Harlow 101 - Nice Intro to the Movie Legend But Disappointing for True Fans, Dec 29 2010
By Tee - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: TCM Greatest Classic Legends: Jean Harlow (DVD)
I'm giving this set a qualified five stars because the movies are wonderful as of course is their star, the legendary Jean Harlow. This is a wonderful introduction to one of the movies' greatest stars and pioneering sex symbols, as well as one of the best comediennes of alltime. The bad news is ALL FOUR of these movies are already available on DVD when there's well over a dozen other Harlow movies sitting in the MGM vaults that badly need to be released!! Jean had major roles in about 23 films before her tragic death at age 26 in 1937 yet only these, RED HEADED WOMAN (in a pre-code set), Universal's HELL'S ANGELS, WB's THE PUBLIC ENEMY, and Columbia's PLATINUM BLONDE have been commercially released on DVD to date!! That's a major disgrace, she's perhaps the biggest movie star of all who has been so poorly represented on dvd.And what a slap in the face to Harlow fans who have kept this star's flame alive for over 70 years - March 2011 will be the 100th anniversary of Jean Harlow's birth. Some birthday present!!! Shame on you Warner Bros. (who now has the rights to the vintage MGMs) when it comes to Jean Harlow you are almost as bad as the notorious Universal handling of the vintage Paramount catalog!
If you have never seen Jean Harlow in action and want to know what all the fuss is about, by all means grab this collection. DINNER AT EIGHT is perhaps Jean's most legendary film and her comic barbs are as delicious as the bon bons she munches on. Equally delightful is the comedy LIBELED LADY which was nominated for the Best Picture Academy Award in 1936. CHINA SEAS is a roaring comedy/adventure on the high seas with Jean's greatest leading man Clark Gable; WIFE VS. SECRETARY offers Harlow, Gable, and Myrna Loy too in a pleasant little lowkey "women's picture" drama whose title tells all. This movie is particularly admired by many Harlow buffs for her successful casting against type as the gentle, quiet secretary who fights her feelings for boss Gable.
Much as Harlowheads resent WB's lame offering for a "first" Harlow DVD set I suggest buying it, especially if you don't have any of these wonderful movies. Maybe if it sells through the roof it will knock some sense into their heads and Jean Harlow will then get the deluxe boxed set a star of her legendary status truly deserves.

This review is from: TCM Greatest Classic Legends: Jean Harlow (DVD)
How can you go wrong with Harlow and when the weakest movie is "Libeled Lady" you have one of the best collections around.
Listmania!
