Editorial Product Review: :A smart and savvy (albeit highly stylized) look at the single lives of four thirtysomething Manhattan women, Sex and the City: The Complete Second Season builds on the foundation of its first season with plot arcs that are both hilarious and heartfelt, taking the show from breakout hit to true pop-culture phenomenon. Relationship epiphanies coexist happily alongside farcical plots and zingy one-liners, resulting in emotionally satisfying episodes that feature the sharp kind of character-defining dialogue that seems to have disappeared from the rest of ...
Editorial Product Review: :Now you can achieve multiple viewings of the best Sex on TV. Winner of Golden Globes for Best TV Series and Best Actress, Sex and the City is based on Candace Bushnell's provocative bestselling book. Sarah Jessica Parker stars as Carrie Bradshaw, a self-described 'sexual anthropologist,' who writes 'Sex and the City,' a newspaper column that chronicles the state of sexual affairs of Manhattanites in this 'age of un-innocence.' Her 'posse,' including nice girl Charlotte (Kristin Davis), hard-edged Miranda (Cynthia Nixon), and party girl ...
Editorial Product Review: :Anglophiles and Britcom aficionados will welcome the video of this delightful 1974 series based on the books by Charlotte Bingham. Happily, the sparkling dialogue and engaging characters wear much better than the actors' horribly dated '70s wardrobes. John Alderton and his real-life wife, Pauline Collins, star as C.D. and Clara, the George Burns and Gracie Allen of Hampstead, right down to the 'Say goodnight, Clara' that closes each episode. This boxed set contains the first seven episodes of the series. Episode 1 sets the ...
Editorial Product Review: :This earthy, down-in-the-excrement adaptation of Stella Gibbons's 1932 popular comic novel stars Sarah Badel as Flora Poste, who at the tender age of 19 loses her parents to the Spanish plague. Flora has been left 100 pounds a year, which, her friend notes, 'won't keep her in stockings and furs.' 'Possessed of every art and grace save that of earning her own living,' she sends letters to her relatives asking to be taken in. Her plan, she states, 'is to alter his or her ...
Editorial Product Review: :What a trio of movies in this boxed set: three of Audrey Hepburn's best performances in three of her best films. In Breakfast at Tiffany's, she is perfectly cast as Holly Golightly, Truman Capote's prevaricating heroine who has forgotten her past to create a more interesting present--and Blake Edwards's film version is both beguiling and sad. In Sabrina she is ideal as the chauffeur's daughter who comes back from Paris looking a lot better than when she left--and attracting the attention of a pair ...

Editorial Product Review: :Real-life spouses John Alderton and Pauline Collins return as C.D. and Clara, the Burns and Allen of Hampstead, in the final six episodes of this beloved, albeit a tad dated, 1975 British comedy. The first seven episodes, collected in the first set, recalled the comically confused courtship of this mismatched but star-crossed couple. In these episodes, C.D., an actor, and Clara, a children's book writer, flash back on their first year of marriage. Not to worry: unlike, say, Mad About You, this is no ...
Editorial Product Review: :Nunsense The Little Sisters of Hoboken, residents of Mt. St. Helens Convent and teachers at the school, have a problem. It seems Sister Julia (Child of God) has accidentally killed off 52 sisters with a botulism-laced vichyssoise. But even worse, the remaining nuns only had enough cash to bury 48 of the dearly departed; the other four are in the freezer. Nunsense is a benefit concert staged by the Little Sisters to raise money for a proper burial (before the health inspector comes). Mother ...
Editorial Product Review: :The Diamond Collection consists of five Marilyn Monroe films plus the documentary The Final Days. Bus Stop (1956) stars Monroe as a singer who finds herself trapped at a bus stop in the middle of nowhere during a blizzard.
