod for issues of sex and marriage
Review: Gorgeous Natalie Wood was a huge star in the late 50s and early 60s, and she became a lightning rod for issues of sex and marriage at a time when the sexual revolution was just starting and these issues were coming out of the shadows.Without a doubt, the most important movie in the set is "Splendor in the Grass", a top drawer classic directed by Elia Kazan. Not only is this Natalie Wood's finest role, period, but Warren Beatty premiered in this movie and he hit the ground running. This is a bittersweet Romeo and Juliet story about family and peer relationships that remains relevant for all time, and it moves so quickly and passionately to tell it's ironic and poignant story. Kazan's economy of storytelling is most unusual and quite literary, especially by today's standards. The story structure and editing are as tight as any film ever made, and nothing ever, ever gets bogged down.Pat Hingle as Bud's overbearing father is unforgettable. There are so many great character actors from the period, but an often overlooked one is Kermit Murdock as Dean Pollard (at Yale), who finds himself sandwiched in between the father's desires and those of Bud. As the story moves forward, Bud's father becomes increasingly desperate to maintain control of Bud, but instead loses control of his own life. That confrontation between Ace Stamper and Dean Pollard in the Dean's office very nicely juxtaposes the 1929 stock crash with the clash over academic goals. "What's the matter with people?" Ace says, even as his own irrationality is quite apparent.Cash McCall is another movie in the set, with James Garner as a millionaire industrialist. The whole movie is about mergers and takeovers in the television manufacturing business. Natalie plays Cash McCall's love interest, and once again the sexual mores of the early 60's bring on shades of shame, embarassment and conscience which you will seldom find today.Aside from the beautiful Natalie Wood, and James Garner in the prime of his career, the full bevy of character actors in Cash McCall are almost more fun to watch than the lead actors.Roland Winters as General Danvers specializes in avuncular mischief and rank indignation. Edward Platt (George Kaplan's attorney from North by Northwest) is fascinating to watch, even with a toupee on his head. And Parley Baer, E. G. Marshall, Olan Soule, and Dean Jagger are also terrific to see in this fresh and vital look at American industry in it's heyday. What I'd like to know is what the heck happened to American manufacturing of domestic products like televisions? And why did all the money and man power end up going into government and military technologies?You might find part of the answer in the third movie in the set, Bombers B-52, a post-Korean War epic, brought to you through the courtesy of the Military-Industrial Complex, starring Natalie, Karl Malden, and Efrem Zimbalist, Jr. It is the earliest release of the movies in the set, with a gorgeous, elegiac score by Leonard Rosenman.The story of a father and a suitor who battle for Natalie's love dovetails somewhat awkwardly with the B-52, the massive aircraft which is an icon-like technology presence in the movie. While Efrem Zimbalist falls in love with Natalie, the audience is supposed to fall in love with the B-52.The footage of the enormous B-52 is impressive and ideally suited to the massively wide Cinemascope format, and obviously Warner Bros and the Air Force worked hand in hand to bring us this ode to military technology and Cold War supremacy.Efrem and Natalie are really good, but Karl Malden as Master Mechanic Sergeant Chuck V. Brennan, the righteous man with all the tools, truth, and integrity, is generally annoying and more or less weighs the movie down.Yet for all it's flaws and a campy story that plods along, I like this movie because it evokes the 50's and the Cold War so well. It recalls a time, almost forgotten, when fighting the Commies was just about what everybody drew their next breath for. And when, after ten years of the Great Depression and almost as many years of war and scary conflict, luxurious material things were a real novelty and something to appreciate and even discuss.Inside Daisy Clover is a well-produced but peculiar tale of stardom, with a most unsatisfying ending. A miscreant, disobedient "flower-child" of the 30's, Clover (Natalie) is adopted by a Hollywood movie mogul, played wonderfully by Christopher Plummer in his usual smug and self-confident mold, but the movie somehow lobotomizes Miss Clover's transformation into a star. That most important part of her metamorphosis is neatly left out of the story! She is pulled off the street, and the next thing we know, she appears at her movie premiere in a full length gown, with thousands of fans, yet not quite sure why she is there.Natalie, Plummer, and Robert Redford are cool to watch, but the story is really weird. Nevertheless, this is an entertaining, if bizarre, film. Some parts of it are pretty good.The 5th movie in the set, "Gypsy", I found unwatchable because I can't tolerate most musicals -- mostly because I find in musicals formalized obsessive-compulsive behavior. But when an actor starts singing -- forget it, I just completely lose my suspension of disbelief.On to the final movie in the set, "Sex and The Single Girl", a comedy starring Natalie and Tony Curtis. Natalie runs a sex and love research institute and Tony is a reporter from a tabloid magazine trying to discredit her methods, ostensibly by pretending to seek help from her with his own love life. The Neil Hefti score, the costumes, the locations, and the generally silly mood date this movie to exactly 1964.Henry Fonda and Lauren Bacall are embarassingly bad as a disharmonious middle-aged couple, but I guess they're SUPPOSED to be bad. Now Tony and Natalie -- they're something else.Tony Curtis is kind of a sleazy stand-in for Cary Grant, but on the other hand, he's perfect for this role, and very handsome fodder for Natalie, who is at her luscious best.But the madcap craziness will get excessive at times, especially the big "car chase" sequence at the end of the movie, with it's nutty dual-floating-cars-in-front-of-a-rear-projection-screen-with-dialogue shots. If you don't mind the excessive and vapid zaniness, Sex and The Single Girl is a very entertaining bit of silly fluff that takes itself pretty seriously.

Title: Natalie Wood Collection
Review: I have always been a fan of Natalie Wood. She is a brilliant actress. I watched Sex and the Single Girl years ago and thoroughly enjoyed it. It is a funny movie. Bombers B-52 was not one of the more popular movies but it was a good movie. It is one of those hard-to-find movies and is included in thise set. Splender In The Grass is another of her better movies. Gypsy is another of her great movies. I have not watched Inside Daisy Clover. I highly recommend this set and on Amazon, it is certainly reasonable in price. Almost everyone else wants twice this price.

Title: NATALIE WOOD TRIBUTE: A MIXED BAG
Review: Natalie Wood definitely deserves a tribute. This DVD box set, comprised of movies she made for Warner Brothers studio, is definitely a mixed bag. No one will argue that "Bombers B-52" or "Cash McCall" are especially memorable, or among Natalie's best work. That leaves us with two classics ("Splendor In The Grass" and "Gypsy"), one silly farce ("Sex And The Single Girl") and one oddity that is interesting and worthwhile ("Inside Daisy Clover"). "Splendor In The Grass" (1961) is easily the best film in this box set, and probably the quintessential Natalie Wood film. Deanie and Bud (Natalie Wood and Warren Beatty) are in love, but her mother (Audrey Christie) tells her that "nice girls don't enjoy sex." Deanie is confused, especially with the example of Bud's promiscuous and free-spirited sister Jenny (Barbara Loden) before her. Bud wants to stay on the family farm and marry Deanie, but his overbearing father (Pat Hingle) wants him to go to Harvard. Deanie's sexual repression leads to a dangerous suicide attempt at a waterfall (Natalie did the frightening swimming scene herself) and mental breakdown. Natalie, who received an Oscar nomination, is an appealing mixture of poignancy and strength, and Warren Beatty is quite impressive in his film debut. "Splendor" holds up extremely well. If you don't believe me, just watch the terrible TV remake from the 1980's with Melissa Gilbert, mis-cast and totally out of her depth, in Natalie's role. The original, with Natalie, is a classic. (5 Stars). 1961 was an excellent year, professionally, for Natalie. Following "Splendor," she gave another beautiful performance, as Maria in the Oscar winning smash mega-hit "West Side Story." "Gypsy" (1962): After having her vocals dubbed by Marni Nixon in "West Side Story", Natalie's singing is all her own in this film version of the Broadway classic. Natalie is perfect as Louise Hovac, whether as a tomboy, dressed in baggy clothes with a page-boy haircut, or later, all woman, sexily stripping off as sophisticated Gypsy Rose Lee. Rosalind Russell is just fine (with vocal help from Lisa Kirk) as her ambitious, driven, and delusional, Mama Rose. I certainly did not miss the hideous Broadway hag known as Ethel Merman. (4 Stars out of 5)."Sex And The Single Girl" (1964) Tony Curtis, working for a smutty tabloid magazine, is determined to prove that Natalie Wood, as "sexpert" Dr. Helen Brown, is actually (Gasp!) a virgin! Whether she is or not is never anwered.This ridiculous sex farce soon runs out of steam and becomes a slapstick farce, with a wildly prolonged car chase on the freeway. (3 Stars Out of 5). "Inside Daisy Clover" (1965) By age 26, Natalie Wood is too adult to be entirely convincing as a 15 year old "child singing star", but she does have the Hollywood credentials. The page boy haircut that worked so well in "Gypsy" does not work so well for "Daisy Clover." Daisy is supposed to be a singing sensation, in the mode of a teenage Judy Garland. Natalie's vocals are dubbed by another lady again. Marni Nixon's dubbing for Natalie in "West Side Story" was well-done. The dubbing for Natalie in "Daisy" (not Marni Nixon) is bad...well, honestly, awful!Everything else about the film seems a bit off, too. Gavin Lambert's script veers wildly between macabre black comedy, satire, and melodrama. The best performances are given by Robert Redford as Wade Lewis, the "closeted" gay matinee idol who encourages Daisy's rebellious nature, marries her, and promptly abandons her; and an especially effective and creepy Christopher Plummer as "Prince Of Darkness" movie mogul Raymond Swan. In Natalie's best scene, she has an altogether too convincing and frightening nervous breakdown inside a recording booth. The overall film is uneven, but worthwhile and interesting, nevertheless.(3 Stars Out of 5).

Review: Ce coffret des plus attractifs offre la possibilité de retrouver la si expressive Nathalie Wood disparue tragiquement en 1981. Outre deux films déjà édités en France le bouleversant Splendour in the grass (1961) d'Elia Kazan (où elle campe aux côtés de Warren Beatty une jeune amoureuse rendue folle par les conventions étouffantes de son époque) et Inside Daisy Clover (1966) de Robert Mulligan, réflexion douce amer sur le star système, le coffret permet de découvrir aussi la comédie musicale lourdingue Gypsy (1962) qui s'avère un peu assommante la faute au cabotinage de Rosalind Russel et le charmant Sex and the city girl (en français une vierge sur le canapé) qui s'inscrit dans la tradition des grandes comédies romantiques mettant en scène Rock Hudson et Doris Day. Présentés dans de belles copies (à l'exception notoire de Gypsy intitulé sous nos latitudes La vénus de Broadway) il est à noter que les films ne présentent ni pistes ni sous-titres français.

Review: Natalie Wood was a successful child actress, she moved into adult films with ease and continued to be successful as a teen and a young adult. This Collection of Films shows her as a young adult and her progress as she became a woman. Cash McCall - also starring James Garner, is a Donald Trump of days gone by. He gets the company and the girl, Natalie Wood despite the concern of her father.Bombers B-52 is similar as the protaganist is also her father, Karl Malden, as she loves a hot shot pilot her Dad dislikes, Jim Herilhy, Efrem Zimbalist Jr., the girl on the edge of desire!!Inside Daisy Clover is the dark side of Hollywood in the very early days of film. Natalie is made a rising star by Christopher Plummer and marries a very young up and coming Robert Redford but after being deserted on her honeymoon returns home and takes charge of her own life!Splendor in the Grass is charged with electricity between Natalie and young Warren Beatty, their passion was so real it ended her first marriage with Robert Wagner. It takes place during the 1920s and they go thru the crash of 1929. The cast of this film has so many future stars it is a must see film.Gypsy is dynamite, it is based on a story by Gypsy Rose Lee about her rise to fame, not accurate but a great story!! The songs, dancing, and costumes are fantastic!! Rosalind Russell is the Stage Mother of them all! Karl Malden the tag along would be father, Natalie the work horse that accidentally becomes a star when their luck is running out! She comes to terms with her domineering mother in the end! Everything's Coming Up Roses!!!Sex and the Single Girl - a romp with Natalie playing Helen Gurley Brown the women who launched Cosmopolitan Magazine and believed in the sexual freedom of young women - Tony Curtis is the nemesis of a Men's magazine that wants to bring her down, Lauren Bacall and Henry Ford are friends whose marital problems add to the excitment. There is a great 60s car chase for a climax! This Collection gives you great love, drama, romance, fun and excitment!! Other fims I would recommend are: Marjorie Morningstar The Great Race (Widescreen)Rebel Without a Cause Love With Proper Stranger (B&W)

Review: This is worth owning for 'Gypsy' alone, presented here in the original aspect ratio. You'll also have 'Splendour in the Grass', which is superb, deeply engaging, and with a beautiful music score; also 'Inside Daisy Clover', which features Natalie giving it her best accompanied by a great Andre Previn score. The weakest film is 'Sex and the Single Girl', not a patch on Doris Day and Rock Hudson, but 'Cash McCall and 'Bombers B52' are very watchable.The movies are beautifully presented, blemish-free in their original ratios. The extras are odd: Looney Tunes from the same year as the movies. A shame there wasn't any relevant material, then this boxed set would be even better,If you're a natlie Wood fan, you shouldn't think twice about getting this. If you're just browsing and have a little money burning a hole in your pocket, treat yourself! 'Gypsy' is tremendous fun, and 'Splendour in the Grass' is very moving.

Review: Diese DVD Box aus England enthält vier Filme der Hollywood-Legende Natalie Wood. "Splendor in the Grass" (Fieber im Blut) ist ein in jeder Hinsicht meisterhaftes Melodram über eine Liebe mit Hindernissen zwischen Teenagern in den 1920ern. Die Bildqualität ist gut, einen deutschen Ton oder deutsche Untertitel sucht man jedoch leider vergeblich. "Gypsy" ist produktionstechnisch ein eher mittelmäÃiges Musical. Natalie Wood verwandelt sich in dem Film jedoch überzeugend vom Mauerblümchen zum erfolgreichen Stripper-Star. Die Bildqualität ist nicht gerade gut. Auch ist entgegen den Angaben auf der Box nur eine englische Tonspur mit möglichen englischen Untertiteln vorhanden!"Sex and the Single Girl" ist eine hervorragend besetzte Liebeskomödie, die viel Unterhaltung bietet. Die Bildqualität ist gut, eine deutsche Tonspur ist vorhanden. Allerdings wurde der Film für das deutsche Publikum seinerzeit geschnitten, so dass in dieser Version gerade zum Ende des Films kurze Passagen im Originalton sind."Inside Daisy Clover" handelt von den Abgründen einer Hollywood-Karriere - solide gemacht, mit durchweg sehr guten Darstellern und einigen rabenschwarzen, bizarren Einfällen. Die Bildqualität ist gut. Eine deutsche Tonspur ist zwar vorhanden. Der Film wurde jedoch für das deutsche Publikum stark geschnitten, so dass man immer wieder vom Originalton "überrascht" wird.Trotz leichter Abstriche handelt es sich hier um eine insgesamt empfehlenswerte Box in der Natalie Wood mit ihrem schauspielerischem Talent insgesamt glänzt.
