The Major and the Minor – Blu-ray Review (1 Viewer)

[t1g3r5fan]

By the 1940’s, Billy Wilder had already established himself in Hollywood as a successful screenwriter but had expressed issues with the way his scripts were being handled by other directors (Hold Back the Dawn being one example). Hoping for a chance to direct in order to maintain control of what he wrote, he got just that with The Major and the Minor, a comedy that would launch his directorial career and help him rise to even greater heights. Previously released on DVD by Universal, Arrow has licensed the film for their Academy line and given the movie its Blu-ray debut.

Thanks for the comprehensive review of one of my all-time favourite movies. I have the disc here ... just waiting for one of my children to visit so they can also revisit a family favourite.

Thanks for the review, this is one of my favorites as well. Just watched it and once again, I find myself staring at Diana Lynn in every scene she's in.

Diana Lynn is a total scene-stealer, even from Ginger!
