Customer Reviews of The Magnificent Yankee
Louis Calhern Was A Giant Of American Stage and Screen "The Magnificent Yankee" is an acting tour-de-force by Louis Calhern, whose long, distinguished career began in 1921 as a matinee idol and culminated in his masterful character roles in the years before his untimely death in 1956. A Shakespearean actor whose work on the legitimate stage was lauded by fans and critics alike, Calhern portrays the estimable Holmes with a measured balance of wit, sensitivity, and intellectuality. Calhern's silky voice, debonair demeanor, and commanding presence are legendary, and were used to particlularly grand effect in this great film. Highly recommended---I hope it will be transferred to DVD. It's a shame so many young people nowadays have no clue about such master thespians as Louis Calhern. Since his films were devoid of blatant sex and vulgarity, and their plots required actual thought, I fear "The Magnificent Yankee" may never be transferred to DVD. There is probably not enough interest among the "deep" and "sophisticated" movie fans of contemporary popular "culture." However, for those of you who still appreciate great films and truly talented actors, purchase this classic film. You'll be glad you did.
