I'm a Maisie fan!
If you're a Maisie fan, as I am, you will enjoy having the Maisie series on DVD. I know...we would much prefer it not be on DVD-R, but it's much better than not having it at all. I waited years for these entertaining movies to be released to the public, and I was so happy when they were. All the DVD-R movies are highly priced, and these are not an exception. But, since there are five movies the price isn't too bad right now at about $54 ($10.80 per movie). The quality of the DVD-R is very good. The picture is clear and crisp, and the sound is also good. The movies are humorous, dramatic at times, and often teach a lesson on life. Ann Southern is lovable as Maisie. I'm so glad I now own these movies. Now I'll have to save up my money to buy the second set. I hope you'll love them too.
Have waited years to see these
All the films have the same basic plot, just different supporting casts. Maisie is on her own, usually broke & out of work show girl. She meets a man who wants nothing to do with her but because of her honesty, integrity, strength, spunk & willingness to stand up for herself they fall in love & all ends well. These were B pictures, the bottom half of a double feature. Made at MGM at it's height but with second string writers, directors, costumers, etc. So, why the five stars you're asking? Beacuse of Ann Sothern. She's a delight. Absolutly unique star, personality, persona, what have you. The films may not be classics but she was a classic & a joy to watch. I will definately be buying the Vol. 2 set.
Maisie starring Ann Sothern
Ann Sothern was one of our great actresses. When she starred as Maisie she was named one of the most beautiful women in the world. SHE COULD DO IT ALL - act, sing and dance! What a performer! These Maisie movies are terrific. The oscar nominated actress is wonderful as Maisie!!!!! If you love Ann read the poem about her in the book, FACES AND SEASONS by Stephen Baldridge-Louck on amazon.com
