"Actor: Edwards"

• His Girl Friday | DVD | (07/08/2000) from £N/A   |  Saving you £N/A (N/A%)   |  RRP £9.99

  His Girl Friday is one of the five greatest dialogue comedies ever made. Howard Hawks had his cast play it at breakneck speed, and audiences hyperventilate trying to finish with one laugh so they can do justice to the four that have accumulated in the meantime. Rosalind Russell, not Hawks' first choice to play Hildy Johnson--the ace newsperson whom demonic editor Walter Burns is trying to keep from quitting and getting married--is triumphant in the part, holding her own as "one of the guys" and creating an enduring feminist icon. Cary Grant's Walter Burns is a force of nature, giving a performance of such concentrated frenzy and diamond brilliance that you owe it to yourself to devote at least one viewing of the movie to watching him alone. But then you have to go back (lucky you) and watch it again for the sake of the press-room gang--Roscoe Karns, Porter Hall, Cliff Edwards, Regis Toomey, Frank Jenks, and others--the kind of ensemble work that gets character actors onto Parnassus. --Richard T Jameson, Amazon.com

• 4 Dogs Playing Poker | DVD | (14/05/2001) from £N/A   |  Saving you £N/A (N/A%)   |  RRP £15.99

  An entry in the recent rash of crooks-falling-out cynical crime-comedy noirs, Four Dogs Playing Poker opens with a robbery at a wedding in Buenos Aires. Five friends pose as staff and guests to penetrate the secret collector's vault of lecherous father-of-the-bride George Lazenby and walk away with a valuable dancing-girl statue. Back in Los Angeles, the team are visited by their sponsor, hefty guest-star crook Forrest Whitaker, who tells them there's a question as to whether the statue is on the ship that's supposed to be smuggling it into the country. If it doesn't show up they'll have to cough up a million dollars between them or get killed. To underline the point and in the first of many "it-just-doesn't-make-sense" plot turns, Whitaker has his men shoot Tim Curry, organiser of the gang, in the leg and then, to show that trying to leave town is a bad idea, has him hung up dead in a meat locker with his feet chain sawed off (offscreen) by the comedy British double-act thugs. An unbelievably complicated scheme is hatched between the surviving four, two couples, whereby they each take out insurance policies that benefit the rest and pick cards and safety-deposit box-keys that identify one of them as the designated murderer and another as a victim. Naturally, suspicions simmer (one character, when asked if she distrusts her friends, replies "all my friends are thieves") and triple-crosses are hatched. The prolific Olivia Williams, in Lulu wig and American accent, emerges as the star, walking a knife-edge between imperilled heroine and cynical manipulator but she is ably supported by druggie, computer savvy Daniel London, hunky bartender Balthazar Getty and jittery insurance functionary Stacy Edwards. Familiar, if watchable. --Kim Newman

• New Squadronaires Orchestra With Roy Edwards | DVD | (08/06/2009) from £N/A   |  Saving you £N/A (N/A%)   |  RRP £14.99

  A Big Band TV Special featuring the reformed New Squadronaires Orchestra under the leadership of Harry Bence. Hear the band play the original wartime swing arrangements with Sheila Southern Stutz Bear Cats & The Squad Cats. There is also an exclusive interview with Roy Edwards band singer and one-time leader of the original Squadronaires as well as vocalist with Geraldo and the Oscar Rabin Band plus a short history of the original orchestra. In 1939 the Royal Air Force implemented a plan to raise morale and entertain the troops during wartime and The Squadronaires was one of the bands organized as a result. The band drew from some of the best musicians of the day. It became a popular jazz band and likely the best known of the English military dance bands of the time with hits like There's Something in the Air and South Rampart Street Parade. The Squadronaires played at dances and concerts for service personnel and also broadcast on the BBC and recorded on the Decca label. The orchestra's first broadcast took place in January 1941. After demobilization the members formed a civilian band of the same name. Ronnie Aldrich had been the arranger and co-piano player but in 1950 he took over as bandleader and the band was then billed as Ronnie Aldrich and The Squadronaires. The Squadronaires continued to work together under Ronnie Aldrich until 1964. Bandleader Harry Bence re-formed the orchestra as the 'New' Squadronaires until his death in 1997 when musical arranger and trumpet player Greg Francis took over the leadership and the The Squadronaires remain as popular today as they always were.
