Customer Review: surprisingly terrible!
Well, this is just to say that I was surprised by how boring (and seemingly uninformative) this book is! The title really grabbed my attention and I love anthropology (especially cultural anthropology). However, for whatever reason, it just didn’t do anything for me. In fact, it did LESS than anything for me! (there’s another fifty dollars forever gone)…
Customer Review: gooses review
this book was boring. Evrything in here was either stuff you could look up in the dictonary and that you wouldn’t need to because the terms went by other words as well, or common sense that you would know by guessing. This book reads similar to books made in the era of black and white television whos goals were to dispense facts and not to entertain thus saving space and money. Because of this it sounds just like an instruction manual except for the fact that most instruction manuals arent this long. If you plan on reading this book all the way through good luck its a 282 page instruction manual. If I could have I would have given it a negative one star review

Clock 
Sometimes simplicity can be heartbreaking. So it is with The Clock, a wonderfully simple love story that stands as one of the gems of the MGM golden years. It should be noted right off that this 1945 film is not a musical, despite a talent roster led by the maestro of MGM musicals, producer Arthur Freed. Rather, it’s a straight, black and white romance about a soldier (Robert Walker) with a two-day pass in unfamiliar, overwhelming New York City. He meets an office worker (Judy Garland), and in the glow of the city and each other, they fall in love. Underlying the sweetness of the romance is the time limit of the soldier’s leave, after which he will be sent overseas; the clock brings an urgency to the action, especially after the lovers lose each other in the crush of a subway. Veteran character actor James Gleason provides lovely support, as does his real-life wife, Lucile. Director Vincente Minnelli brought his designer’s eye to the film, turning (by his own avowed intention) New York City itself into the third main character in the drama. It’s not difficult to guess the reason for the film’s strong emotional tug, or for Judy Garland’s radiance; Minnelli had fallen in love with Garland during the making of Meet Me in St. Louis a year earlier, and they would marry after filming The Clock. She was never lovelier than in these two pictures. –Robert Horton
Customer Review: TIMELESS LOVE STORY
ONE OF JUDY GARLAND’S BEST PERFORMANCES, WITHOUT HER SINGING! IF YOU LIKE GOOD OLD FASHIONED LOVE STORIES, WHERE BOY & GIRL BUMP INTO ONE ANOTHER AND ETC.., YOU’LL LOVE THIS MOVIE!!!
Customer Review: Disappointing
I have always been a fan of Judy Garland, but this film was a big disappointment. I don’t suggest any one buy this film. If you like Judy Garland stick with the musicals.
