Rent It Dateline! 1980. Rumors have started making the rounds about some sort of accident at the nuclear power plant down the way.
Recommended The Movie: Of all the filmed versions of Jack London’s novel The Call of the Wild , the rousing, slick 1935 version starring Clark Gable and Loretta Young may be considered the most memorable.

Recommended Reviewed by Glenn Erickson Desk Set is usually given a low standing among the string of Tracy/Hepburn movies. It may not be as inspired as Woman of the Year or as beautifully written as Adam’s Rib , but this comedy about career insecurity in the newly-established corporate America has a lot of relevance today, even if its concept of the supposed threat posed by computers is way off …
Highly Recommended THE MOVIE: Please Note: The stills used here are taken from promotional materials and other sources, not the Blu-ray edition under review.
