Movie Reviews of Parrish
Movie Review: parrish
Summary: 5 Stars
This DVD has been in this status for at least six months. What is the holdup? Why has this classic 1961 film not yet been recorded in DVD? Why has the status been not yet released suggesting that it is intended to be when the status hasn't changed in actually longer than six months? Are the producers just pulling our chain? Will somebody make a decision now! I think there has been enough stalling on moving on this. Make it a DVD now! It is better than the multitude of garbage I see today on DVD that linger on the rental shelfs for eternity. Anybody who knows great films and appreciates films throughout the era of filmmaking knows of this film and wants it on DVD. So act now and stop the indecisiveness that seems to have the producers in the grip of indecision. There are many more great films that should have by now been on DVD.
And, Why can't the producers make a complete version of the films recorded on DVD instead of their sham of placing the deleted scenes on another section of the disk calling it a extra feature when the real version would be the extra feature. I want the original uncut, entire undeleted version of the movie and not this scam feature that actually is a deleted artificial version of the true film. This a is borderline crime to movie watchers. What's up with these people who seem to want the original version for themselves to possibly make money on later.
It is done in the disguise of censorship. Most movies I am talking about children don't watch. Second, the undeleted version is shown in the theaters. There are deletions that are done before relesase into the public. Why is there not director's cuts on every movie made? This sounds like greed or ignorance in action. It is about money. Make the full film and skip the feature of deleted scenes on another section of the disk. This is disingenuious to all movie watchers.
I think "Parrish" has run into this because they are deciding which scenes to delete from the classic DVD because with the TV technology people will not have to see movies in theaters anymore when they can have a simulation of the theater in their home. Also they want to decide what scenes are deemed unsuitable for children when children won't watch them but even if they do, there are no unsuitable scenes. It's called don't let the people enjoy the movies, just think about how much more money they can make on them by reshowing the true uncut version in a movie theater later. These films will never be reshown in theaters again but later they can sell the true version and make people buy another copy, and they know people will buy another copy. This is conservative thoughtlessness in action. This is hypocrisy. Summing up we have inaction,ignorance, hypocrisy, greed and thoughtlessness, That sounds like the GOP, like many of those people with money. That's why "Parrish" is not on DVD yet.
Summary of Parrish
Their 1959 film A Summer Place meant love to a new generation. Two years later, writer/director and heartthrob Troy Donahue brought the passions and clashes of another best seller to the screen in Parrish. Donahue has the title role in this starry saga of life in the verdant Tobacco Valley. Parrish enters this "Million Dollar Mile" with only his name and his ambitions. He'll need little else traveling a rocky road to maturity and success. En route he'll have the support of his mother (Claudette Colbert in her last big-screen role), the devoted love of a farm girl (Connie Stevens), the counsel of a savvy grower (Dean Jagger) and confrontation with ruthless tycoon Judd Raike (Karl Malden). Raike may control the valley -- but might not be able to stop an iron-willed youth on the move.Similar DVD Movies
