I 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.

Fun 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?

The first hour is good... the second hour bored me to tears.

Very 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.

A 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.
