User Review - 10/10 by Ashley HOne of my fav and best anthol films of the 1940s!
User Review - 10/10 by Valerie GA phenomenal anthology film by a director who should be much more celebrated.
User Review - 10/10 by Christine%20 MOne of my fav and best anthol films of the 1940s!
User Review - 10/10 by Margaret SThis is a really good movie and an under-rated one, certainly! The story is comprised of vignettes--really, an all-star cast--that center around a tail-coat and the adventures of the different men who owned/wore it and the people in their lives. From an adulterous gent who is shot to a composer whose career needs a boost to a Harvard graduate and bum to an African-American man who finds the coat along with a wonderful surprise. This movie deserves acclaim.
User Review - 8/10 by Christopher BFun little anthology with quality performances from an amazing cast. Does anybody really believe, though, that Charles Boyer, Henry Fonda, Charles Laughton, Edward G. Robinson, and W.C. Fields all wear the same size coat?
User Review - 8/10 by marj dA story of a Tail Coat that was pass on from one person to another, each evolves a story of infidelity, hope, charity and self respect, an anthology of an all star cast, each though have shorter roles gave an effective acting, worth the watch.
User Review - 8/10 by Allison WI guess I'm on a classics kick this week. Tales from Manhattan is an odd little film made up a series of episodes and vignettes where a tailcoat changes the lives of a number of people. Fate can be capricious, though, and some do well and others poorly by owning the coat. With an engaging mix of stories linked together, and a terrific cast of studio power names, Tales of Manhattan is still fun to watch. There's two versions: Either its theatrical release (five stories) or a 'restored' release with the sixth story as part of the disc set. The film isn't without its weaknesses, with a weaker story near the end about a poor black family finding the coat that used far too many stereotypes. However, the love triangles are carried off well, and two of the stories are standouts: Charles Laughton as a struggling composer, and Edward G. Robinson as a man who has lost everything are, in my opinion two of the most heartfelt episodes. Overall, a gem that many people have probably not seen.
User Review - 8/10 by Nate TVery well done film has a great cast. For some reason a nine-minute W.C. Fields set piece was removed for many years from the film, but was restored for home video release and later-day television showings.
User Review - 6/10 by Esther VThe first hour is good... the second hour bored me to tears.
User Review - 6/10 by jay nA great chance to see a galaxy of stars all gathered together but tonally the movie is all over the place. The best parts are in the first 3/4 of the film after that it falls apart somewhat.
